SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and Storage
1)
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are kept tight in order to be certain that the machine is in sound
working order.
2)
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
3)
Always replace faulty silencers and spark plugs.
4)
Only use the replacement disk, cutting lines, spacers, and impeller specified for this product.
5)
The machine must never be stored with petrol in the tank inside any building in which a flame or a spark
could be reached.
6)
The engine must be allowed to cool down before being placed inside any kind of container.
7)
In order to reduce the risk of fire, the engine and the silencer should be kept free of any grass, leaves or
grease.
8)
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
9)
Use a funnel when filling the fuel tank to avoid spillage on to the mower. [see fig. 9]
Routine Maintenance
A few minutes spent on this after every mowing session will ensure that your mower is in a good state of repair.
Please ensure that the engine maintenance is carried out as recommended by the manufacturer, paying particular
attention to the air cleaner system. [see fig 16]
FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AND WILL RENDER THE GUARANTEE VOID.
Ensure the engine cooling fins, carburettor and impeller air vents are clear.
Regularly check that there is no grass build up under the re-coil cover [see fig 24]. To clear it out, remove the cover
by undoing the screws and clearing away the debris.
Always keep the underneath deck clean, this will ensure that the mower operates efficiently.
Check that the cutting disk is tightly bolted and not damaged, the spacers are correctly fitted and that the impeller
has sustained no damage. An out of balance cutting disk causes vibration and may damage the engine.
In the event of your unit hitting an obstruction and damaging either the cutting assembly, the impeller, or both,
please replace before further use.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MOWER WITH AN OUT OF BALANCE CUTTING ASSEMBLY or IMPELLER.
Check all nuts and bolts occasionally and tighten when necessary.
