Petrol
Petrol  deteriorates  over  time.  Engine  starting

may be difficult if you use petrol kept for more

than 30 days. Always run the fuel tank dry when

storing over 30 days.
1. Remove the petrol filler cap  7, slowly add un-

leaded  petrol  to  the  tank  8,  fill  to  approx.

halfway up the fuel strainer.

2. Replace the petrol filler cap  7.
3. Wipe up any spilt petrol from the engine be-

fore starting the mower.

 Engine Oil

The mower is not supplied with oil in the engine,

however it is possible that there is a small quan-

tity in the engine. It is essential to fill with oil be-

fore  starting  the  engine  to  avoid  damage  to

your  engine.  It  is  important  to  use  the  recom-

mended oil to avoid damage to your engine.
1. With  the  mower  standing  on  level  ground,

unscrew and remove the oil filler dipstick 17.

2. Wipe the oil filler dip stick 17  

clean;  

insert  the

oil filler dip stick  17, then remove it again. Do

not screw  it in. Check the oil level.

3. Add  a  good-quality SAE 10W-30 API SF

 

in

 

small

quantities at a time, allowing it to settle. Re-

peatedly add oil and check the level until it

reaches  the  max.  position  dip stick  17. The

engine may require up to 0.4 litres of oil.

4. Refit the oil fill dipstick 17.
