Side discharge guard: Illustration 6B Lift the side guard and insert side discharge guard. Then insert the mulching plug in rear discharger to mow with side discharge function. NB Don’t use the grass collector Cable Adjustment Before the machine is being used, the cable adjustment should always be checked. The cables can be checked by activating the handles fully and check if the cable is tight. If not, it must be tightened. If the handle cannot easily be fully activated, the cable should be loosened. After first season, it must be expected that the cables need to be adjusted for optimal activation, as cables can stretch when used. The following cables may be necessary to re-adjust: Illustration 7

2. Cable for engine brake

3. Cable for throttle cable

Adjusting the drive cable: Illustration 7-1* If you experience slack in the drive cable, this can be solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the cable.

• Cable can only be adjusted on some models.15 Adjusting the engine brake cable: Illustration 7-2 If you experience slack in engine brake cable, this can be solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the engine block. Adjusting the throttle cable: Illustration 7-3* If you experience slack in throttle cable, this can be solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the engine block.

• Not all models have throttle cable. Operation Always check and refill oil before the start! Read and apply the instructions given in the enclosed start guide! The oil level should always be between min. and max on the dipstick. Fill with SAE-30 oil. There should be total 0.6 liter oil in the engine. Use only unleaded E5 fuel to the engine. Never overfill the tank. Cutting height adjustment: Illustration 8 The mower has 8 different heights. The cutting height ranges from 15 mm to 80 mm Start: Never start the mower directly on long grass. Recoil with primer (TG670V): Illustration 9

1. Move the throttle lever to full

2. Push the primer several times, first time push 1-3

times, if necessary, supplement with up to 3-5 times. Note: It is not possible to drown engine

3. Hold the handlebar for the engine brake; this will

release the engine brake.

4. Pull the recoil starter gently until you feel resistance

in the rope, then pull quickly and energetic. Do not at any time let go of the recoil starter but slide it gently into starting position.

5. Adjust the throttle lever if necessary

6. Hold the bar for self-propelled in order to start

mowing Note: As long as operating the mower, the bar forengine brake must be engaged. Throttle lever* Engine speed can be adjusted while driving. Turn gas handle to adjust rpm (1-N). It is recommended to run at full throttle for best cutting results.

• Note: Not all models have throttle control Stop: Illustration 10

1. Release the engine brake and self-propelled bar to

turn off the mower and the engine Note: The blades will still rotate at up to 3 seconds after stopping. Water nozzle The left side of the mower deck is fitted with a water nozzle for washing the deck. (See Illustration 1-F)

• When using the water nozzle, the machine must be in the lowest height position and placed on the lawn. This ensures that the water remains under the deck during cleaning.

• Attach a hose to the nozzle.

• Turn on the water and start the engine.

• The rotations of the blades will ensure that the water will clean the underside of the deck. If above instruction is not followed, water may splash back on the gearbox and clutch cable, which increases the risk of corrosion and damage to both parts. This will not be covered by the warranty! Note: For best result clean the deck with the water nozzle function right after each mowing. If the grass dries out, this function will not work optimally. Oil change Oil should be changed for the first time after 5 hours, then at least 1 time per year. You will need an oil extractor kit. Art. no. 40-11336 Oil and oil extractor kit is not included Use an extractor kit and do as follows:

1. Turn on the engine and let it run for 5 min or until

the engine is hot. A hot engine liquefies the oil which makes it easier to drain.

2. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the

syringe that came with the oil extractor kit. Use the hose to reach the sump.

3. Transfer the used oil into a empty container.

4. Fill the engine with SAE-30 oil.

5. Check the oil level using the dipstick. (Min / Max)

Remember to dispose the used oil so that it does no harm to nature. Use your local recycling station. Air Filter The air filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly. If the filter has not been cleaned for a long time, the engine’s power will drop. See Illustration 11A (TG670V)

1. Clean around the air filter before removing the cap.

2. Push the two flaps down and gently pull the cover

3. Carefully remove the paper filter and inspect it.

Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, replace it. Be careful that no dirt gets into the inlet.

4. Wash the black foam element in the right side in

warm water and soap.

5. Press the water out of the foam element and let it

dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the filter to moisten it lightly. Carefully squeeze any surplus oil out of the foam element and reattach.

6. Please note that all parts are assembled correctly

and properly closed, as shown in the picture. Blade Inspection of the blade

• Tilt the mower with the front upwards.

• Inspect blade for damage, cracks or excessive rust or corrosion.

• Check that the blade bolt is tightened. Note: A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be replaced.16 Removing the blade: See illustration 11B If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you must use a torque wrench and some heavy gloves to protect your hands.

1. Loosen the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to

prevent the blade from turning around.

2. Remove the bolt, washer, blade and blade holder

4. Insert the blade holder, blade, washer and bolt in

5. Tighten the blade bolt with 50 Nm. Use a piece of

wood to prevent the blade from turning around.

Warning: A blade must be sharpened so it is in

100 % balance, otherwise it may cause vibrations that could damage the engine. Damage to engine due to faulty sharpening is not covered by warranty. We therefore recommend letting a service center sharpen the blade. Spark plug

1. Remove the spark plug.

2. Brush off dirt from the spark plug.

3. Use a spark plug wrench to loosen the spark plug.

4. Check the insulation is intact.

5. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.

6. Measure the electrode, taking care not to damage

7. The distance should be: 0.7 to 0.8 mm

8. If the spark plug is undamaged refit or replace.

9. Reattach the spark plug.

Storage and maintenance Maintain your lawnmower: Check all bolts, screws, nuts and deck. Dismount the blade and the belt plastic cover for regular cleaning. Always make sure that the blade is sharp. It’s a good idea to take your lawn mower to an annual service check with your authorized service dealer. See your nearest service center at www.texas.dk. Storage: After use the lawnmower kept in a dry and clean room. Clean the machine after every use. Grass and dirt must be removed from the underside of the deck. By tipping the mower (for cleaning) is recommended to tilt the front up (max. 45 degrees). If you tilt it sideways, the carburetor and air filter always face upwards, since oil may run out and destroy the engine. Be aware that removing the spark plug before the mower maintenance. Winter storage: Empty the fuel tank and let the engine run until the gasoline in the carburetor is used up. Spark plug removed. Remove the spark plug and add a teaspoon of oil (engine oil) in the hole. Pull the starter to distribute oil. Mount the spark plug, but not the spark plug cap. Change oil as described in the section above. Spray silicone lubrication into the cables and move them. Finally, clean the mower thoroughly. Dip a cloth in oil and luricate metal parts to prevent rust. Cleaning and lubricating of rachet wheels: See illustration A5 Cleaning and lubricating of all rachet wheels should be done minimum once per year to ensure longer durability. If no maintenance is performed, the warranty will not cover these parts. Follow below procedure (for both rear wheels)*:

1. Remove the wheel covers

2. Unscrew the nut with a 13 mm wrench

3. Pull of the washer and the wheel

4. Remove the retainer ring with a suitable tool and

5. Clean shaft/rachet wheel for old grease and dirt.

6. Lubricate with suitable grease (e.g. EP-0)

7. Mount the wheel and wheel cover again
