111-1471 (C) 29/8/08 12:56 pm Page 1.13 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 OIL Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30 oil.

111-1471 (C) 29/8/08 12:56 pm Page 1.14 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. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the cable the Variable speed Control should only be operated whilst the engine is running.
111-1471 (C) 29/8/08 12:56 pm Page 1.15 OPERATING THE MOWER Step 3 Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the ‘fast’ position after starting a cold engine. To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the engine is running. 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.
111-1471 (C) 29/8/08 12:56 pm Page 1.16 OPERATING THE MOWER Reverse Travel Hold and pull against the handlebar with both hands to reverse the mower. Turning To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direction required. To make a tight turn release the ground drive clutch lever, apply downward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer in the required direction.
111-1471 (C) 29/8/08 12:56 pm Page 1.17 OPERATING THE MOWER Slopes To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees.

Remember the location of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.
111-1471 (C) 29/8/08 12:56 pm Page 1.19 OPERATING THE MOWER 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. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.
