Inspect the lawn mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the lawn mower; - if lawn mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately). ● Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop: - whenever you leave the lawn mower; - before refueling.13

OPERATION PROCEDURES During operation, tightly hold the stop control handle with both hands. Note: During operation, when the stop control handle is released, the engine will stop and thus stopping the lawn mower from operating.

CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off.

1. Release the stop control handle to stop the engine

and blade. GRASS CATCHER Empty and clean the bag, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated. DECK The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawn mower without fi rst stopping the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire. CAUTION: Before changing mowing height, stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable. Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 7 height positions.

1. Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before

changing mower cutting height.

2. The central height adjustment lever offers you 7

different height positions.

3. To change the height of cut, squeeze adjuster lever

toward the wheel, moving up or down to selected height. All wheels will be in the same height of cut. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS SPARK PLUG Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use. CLEANING CAUTION: Do not hose engine. Water can damage engine or contaminate the fuel system.

1. Wipe deck with dry cloth.

2. Hose under deck by tilting the mower so that the

spark plug is up. ● Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut down and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing. ● Only use the lawn mower for the purpose for which it is designed, for cutting and collecting grass. Any other use can be hazardous, causing damage to the machine.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

● Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. ● Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open fl ame or spark. ● Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. ● To reduce the fi re hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. ● Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration. ● Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. ● If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

WARNING: Do not touch rotating blade.

WARNING: Refuel in a well ventilated area

with the engine stopped. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Petrol is highly fl ammable. Store

fuel in containers specifi cally designed for this purpose. Refuel outdoors only, before starting the engine and do not smoke while refueling or handling fuel. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated. Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely. Before tipping the lawn mower to maintain the blade or drain oil, remove fuel from tank.

WARNING: Never fi ll fuel tank indoors, with

engine running or until the engine has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes after running. Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade. Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the engine. Start the mower on a level surface, free of high grass or obstacles. Keep hands and feet away from the rotating parts. Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge opening.14

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS (OFF SEASON) The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn mower for storage.

1. Following the fi nal cut of the season allow the fuel

2. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described

in the lubrication instructions.

3. Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage

4. Lightly coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis

grease to prevent rusting.

5. Store mower in a dry, clean area.

NOTE: - When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or material storage shed; - Care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts. - Be careful not to bend or kink cables. - If the starter rope becomes disconnected from rope guide on handle, disconnect and ground the spark plug wire, Depress the blade control handle and pull the starter rope out from engine slowly. Slip the starter rope into the rope guide bolt on handle.

CAUTION: Do not allow dirt or dust to clog the air fi lter foam element. The engine air cleaner element must be serviced (cleaned) after 25 hours normal mowing. The foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower is used in dry dusty conditions.

3. Wash fi lter element in soap water. DO NOT USE

5. Place a few drops of SAE30 oil on the foam fi lter and

squeeze tightly to remove any excess oil.

6. Reinstall fi lter.

NOTE: Replace fi lter if frayed, torn, damaged or unable to be cleaned. CUTTING BLADE CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the spark plug wire before working on the cutting blade to prevent accidental engine starting. Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade

adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary. For best results your blade should be sharp. The blade may be resharpened by removing it and either grinding or fi ling the cutting edge keeping as close to the original bevel as possible. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance will result in excessive vibration causing eventual damage to the engine and mower.

BLADE MOUNTING TORQUE

Center Bolt must be tightened to 35 - 45 Nm torque. To insure safe operation of your unit. ALL nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for correct tightness. After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the blade will become worn and lose some of the original shape. Cutting effi ciently will be reduced and the blade should be replaced. Replace with an approved factory replacement blade only. Possible damage resulting from blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.15
