Assembly
Assembling the handle
• NOTE: Carefully unfold the lawnmower handle, taking care not to pinch or damage the lawnmowers control cables.
• Lift the Handle panel (part 13) with cup holder away from the unit and sit on the oor ensuring not to pinch or damage the travel speed cable.
• Identify the control lever assembly Items 1 and 2 from the parts list, refer to the diagram below to on how to rotate and position parts 1.4 and 1.6
together and secure in place with the quick coupler.
• Offer into place the complete handle assembly (without the handle panel 13). We suggest you t the handle onto the outside of the xing position
bracket, line up the holes and pass the 4 bolts through the holes and loosely x the nuts on the inside face (fully tighten all xings at the end of
assembly).
• Once the handle is bolted to the mower lift the handle panel (13) up and place it onto the handle assembly use the screws already in the handle
arms to screw into place, ensure all the cables are free, not obstructed or wrapped around the handle.
• Use the two cable management clips to neatly arrange the control cables onto the handle assembly. Make sure they are not kinked and can all
move freely.
Assembling the Grass Catcher
• Clip the plastic hooks at the end of the textile part of the grass catcher to the metal frame (Fig.3).
• The catcher is tted with a ‘Full’ indicator ap. When the ap on the catcher closes, the bag needs to be emptied.

Preparation
• OIL LEVEL - Note: THE UNIT IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT ENGINE OIL.
• Remove the oil ller cap (Red/Orange) by rotating to the left, Use any good SAE30 or SAE15W-30 oil, try to buy one with and extendible ller
nozzle or use a suitable funnel to avoid spillage. Approximately 350-400ml of oil will be required on rst lling, Constantly check the dipstick until
the correct level is achieved. Screw the dipstick in each time carefully and remove the opposite way, wipe the dipstick clean each time to ensure
an accurate reading. Do not over-ll.
• Before each use, unscrew the dipstick and check oil level. (Fig.1.6, Fig.3). Top up if necessary.
• Markings on the dipstick indicate maximum and minimum oil levels.
• FUEL LEVEL - Note: The unit is supplied without fuel. The tank holds a maximum of 1 litre.
• Recommended fuel is lead free and at least 95 octane.
• WARNING: DO NOT overll the fuel.
• WARNING: DO NOT add fuel when the engine is either running or mower is hot.
Operation/Starting the mower
NOTE: Read and fully understand the safety instructions before using this lawnmower.
• WARNING: Turn mower off before making any adjustment or adding components.
• The throttle lever has two start positions
• COLD ENGINE - Push throttle all the way forward.
• WARM ENGINE - Pull the throttle lever all the way back.
• To start the unit, pull the start/brake lever (Fig.1.1) towards the handle (Fig.1.4) and hold it there to allow the motor to spin.
• When initially starting the unit from cold, prime the unit by depressing the priming bulb three or four times (Fig.5).
• Sharply pull the starter cord to it’s extent and allow it to rewind gently under control. The engine should start after 2-4 pulls.
• To turn the engine off, release the start/brake lever slowly. (Only let go or release quickly in an emergency as this can damage your engine).
• NOTE: The cutting blade may not stop immediately.

• To adjust the height of cut, use lever (Fig.1.11). There are 8 set positions for the lever giving a range of cut heights from 25 to 70 mm.
• The mower can be used for a number of applications e.g. mowing with grass collection, with rear discharge, side discharge or mulching.
• When the grass catcher is tted, grass clippings are discharged into it. When full, the ap will close.
• Without the grass catcher installed, the grass catcher cover serves as a deector that directs the movement of the grass clippings towards the
ground. A row of grass clippings is thereby formed behind the lawnmower.
• When side discharge is required, ensure the engine is turned off before attaching the side discharge deector. Lift the side discharge cover and
attach side discharge deector (Fig. 6). To mow with side discharge, it is necessary to install the mulching plug into rear discharge chute (Fig. 7).
• When mulching is required, ensure the engine is turned off before installing the plug (Fig.7)
• To adjust the height of cut, use lever (Fig.1.11). There are 8 set positions for the lever giving a range of cut heights from 25 to 70 mm.
Maintenance
DO NOT attempt any cleaning or maintenance without having disconnected the spark plug.
• Allow the engine to cool before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
• Regular maintenance will increase the life of your unit.
• After each use and before stowage, wipe off and dry all outer surfaces.
• Clean the air lter regularly. Unclip the air lter cover (g.1.8) and remove any debris from the foam lter.
• To change the motor oil, with suitable receptacle in place, remove dip stick (Fig.1.10) and tilt the unit to fully drain it. Replace the dip stick after
