HEIGHT OF CUT
To adjust the height of cut, the machine has been supplied with three cutting heights -
28mm, 48mm & 68mm.
Adjusting the height of cut should only be undertaken when the engine is off, and the blade
has come to a complete standstill.

OPERATION
FUEL & OIL
WARNING
YOUR MACHINE IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT ENGINE OIL OR PETROL
Operating the engine with insufficient oil, can have catastrophic consequences. Any failure
caused by insufficient oil, will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or
while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 3 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine
with engine running. Fuel the engine at least 15 metres away from your work area. Always
fuel your machine outdoors.
IMPORTANT:
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the
fuel system or essential carburettor components. This could result in starting issues which
would not be covered by your manufacturer’s warranty.
Ensure that any stored petrol is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a
maximum of 30 days, if not mixed with a fuel additive. If the machine is not going to be used
for a long period, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and drain the carburetor of any
remaining fuel.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE (HP-199) from Handy
Parts. A fuel additive added to your fuel at the time of purchase, will help make your
machine easier to start, extend the shelf life of your fuel mixture for up to two years, keeps the
carburettor & engine clean, plus reduces emissions and increases fuel economy. A 250ml
bottle of SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE will treat 25 litres of fuel. Only use 4-stroke SAE30 or 10W/30
air cooled lawnmower engine oil. DO NOT USE automotive or marine oil.
FUELING THE MACHINE
Place the machine onto a solid flat surface, ensuring the
engine is not running. Let the engine rest for a minimum of
two minutes. Fill the fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated
areas.
Unscrew the fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank with clean,
less than 30 days old unleaded petrol with an Octane
rating of 87 (91 RON) or higher. Fill to a maximum of 80%
capacity. This will allow the fuel tank to expand. Fasten the
fuel cap tightly, being careful not to cross-thread. This will
also prevent loosening through vibration during use. Wipe
away any spillage, with an appropriate material. If the
machine has continued leaks, the product should not be
started. Never use the machine with damaged ignition
cable or spark plug cap, as there is a risk of sparks.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.

VERSION 8 01-2020
ENGINE OIL
1. Remove the oil filler cap with built in dipstick.
2. Fill the engine with 4-stroke SAE30 or 10W/30 air
cooled lawnmower engine oil. DO NOT USE
automotive or marine oil. The use of a funnel will aid
the filling. The engine capacity is 0.40L.
3. We recommend the dipstick on the oil filler is
dipped (without screwing into the filler neck) to
ensure the oil level remains between the minimum
and maximum marks on the dipstick.
4. Replace and tighten the oil filler cap with built in
dipstick.
NOTE:
Below 40F° (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard
starting.
Above 80F° (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause
increased oil consumption. Check oil level more
frequently.

MOWING WITH COLLECTOR
WARNING
Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower. Carefully read the
safety instructions of this manual before using the lawnmower.
Never open the rear flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the
engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
1. Select your required height of cut setting.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run and warm up. See Starting the Engine section of the
manual.
3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with OPC/Brake lever always engaged when
attempting to cut.
EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawnmower, it is time to empty the grass bag.
NOTE:
Before taking off the grass collector, switch off the engine & wait for the blade has come to a
stop.
1. To take off the grass collector, use one hand to lift the rear collector cover and the other
to grab onto the grass collector carry handle. The rear collector cover automatically falls
after removing the grass collector and closes off the rear chute opening.
2. Empty the grass debris from the grass collector and refit.
NOTE:
If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. Do not remove
grass debris in the mower deck or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that the cut grass can be collected into
the grass collector, the discharge opening and inside the mower deck must be cleared of
any blockage.

VERSION 8 01-2020
MOWING WITH REAR DISCHARGE
To mow and not collect your cuttings, the machine is equipped to rear discharge.
1. Lift the rear cover and remove the grass collector.
2. Allow the rear collector to sit on the rear of the deck.
3. Place the grass collector in a safe place.
4. Start the machine and mow. The grass will be discharged from the back of the back to
the floor.
MOWING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Walk, never run with the mower, be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
2. Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Mow across the face
of slopes, never down or up.
3. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
4. Best results will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will clog the blade & grass
collection system.
5. Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. Never use the lowest cutting
height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions.
6. Do not remove grass debris in the mower deck or on the blade by hand or with your feet.
Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
7. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are well tightened.
8. Before mowing, place the grass collector in its position.
9. Before mowing make sure that the blade and the blade fixing screw are securely
fastened. When blade cutting edges require re-sharpening, this must be done evenly on
both sides, to prevent any imbalance. If you are unsure how to sharpen the blade,
please visit an Approved Service Dealer. If the blade is damaged, it must be replaced.
10. When mowing, always wear a long trousers and strong footwear.
11. Do not run the engine in an enclosed and/or poorly ventilated area, where gas of the
engine contains carbon monoxide, which are dangerous for your health.
12. Work only when there is enough light.
13. Turn off the engine if you must leave the lawnmower unattended.
14. Never lift the rear of the mower while starting the engine. Never place your hands and
feet underneath the deck or into the rear discharge chute while the engine is running.
15. Never change in any way the rated speed of the engine.
16. Never lift or carry the mower while the engine is running.
17. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cover in these cases:
-Before any operation under the deck or the rear discharge chute.
-Before any maintenance, repairing or checking operations.
-Before carrying, lifting or removing the mower.
-If you leave the mower unattended or changing the cutting height.
-To remove and emptying the grass catcher.
-After hitting a foreign object, stop the engine and check thoroughly the mower in
order to see if it is damaged. Take the machine to a local Approved Service Dealer
for inspection if necessary. Repairs of this nature are not covered under the
Manufacturer’s warranty.
