Preparing to Operate The Lawn Mower
Filling with engine oil
IMPORTANT!
The following procedures and adjustments must be performed before the engine
is started. Do not attempt to make any of these adjustments while the engine is
running.
This engine is shipped without oil or petrol; any oil residue is from testing prior to shipping.
The engine must be lled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.
Running the engine with a low oil level will cause irreparable engine damage.
Always use high-quality detergent oil classied SAE 30 oil (or equivalent, e.g. 5W 30,
often termed as 4-stroke lawn mower oil). Only use additives recommended by the engine
manufacturer. To prolong the life of your engine, it is important that the oil is changed after
the rst 5 hours of use.
Using non-detergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and using 2-stroke oil will
damage the engine.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on a at surface.
1. Remove the oil ller dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
2. Insert the dipstick into the oil ller neck, and screw it in.
3. Then remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level must be between the
min. and max. marks on the dipstick. If near the lower level, ll to the upper level with
the recommended oil (SAE 30 or equivalent). Do not overll. Wipe away any spilt oil.
4. Before using for the rst time, add 0.5 litres of oil (SAE 30).
Filling with engine fuel
WARNING!
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow
ames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where petrol is
stored. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or inhalation of vapour.
CAUTION!
Petrol is highly ammable and extreme caution must be taken when handling or
working with it. Keep out of the reach of children.
1. Clean the area around the petrol ller cap before removing the cap. Check the fuel
level.
2. Rell the tank if the fuel level is low.
3. Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol and purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used within 30 days.
4. Never mix oil with petrol.
5. To allow for expansion, refuel carefully and avoid overlling or spillage. There should
be no fuel in the ller neck.
6. Clean up any overow or splashes of petrol before starting the engine.
7. Tighten the ller cap after lling, nger tight only.
Note: The 53cm SP lawn mower has a maximum fuel capacity of 800ml.

18 19
Step 4 - To stop, release the stop/start bar
Failure to start
If the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the engine
may be ooded with excess fuel. Use the following procedure to clean and start a ooded
engine:
A. Release the stop/start bar.
B. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated,
tighten it 1/8 to 1/4 turns with the socket spanner to compress the washer.

D. Operate the starter, as described in steps 2-3.
Mowing with the grass collection bag
WARNING! Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawn
mower.
Start the engine and allow it to run. See ‘Step 2 - Starting the engine’.
Keep a rm grip on the upper handle and stop/start bar and push the lawn mower forward.
Walk along with it, never run with the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or
rough ground. Maintain a stable footing.
Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when changing the direction of the
mower on a slope. Do not use the mower on a steep slope of more than 15°.
Note: The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the
blade and the grass collection system.
Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. Never use the lowest cutting
height for the rst cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only about one third of the
grass height should be cut at this time.
If the lawn mower will not collect the cuttings efciently, the grass discharge chute may be
blocked, the grass bag may be full, or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.
Emptying the grass collection bag
Raise the discharge ap with one hand and remove the grass bag using its handle
with your other hand. To maintain safety, the discharge ap will close back to cover the
mulching plug when you release the ap.
Empty the grass debris in to the grass collection bag and ret the bag. If any grass residues
are caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush.
Mowing with the mulcher
When mulching, remove the collection grass bag, and put the plastic mulching plug into the
rear discharge chute. Then release the ap, it will close back to cover the mulching plug.
Make sure that the side discharge chute is not xed on the deck.
Note: To ensure that the cut grass can be mulched efciently, do not cut high or wet grass.
