ATTENTION:
FUEL IS A VERY FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
Store fuel in a suitable container.
Only add fuel in an open and well ventilated location. When handling fuel, do not smoke or use a mobile
phone.
Only add fuel when the engine is turned off. Never open the fuel tank or add fuel if the engine is hot or if it is
running.
If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Take the lawnmower away from the location where the fuel was
spilled and take care to avoid possible ignition. Continue with work only after the spilled fuel has evaporated
and the fuel fumes have dissipated;
After adding fuel, securely tighten the fuel tank cap and the cap on the fuel canister.
ATTENTION:
Before carrying out maintenance or repairs, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug.
7. MAINTENANCE
Lawn care
Various forms of care are required depending on the type of grass area.
Therefore, always read the instructions included on seed packages with respect to the mowing height for the
growing conditions in the given locality.
It is necessary to always keep in mind that the larger part of grass consists of a stem and one or more leaves.
When the leaves are cut off completely, the lawn is damaged and the renewal of growth will be much more
diffi cult.
The following instructions generally apply:
– excessively low mowing causes disruption to the roots and subsequently "spotty" appearance;
– in summer, mowing must be higher to prevent the soil from drying out;
– mowing wet grass may result in a lower effi ciency of the blade due to grass catching on the blade and
grass being ripped out of the ground;
– in the event of exceptionally tall grass it is appropriate to perform the fi rst mow at the maximum permitted
mowing height of the machine and then mow again only after two or three days.
The lawn will have a better appearance when it is mowed regularly over its entire area at the same height with
alternating mowing directions.
Maintenance
All nuts, pins and bolts must be properly tightened so that the machine is in a safe and operational
condition. Regular maintenance is the basic prerequisite for ensuring safety of the user, maintain the
lawnmower's operating condition and high performance.
Never store a machine with petrol in the fuel tank inside a building where the fumes could come within range
of an open fi re, sparks or sources of high temperature
Before storing in any enclosed area, allow the engine to cool down.
