Frequently Asked Questions - POWPG10120 PowerPlus

How to start a cold engine?
Set the speed control lever to STARTER MAX. Lower the brake control handle against the upper handle. Pull the starter handle until the engine runs. Let it warm up for 2-3 minutes before mowing.
How to adjust the cutting height?
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable. Squeeze the central adjustment lever towards the wheel, then move it up or down to the desired height among the 7 positions. Make sure all wheels are set at the same height.
How to switch to mulching mode?
Engine off and blade stationary: lift the rear flap, remove the grass bag. Push the mulching plug into the chassis and lock it with the button. Lower the rear flap. Mulching returns finely chopped grass clippings as natural fertilizer.
When should the engine oil be changed?
The first oil change should be done after 8 hours of operation, then every 50 hours or each season. Check the oil level before each use with the dipstick. Use SAE30 oil, max 500 ml.
What type of fuel to use?
Use fresh, clean unleaded petrol. E10 fuel is compatible. Do not mix oil with petrol. Fill up to the base of the filler neck, do not overfill. Only buy the amount usable within 30 days.
How to store the mower out of season?
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the mower. Consult the engine manual for storage instructions. Coat the blade with anti-corrosion grease. Store in a dry place away from fertilizers and corrosive materials. If stored in a metal or poorly ventilated shed, apply a thin layer of silicone oil to cables and moving parts to prevent rust.
What to do in case of abnormal vibrations?
Stop the engine immediately. Remove the spark plug cable. Carefully inspect the mower, especially the blade and chassis, for any damage. Carry out necessary repairs before restarting. Strong vibrations indicate a mechanical problem.
How to install the grass bag?
Lift the rear flap of the mower. Hang the grass bag at the back, making sure it is securely attached. Lower the flap. To remove, lift the flap again and pull the bag. The bag has a fill indicator: flap open = space available, flap closed = bag full.
What are the essential safety precautions?
Always wear long trousers and non-slip shoes. Never mow barefoot. Before mowing, remove objects that could be thrown. Never run the engine in an enclosed space (risk of carbon monoxide). Stop the engine before emptying the bag, adjusting height or cleaning. Keep hands and feet away from rotating blades. Use hearing protection and safety goggles.
How to switch to side discharge mowing?
Engine off and blade stationary: remove the grass bag. Install the mulching plug. Lift the side flap, place the side discharge chute on the hooks, then release the shutter to hold it in place. The side flap closes automatically when the chute is removed.

10.6 For the best results when mowing

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.
