BEFORE YOU BEGIN
WARNING! The following procedures must be carried out before you start the engine of your lawnmower.
FILL OIL SUMP WITH 600ml of
SAE 30 Oil
FILL FUEL TANK WITH
PREMIUM PETROL (NO
E10 PETROL)
!
MAX MIN
Filling oil sump with oil
The mower is supplied with oil in
the engine. You have to add 600ml
oil before starting the engine for
the first time.
1. Firstly, remove the warning
label from under the dipstick,
then remove the dipstick and
slowly pour 600ml of SAE30
or 10W/30 lawnmower grade
engine oil into the engine via
the oil filler (Fig. 1). Replace the
dipstick and tighten.
2. Before you use the mower each
time, check the oil level (Fig.
2) and if necessary top up with
SAE30 engine oil. To check the
oil level, unscrew the yellow
dipstick, wipe with a rag and
replace into the oil filler (do not
screw back in place),
remove the dipstick again and
check the level.
3. The oil level must be between
the min and max marks on the
dipstick (Fig. 3). Replace the
dipstick and screw into place.
Fill Fuel tank with min 95 octane
premium unleaded petrol (Do not
use Ethanol petrol ie. E10).
Petrol is highly ammable so
extreme caution must be taken
when handling it. Always store
petrol in approved containers and
you must ensure that you use fresh
petrol that is less than 4-6 weeks
old. Do not mix oil with petrol.
4. To put petrol in the fuel tank,
firstly remove the warning label
from under the petrol cap.
It’s best to fill the tank using
a clean funnel, but never fill it
completely (Fig. 4) . Instead,
leave at least 13mm from
the bottom of the filler neck to
allow for expansion. Ensure that
you securely tighten the petrol
cap after filling. (Funnel & Fuel
not supplied).

STARTING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
1. Make sure that your mower is
on a safe, at area (a paved area
or path is ideal - avoid thick wet
grass and gravel surfaces) away
from fuel or fueling area to
make starting safe.
2. Slide the ‘Red’ petrol tap lever
to the left ‘On’ position (Fig. 5).
3. Move the throttle control lever
located on the handle to the
‘Cold Start’ position
(Fig. 6).
4. Firmly hold the top handle with
one hand, and then with your
other hand pull the cord slowly
until you feel resistance. Then
pull vigorously with one steady
action (Fig. 7). Guide the cord
back to it’s rest position (do not
release).
5. When the engine has been
running for at least 15 seconds
(more time on cold days) (Fig. 8)
adjust the throttle control lever
to the ‘Run’ position.
6. To restart a hot engine, move the
throttle control lever to the ‘Run’
position and then refer to ‘
Point 4’ .
7. To turn off your mower, slide the
throttle control lever down to the
‘Stop’ position. After it has stopped,
slide the ‘Red’ petrol tap lever to
the right ‘Off’ position.

USING YOUR MOWER
ON OFF
Attach the Grass Catcher
The grass catcher attaches easily by
lifting the mower’s Rear Flap with
one hand (Fig. 9) and slide the Grass
Catcher into position (Fig. 10).
Cutting Height Adjustment
For best results adjust the cutting
height of your mower to suit the
mowing conditions. Do not try to
remove too much grass in one pass.
Adjustment of the cutting height is
made centrally. Take hold of the cut
height adjustment lever, positioned on
the mower’s righthand rear wheel.
Move the lever outwards to release
it from its locating notch. Move
the lever towards the front of the
machine to increase the cutting height
and towards the rear to reduce the
cutting height. Return the lever to
the locating notch to set the desired
cutting height.
Make sure the handle fits snugly and
securely into its serrated holder.
Mowing your Lawn
Start your mower (see: Starting the
engine). After mowing and emptying
the Grass Catcher ensure the engine
is not running and turned off.
Cleaning your Mower
Cut grass is damp. Regular cleaning
after each use will ensure better
functioning of the mower and reduce
the risk of corrosion or seizure.
Having finished mowing, allow
the engine to cool then remove
accumulated grass clippings from and
around the engine with a brush. Clean
the grass collection bag annually with
a brush or gentle spray of water and
allow to dry.
Clean underneath regularly -
disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt
the mower on back. Remove cut grass
from the cutting system with a scraper
and a brush.
Do not use a pressure washer or hot
water to clean the mower. Dry off the
machine before storing by leaving it
clear surface to prevent corrosion or
seizure.
Storing your Mower
Store your mower in a dry, well-
sparks or heat sources. Disconnect the
spark plug cap. Avoid storing beneath a
tarpaulin or similar cover as it may
cause condensation resulting in
corrosion.
Transporting your Mower
Ensure the fuel tank is empty. Run
the engine until any remaining fuel is
consumed. Allow the engine to cool.
Turn fuel tap to OFF position (Fig. 13).
How to cut for best results
For best results cut your lawn in
alternative directions switching
direction each time you cut. Cut your
lawn at an equal and same height.
Slightly overlap your cutting lines.
