Frequently Asked Questions - SP534ES MOUNTFIELD

How do I start the Mountfield SP534ES lawn mower?

First, ensure the blade brake lever is held against the handle. Move the throttle to CHOKE (if cold). For manual start, pull the starter rope sharply. For electric start, turn the key. Once running, move throttle to FAST.

How do I adjust the cutting height?

Use the four cutting height levers (one per wheel). On some models, remove the brake cover, loosen the pin with a wrench, move the wheel to the desired hole, and tighten. Ensure all wheels are at the same height. Only adjust when the blade is stopped.

What type of fuel should I use?

Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90. Do not use fuel containing methanol. Do not add oil or additives. Fill the tank to about 10 mm below the filler neck.

What type of engine oil is recommended?

Use high-quality detergent oil classified SF‑SG. For temperatures 5–35 °C, use SAE 30; for -15 to +5 °C, use 5W‑30 or 10W‑30; for -25 to +35 °C, synthetic 5W‑30 or 10W‑30. Oil capacity is 0.65 L.

How do I change the engine oil?

Run the engine briefly to warm the oil, then stop. Place the mower level. Remove the oil fill cap, tip the mower on its right side to drain oil into a container. Refill with fresh oil to the MAX mark on the dipstick.

How do I clean or replace the air filter?

Remove the cover, take out the foam element. Wash it in liquid detergent and water, squeeze dry. Saturate with 2 tablespoons of clean engine oil, squeeze to distribute, and remove excess. Reinstall. Replace if damaged. Do not use compressed air.

How do I store the mower for a long period?

Drain fuel from the tank. Remove the spark plug, add about 3 cl of clean oil into the cylinder, pull the starter rope slowly to distribute, then reinstall the spark plug without connecting the cap. Store in a dry, ventilated place.

How do I adjust the accelerator cable if the engine doesn't reach full speed?

Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap. Loosen the clamp screw on the cable casing. Move the throttle to CHOKE. Push the governor lever forward as far as possible, then tighten the clamp screw.

How often should I service the spark plug?

Check and clean the spark plug every 25 hours. Replace it every 50 hours or every season. Use only recommended plug (Champion PN2VC or RN9YC). Set the gap to 0.6–0.8 mm.

What safety precautions must I follow?

Always read the manual. Keep children and pets away. Wear sturdy shoes and long trousers. Never mow on slopes >20°. Stop the engine before adjusting height, removing grass catcher, or transporting. Release the blade brake to stop the engine immediately.

IMPORTANT - Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and original performance of the machine unchanged in time.

Store the lawnmower in a dry place.

1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, maintenance or adjustment operation on the machine.

2) Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next start-up difficult.

3) The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of the cut grass; in this case, intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.

4) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt the machine from the side shown in the engine handbook; following the relative instructions.

5) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the motor or the machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.

4.1 All operations on the blade should be carried out at a specialized centre.

Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the blade (2) as shown in the drawing and tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 50-60 Nm.

4.2 In the power-driven models, regulate the adjuster (1) so that the wire (2) is slightly loose, with the lever (3) at rest

4.3 To recharge a flat battery, connect to the battery charger (1) following the instructions in the battery maintenance handbook.

Do not connect the battery charger directly to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the engine using the battery charger as a power source, as it may get damaged.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE MANUAL

Some paragraphs in the manual containing information of particular importance for safety and operation are highlighted at various levels of emphasis, and signify the following:

NOTE

or

IMPORTANT

These give details or further information on what has already been said, and aim to prevent damage either to the engine or other damages.

WARNING!

Non-observance will re-

sult in the risk of injury to oneself or others.

DANGER!

Non-observance will result in the risk of serious injury or death to oneself or others.

NOTE

Whenever a reference is made to a position on the machine "front", "back", "left" or "right" hand side, this is determined by facing the direction of forward travel.

2. GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS

(to be strictly applied)

A) TRAINING

1) Read carefully the instructions in this manual as well as those of the lawnmower powered by this engine. Learn how to stop the engine quickly.
2) Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the engine.
3) Never use the engine while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
4) Remember that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

The number before the paragraph title refers to the text references and their related figures (shown inside front and back covers).

1.2 SAFETY SYMBOLS

Your engine should be used with due care and attention. Symbols have therefore been placed on the engine to remind you of the main precautions to be taken. Their full meaning is explained later on.

You are also asked to carefully read the safety regulations in the applicable chapter of this handbook.

Warning! - Read instructions before using.

Warning! - Keep away from hot surfaces.

B) PREPARATION

1) Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings, jewels or items that could become caught; tie up long hair and keep at safe distance (behind the lawnmower handle) while starting the lawnmower.
2) Turn engine OFF and let it cool before removing gas cap.
3) WARNING: DANGER! Fuel is highly flammable:
- store the fuel in special containers;
- refuel only outdoors by using a funnel; never smoke while refueling and/or handling fuel;
- add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the

4. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The engine performance, reliability and life are influenced by many factors, some external and some strictly associated with the quality of the products used and with the scheduled maintenance.

The following information allow a better understanding and use of your engine.

4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

The operation of a four-stroke endothermic engine is affected by:

a) Temperature:

• Working in low temperatures could lead to a difficult cold starting.
• Working in very high temperatures could lead to a difficult hot starting due to the evaporation of the fuel either in the carburetor float chamber or in the pump.
• In any case, the right kind of oil must be used, according to the operating temperatures.

b) Altitude:

• The higher the altitude (above sea level), the lower the max power developed by an endothermic engine.
• Therefore, at the highest altitudes the load on the lawnmower should be reduced avoiding, for example, to cut tall or wet grass.

4.2 FUEL

A good quality fuel is the major issue for the engine reliability of operation.

a) Use unleaded gasoline, with a minimum of 90 octane.
b) Use clean, fresh fuel; purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days, to prevent gum from forming inside the container or the tank.
c) Do not use fuel which contains Methanol.
d) Do not add neither oil nor any kind of fuel additive.

4.3 OIL

Use always high quality oils, choosing their viscosity grade according to the operating temperature.

a) Use only detergent oil classified SF-SG.
b) Choose the SAE viscosity grade of oil from this chart:
- from 5 to 35 °C = SAE 30
- from -15 to + 5 °C = 5W-30 or 10W-30
(Multi-viscosity)
- from -25 to + 35 °C = Synthetic oils 5W-30
or 10W-30
(Multi-viscosity)

c) The use of multi-viscosity oils in hot temperatures will result in higher than normal oil consumption; therefore, check oil level more frequently.
e) Do not mix oils of different brands and features.
d) SAE 30 oil, if used below 5°C, could result in possible engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.
f) Oil should be at "MAX" mark (see 5.1.1): do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause:
- Smoking;
- Spark plug or air filter fouling, which will cause hard starting.

4.4 AIR FILTER

The air filter must always be in perfect working order, to prevent grass cuttings and dust from getting sucked into the engine, reducing the efficiency and life of the machine.

a) Always keep the filtering element free of grass cuttings and in perfect working order (see 6.5).
b) If necessary, replace the filtering element with an original spare part. Incompatible filtering elements can impair the efficiency and life of the engine.
c) Never start the engine without mounting the filtering element properly.

4.5 SPARK PLUG

Not all the spark plugs for endothermic engines are the same!

a) Use only spark plugs of the recommended type, with the right heat range.
b) Check the length of the thread, because - if too long - it will damage the engine beyond repair.
c) Make sure that the electrodes are clean and their gap is correct (see 6.6).

5. STANDARDS OF USE

5.1 BEFORE EVERY USE

Before every use, perform the following checking procedures in order to assure a regular operation.

5.1.1 Check oil level

See the specific chapter (8.1) for the oil to be used.

b) Clean around oil fill.
c) Unscrew the cap (1), clean the end of the dipstick (2) and insert it, as illustrated, without screwing it down.
d) Remove the cap with the dipstick and check the oil level that must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
e) If oil is required, add oil of the same kind up to the "MAX" mark, being careful not to spill any outside the oil fill.
f) Fully tighten the fillercap (1) and wipe off any spilled oil.

5.1.2 Check air cleaner

The efficacy of the air cleaner is crucial for the good performance of the engine; never start the engine if the filter element is missing, broken or insufficiently saturated with oil.

a) Clean around the filter cover (1).
b) Release the rear clip (2); remove the cover (1) and check the foam element (3) that should be undamaged, clean and well saturated with oil. If not, oil or replace the foam element (3) (see 6.5).
c) Put the cover (1) back.

5.1.3 Adding fuel

IMPORTANT Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the motor or the machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.

See "Technical Data" chapter (8.1) for the fuel characteristics.

Add fuel only when the engine is cold.

a) Place the lawnmower level.
b) Clean around the fillercap (1).
c) Remove the fillercap (1).
d) Using a clean funnel (2), fill tank to approximately 10 mm below the inner edge of the filler neck (3), being careful not to spill fuel.
e) Tighten the fillercap (1) back and clean any spilled fuel.

5.1.4 Spark plug cap

Connect the cap (1) of cable to the spark plug (2), making sure that there is no grass or dirt either inside the cap or on the spark plug terminal.

5.2 STARTING THE ENGINE (cold)

Always start the engine with the lawnmower traction drive system (if present) in neutral, or with the gear (if present) in "neutral".

• Move the throttle (1) to "CHOKE".
• On lawnmowers, position the engine brake lever (2) against the handle, as described in the instructions given.

- Manual starting

a) Hold the starter rope grip (3) and pull it slowly until you feel some resistance, then tug the starter rope hard.
b) When the engine starts, let go of the rope.

c) When the engine is cold, disconnect the spark plug and remove the key (3) (if present).
d) Remove any grass cuttings from the engine and especially around the exhaust silencer to reduce the risk of fire.

5.7 CLEANING AND STORAGE

a) Do not spray with water or use hydraulic lances to clean the exterior of the engine.

b) Use an airgun (max 6 bar) making sure that no grass debris and dust fall inside the engine.
c) Store the lawnmower (and the engine) in a dry place, sheltered from severe weather conditions and sufficiently ventilated.

5.8 LONG STORAGE (over 30 days)

In case the engine has to be stored for a long time (for example at the end of the season), a few precautions are needed to help the future start-up.

a) Drain fuel from tank to prevent build-ups inside the tank.
b) Remove the spark plug and pour inside the spark plug hole about 3 cl of clean engine oil. Close the hole with a cloth, then pull, slowly and carefully, the starting rope so that, with a few engine revolutions, the oil will be distributed on the cylinder inner walls. Reinstall the spark plug without connecting the cable cap..
