8.5 FILLING WITH OIL AND CHECKING
THE OIL LEVEL – FIGS. 9 – 10
Caution!
The following procedures and adjustments must be
performed before the engine is started.
Do not attempt to make any of these adjustments
while the engine is running.
To prevent engine damage, the engine is shipped
without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with
the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting
the engine. SEE SPECIFICATION ON PAGE 5.
Note: Running the engine with a low oil level will
cause engine damage. It is recommend that high
detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil
used. Using non-detergent oil can shorten the
engine’s service life and using 2-stroke oil will
damage the engine.
Caution!
Always use high quality detergent oil classified
SAE30 oil (or equivalent e.g. SAE 10W/30, often
termed as 4 Stroke lawn mower oil). Never use
additives with recommended oil. To prolong the life
of your engine it is important that the oil is changed
after the first 5 hours of use.
Note: To check the engine oil level, stop engine
and place the mower on a level surface.
Remove the engine oil cap (14)and wipe oil from it
with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick into the oil
filler neck, but do not turn it in. Then remove the
dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level must
be between the Min and Max marks on the
dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to upper lever
with the recommended oil (SAE30 or equivalent).
Do not overfill. Wipe away any spilt oil. Align the
ribs of the cap with the groove of the filler neck,
then rotate 1/4 turn to secure it.

8. PREPARING THE LAWN MOWER
8.6 FILLING WITH ENGINE FUEL –
FIG. 11
Warning!
Petrol is highly flammable and extreme precaution
must be taken when handling or working with it.
Keep out of reach of children. Refuel in a well-
ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
smoke or allow flame or sparks in the area where
the engine is re-fueled or where petrol is stored.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
inhalation of vapour. Take extra care when filling a
hot engine. Avoid if possible, and wait for the
engine to cool before filling.
Caution!
Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol (RON95).
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within
30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. Do not fill into
the base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not
overfill the fuel tank. To prevent engine damage the
engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine
must be filled with the correct grade of oil and
petrol before starting the engine.
Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (10)before
removing it. Remove the warning tag, check the fuel
level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel
carefully to avoid overfilling or spilling fuel. There
should be no fuel in the filler neck. Clean up any
overflow or splashes of petrol before starting the
engine. Tighten the filler cap after filling, finger tight on.
8.7 SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT –
FIG. 12
Caution!
Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is
switched off the spark plug boot has been pulled.
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the
height adjusting handle (17). Different cutting
heights can be selected from position 1 to position
7. The cutting height range is from 25mm to 75mm.
Pull the adjusting handle out and select the desired
cutting height. The handle snaps Into the desired
position.

9. OPERATING THE LAWN MOWER
9.1 START UP OPERATION –
FIGS. 13 - 15
Firstly, check the machine and add fuel and
lubricating oil.
Push the priming bulb(9)fully 2 – 3 times. Take
the pull cord starter and maintain it against the
upper handle. To start engine only the engine
operation lever (1) needs to be closed, pull on the
recoil starter handle (8)until you can feel
resistance and then pull harshly.
9.2 MOWING
Warning!
Never open the rear flap when the grass collection
bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the
engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Never run with the mower and take care when
mowing uneven or rough ground. Mow across
slopes, never up and down. Be careful when
changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do
not mow excessively steep slopes. The best result
will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend
to clog the blade and the grass collection system.
Grass grows at different rates at different time of the
year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the
first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only
about one third of the grass height should be cut.
When mowing with mulching, to ensure that the cut
grass can be scattered efficiently, do not cut high
or wet grass. When you have been cutting for
several minutes, stop the mower, and clean the
blade and the deck.
For both models, press the drive lever (2),
the clutch will close and the lawn mower will start
to move with the engine running. To stop the
moving lawn mower, simply release the drive lever
(2) in plenty of time. To stop the engine from
running, simply release the engine operation lever
(1).

10. MAINTENANCE
10.1 MAINTENANCE – FIGS. 16 – 21
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will keep
your mower in good working condition.
The motor must be correctly ventilated during operation. Avoid blocking the air inlets and vacuum
the ventilation slots regularly.
FIG. 17
FIG. 16
FIG. 18
FIG. 19
The engine oil should be changed after the first
8 hours.
How to service the air filter
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply
too little air to the carburettor. If the air contains a
lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more
frequently.
Warning!
Never run the engine without the air filter element
installed.
Remove the outside cover. Be careful to prevent
dirt and debris from falling into the air filter
assembly.
Separate the air filter from the air filter housing.
Inspect the air filter. Clean dirty air filter with warm
water and mild soap. Allow it to dry thoroughly
before re-installation
Install the air filter assembly onto the carburettor
and secure with screw.
Note: Do not use pressurised air or solvents to
clean the filter. Pressurised air can damage the
filter and solvents will dissolve the filter.

– 17 –
Replacing the blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorised service workshop. For optimum results
it is recommended that the blade should be
inspected once a year.
Warning!
Before you remove the grass collection bag,
stop the engine and wait until the blade stops
completely. You will need garden gloves (not
provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to
remove the blade. Always handle the blade with
care, sharp edges could cause injury. Renew your
metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years,
whichever is sooner, regardless of condition. If the
blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a
new one.
Note: Don’t invert the mower. Tip it slightly towards
the oil filler pipe and reach under the deck.
Maintain the sharpness of the blade when cutting
grass. If the blade has worn excessively and
become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or
sharpened. The sharpness of the blade will affect
the performance of the lawnmower.
Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counter-
clockwise, using a spanner wrench. Remove the
washer and the blade.
Fit the new or re-sharpened blade by putting it on
the two studs on the blade flan and then replacing
the washer and bolts. Make sure the blade is
correctly located, and then firmly tighten the bolt.
Do not over tighten. The up turn of the blade must
project into the motor compartment.
Cleaning a flooded engine
Note: If the engine won’t start after you have
operated the starter several times, the engine may
be flooded with excess fuel. Use following
procedure to clear and start a flooded engine.
Release the engine start/stop lever to stop engine.
When cool, remove the spark plug, dry it, and then
reinstall it.
To clean it, use a wire brush.
Note: Install the spark plug carefully by hand to
avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated
tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn with socket spanner of spark
plug to compress the washer.
