INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Hayter mower. The following pages are designed to help you gain safe and efficient service from your mower. IMPORTANT: This ‘Owners Handbook’ should be regarded as part of the mower as it gives essential information regarding mower safety, operation, maintenance and specifications. Read and understand this handbook prior to operating your mower for the first time. Make sure you are familiar with all the controls and points of regular maintenance.
WARRANTY LIMITED WARRANTY Hayter Limited warrants to the original user/purchaser that this unit shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from the date of purchase.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Safety Alert Symbol This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages. When you see this symbol be alert to the possibility of injury. Carefully read the following and inform others. Your mower is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the following precautions may result in serious injury. Training Before using the mower read the owners handbook carefully. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Preparation - Always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage. - Replace fuel tank and oil tank caps securely. A damaged cutterblade or loose fixing bolt are major hazards. Before use, always visually inspect the cutting mechanism to ensure that it is in good condition.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Operation Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Never pick up or carry the mower while the engine is running. Never lift the rear deflector while the engine is running. Never touch the exhaust/exhaust guard or cooling fins when the engine is hot. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead: - Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute. - Before cleaning/checking or working on the mower.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Maintenance & Storage Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine and the surrounding deck area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Check the rear deflector and grassbag frequently for wear or deterioration. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is cool. Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the cutterblade.
ASSEMBLING THE MOWER Delivery Checklist Remove the mower from the packaging and check that the following items have been supplied correctly. If any items are missing contact, your local Hayter dealer. 1. Engine Handbook. 2. Grassbag. 3. Charger (341A) 4. Ignition Key (341A) To prevent accidents cut off the long ribbon attached to the grassbag and discard. (341A Only) Note: Prior to first use please fully charge the battery for 14 hours.
BEFORE STARTING THE MOWER Prevent Engine Damage 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. Oil Type Check Oil Level 0.15 Litres ADD Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.
OPERATING THE MOWER Controls Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers return freely to their rest position when released. Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance should be felt when moving the lever to the ‘choke’ position. Starting - Step 1 Move the throttle control lever to the ‘choke’ position before starting a cold engine.
OPERATING THE MOWER Electric Start (Electric start Only) Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the engine stop lever. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direction and hold in position to crank the engine. When the engine starts release the key and move the throttle to the fast position after starting a cold engine. Note: Cranking the engine for more than 15 seconds in any one minute can damage the starter motor.
OPERATING THE MOWER Slopes To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Height of Cut 305113 To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Finally release the lever at the required position and ensure it locks firmly into one of the nine setting notches. Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions.
OPERATING THE MOWER Without Grass Collection Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position. Heavy Growth Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clippings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted.
LAWN CARE CALENDAR To be used as a guide only. January There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged. February Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary. March The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made.
LAWN CARE CALENDAR August Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weather conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture. September Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the roots from the winter frost and snow. October Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service will be required if working for prolonged periods under dusty, dry conditions, or when airborne debris is present or after extensive operation cutting tall, dry grass. First 5Hrs After the very first five hours change the engine oil Daily Check the oil level Remove grass debris from around the engine, exhaust/exhaust guard and air ways in the top cowl and underside of the deck housing.

MOWER MAINTENANCE Deck Housing Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck housing immediately after use. Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive.
