2. SPARK PLUG (FIG.I)

Fig. I

1) Once the engine has cooled, remove 
the spark plug using the socket spanner 
supplied. 
2) Clean the plug with a wire brush. 
3) Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 
0.7~0.8 mm.
4) Install the spark plug carefully by hand, 
to avoid cross-threading.
5) After the spark plug is seated, tighten 
with spanner to compress the washer.

3. AIR FILTER (FIG.J1&J2)

0.7~0.8

Unclip the air filter cover and remove the 
sponge filter element. To avoid objects 
falling into the air tank, replace the air filter 
cover. Wash the filter element in warm 
soap water, rinse and allow to dry naturally. 

 

Warning! Never run the engine 
without the air filter element 

installed.

4. CHANGING THE OIL 

Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil filler, 
have a container ready to catch the oil and 
remove the dipstick. Once the oil has 
been emptied, replace the dipstick and 
wipe clean any spillages.
Refill of SAE30 oil. When the dipstick is 
rested on the filler pipe (i.e. not screwed in 
place), the oil level must be between the 

min

 and 

max

 marks on the dipstick. See 

‘’Filling with Engine Oil’’. Do not overfill. 

Start the engine and allow it run briefly. 
Stop the engine, wait one minute and 
check the oil level. Top up if necessary.

5. ADJUSTING THE SELF PROPELLED
ROPE (FIG L1&L2)

1) To make the adjustment, slacken off the 
lock nut (e)and lighten the adjusting bolt (f) 
a few turns (clockwise) (Fig.L2). 
2) Re-tighten the lock nut.
