GENERAL

This symbol indicates a WARNING. Per-

sonal injury and/or damage to property

may result if the instructions are not fol-

lowed carefully.

• Read the instructions carefully. Familiarise

yourself with all the controls and correct opera-

tion of the machine.

• This machine is only intended for mowing

lawns. Any other type of usage, e.g. the cutting

of bushes, hedges or climbing plants, is forbid-

den due to the risk of personal injury.

• Never let children or any person not acquainted

with these regulations use the mower. Local

regulations may include restrictions concerning

the minimum age of the driver (operator).

• Never use the machine if other people, particu-

larly children, or animals are in the vicinity.

• Remember that the driver (operator) will be

held responsible for any accidents involving

other persons or their property.

• Do not use the machine while under the influ-

ence of alcohol, drugs or medicines, or when

you are tired or unwell.

PREPARATIONS

• Always wear strong shoes and long trousers

when mowing. Do not operate the machine in

bare feet or when wearing sandals.

• Always use hearing protectors (earplugs or

muffs).

• Check the area to be cut thoroughly and remove

any stones, sticks, steel wire or other objects.

• Replace the silencer if defective.

• Before use, always check to make sure that the

blades and their fixing components are not

worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged

components in complete sets to ensure that the

correct balance is maintained.

WARNING - Petrol is highly inflammable:

• Always store petrol in containers specially

made for the purpose.

• Only refill with petrol outdoors. Never smoke

while refilling.

• Fill with petrol before starting the engine. Nev-

er remove the filler cap or refill with petrol

while the engine is running or still hot.

• If any petrol is spilt, do not try to start the en-

gine. Move the mower from the place where the

petrol was spilt and avoid any form of sparking

until the petrol fumes have evaporated.

• Do not forget to replace the petrol filler cap and

storage container cap after refuelling.

OPERATION

• Do not run the engine in confined spaces in

which dangerous carbon monoxide gas can ac-

cumulate.

• Use the machine only in daylight or where there

is good illumination.

• Avoid cutting wet grass if possible.

• Ensure that you can walk steadily when work-

ing on slopes.

• Never run, always walk.

• When using mowers fitted with wheels, always

cut across the slope, never in an up or down di-

rection.

ENGLISH GB

• Great care is required when changing direction

on a slope.

• Do not use the machine on slopes of more than

15°.

• Great care is required when reversing or when

pulling the mower towards you.

• Switch off the engine if the mower must be tilt-

ed when being transported over surfaces other

than grass, and also when the mower is being

transported to and from the area to be cut.

• Never operate the mower with inadequate pro-

tection or without safety equipment, e.g. deflec-

tors and/or the grass collector, in place.

• Do not change the setting of the engine regula-

tor and never rev the engine.

• Start the engine carefully according to the in-

structions given. Keep your feet well away from

the blades.

• Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine

unless the mower must be tilted for starting. If

this is the case, it should not be tilted more than

necessary, and the part furthest away from the

operator should be tilted.

• Keep hands and feet away from the rotating

blade and other rotating parts. If the mower has

a grass ejector opening, never put your hand

into it.

• Never lift or carry the mower while the engine

is running.

Shut off the engine and detach the spark plug

lead:

• When leaving the mower unattended.

• When removing sticks and other rubbish, or

when the grass ejector has become clogged.

• During inspection, cleaning, or when servicing

the mower.

• When checking for damage and performing any

repairs after running over a foreign object, be-

fore restarting the mower.

• When checking the machine if it starts to vi-

brate excessively. (Check immediately.)

• Before refilling with petrol.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Check that all nuts and bolts are tightened so

that the machine is in a safe operating condi-

tion.

• Never keep the machine, with petrol in the tank,

inside buildings where fumes can come into

contact with naked flames or sparks.

• Allow the engine to cool before putting the ma-

chine away.

• To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, si-

lencer and fuel tank free from grass, leaves and

excess oil.

• If the machine is fitted with a grass collector, it

should be checked regularly for signs of wear or

damage.

• To ensure safe operation, replace any worn or

damaged parts.

• If it becomes necessary to empty the fuel tank,

this must be done out of doors.

• Store the machine where children cannot gain

access to it.

THE ENVIRONMENT

In order to protect the environment, we recom-

mend that the following points should be given

special consideration:

• Always use pure unleaded petrol.

• Always use a funnel and/or a petrol can with a

level control to avoid spillage when refilling the

fuel tank.

• Do not fill the fuel tank completely.

• Do not overfill with engine and/or transmission

oil.

• When changing the oil, ensure that all the used

oil is collected. Avoid spillage. Take the used

oil to a recycling unit.

• Do not dispose of the used oil filter in a rubbish

bin. Take it to a recycling unit.

• Replace the silencer if faulty. When carrying

out repairs, always use original spare parts.

• If the machine was originally equipped with a

catalyser which is now faulty, a new one must

be fitted when the silencer is replaced.

ENGLISH

• Always seek professional help when the carbu-

rettor requires adjustment.

• Clean the air filter according to the directions.

• When, after many years of service, your ma-

chine needs to be replaced or is no longer re-

quired, we recommend that the machine is

returned to your distributor for recycling.

ENGLISH GB

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawnmower is delivered without

any oil in the engine crankcase. The

crankcase must be filled with oil before

the engine is started for the first time.

Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 10). Fill the engine’s

crankcase with approx. 0.55 litres of good quality

oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or

SAE 10W-30 oil.

Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.

CHECK THE OIL LEVEL

Check before using the machine that the oil level is

between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the

dipstick.

Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 10). Slide it

down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull

it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level is

low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Never remove the filler cap or fill with

petrol while the engine is running or still

warm.

Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al-

low a little room for the petrol to expand

if necessary.

Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.

alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-

tion that is less harmful to people and nature. It has

e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols

and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.

NOTE! If you change to environmental-

ly friendly petrol in an engine previously

run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),

the petrol manufacturer’s recommen-

dations must be followed carefully.

Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be

used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed

with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol

is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than

can be used within thirty days.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do

not start in long grass.

2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to

the spark plug.

3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the

primer fully 6 times (fig. 11).

When starting a warm engine, the primer does

not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a

lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer

3 times.

4. Press in the Start/Stop loop Gtowards the han-

dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loop Gmust be kept

pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.

12).

5 Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by

pulling briskly on the starter cord.

For ease of starting, press down the handle so

that the front wheels lift slightly from the

ground. Do not start in thick grass.

Keep hands and feet away from the ro-

tating blade(s). Never put your hand or

foot under the blade casing or in the

grass ejector while the engine is run-

ning.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

The engine may be very warm immedi-

ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the

silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.

This can cause burn injuries.

1. Release the Start/Stop loop G(fig. 12) to stop

the engine. This loop must not be disengaged

(e.g. by setting it in the depressed position

against the handle), as it will not be possible to

stop the engine.

2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the

spark plug cable from the spark plug.

If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop

the engine by removing the spark plug

cable from the spark plug. Immediately

take the lawn mower to an authorised

workshop for repair.

CLUTCH LOOP

Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop Ito-

wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing

the clutch loop I (fig. 12).

ENGLISH

SPEED

Do not touch the variator control when

the engine is not running. This can dam-

age the operation of the variator.

Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator con-

trol to one of the 4 positions (fig. 13).

The various positions have the following speeds:

Position :approx. 2.8 km/h

Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h

Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h

Position :approx. 4.5 km/h

CUTTING HEIGHT

Shut off the engine before adjusting the

cutting height.

Do not set the cutting height so low that

the blade come into contact with uneven

ground.

The mower has single-lever control for adjusting

the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the

cutting height to one of the positions best suited to

your lawn (fig. 14).

MAINTENANCE

No servicing may be carried out on the

engine or lawnmower without first re-

moving the spark plug cable from the

spark plug.

Stop the engine and remove the spark

plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,

e.g. during transportation.

If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it

must be tilted so that the engine’s spark

plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawnmower

when the fuel tank is empty.

CLEANING

After each use the mower should be cleaned. This

is particularly important on the underside of the

mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose.

The mower will then last longer and work better.

High-pressure washers should not be used.

If grass has dried on to the mower casing, it can be

scraped clean. If necessary, touch up the underside

with paint to prevent rust damage.

Clean the silencer and the surrounding

area regularly to remove grass, dirt and

flammable waste products.

Remove the transmission cover by removing the

screws S (fig. 20) and clean around the transmis-

sion and drive belts with a brush or compressed air

once or twice a year.

Once every season, the drive chain should be lubri-

cated. Remove the right hand roller cover and add

a small amount of chain oil to the chain.

COOLING SYSTEM

Before each use, the engine’s cooling system must

be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges

and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc.

OIL CHANGE

Replace the oil when the engine is warm

and the fuel tank is empty. In order to

prevent burns, take care while draining

as the oil is hot.

Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-

ation, and subsequently every 50 hours of opera-

tion or once a season. Remove the dipstick, tilt the

mower and let the oil run out into a container. Be

careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.

Fill with new oil: Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.

The crankcase holds approx. 0.55 litre. Fill until

the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX“ mark on the dip-

stick.

AIR FILTER

A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine

output and increases engine wear.

Carefully remove the air cleaner so that no dirt

falls down into the carburettor (fig. 15). Remove

the expanded plastic filter and wash it in liquid de-

tergent and water. Dry the filter. Pour a little oil on

the filter and squeeze it in. Reinstall the air cleaner.

Clean the filter every three months or after every

25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More fre-

quently if the engine is working on dusty ground.

SPARK PLUG

Never remove the spark plug or spark

plug cable when checking to see if there

is a spark. Always use an approved test

instrument.
