Transportation and storage
Transportation
Turn the fuel tap OFF when transporting the mower.
To avoid spillage of fuel and oil do not tilt the unit,
as spilled fuel may ignite.
The handle may be folded for convenience. Remove the grass
catcher (if fitted), loosen the handle locking screws and fold the
handle forward, as shown below.
Take care not to damage the cables when folding the handle bar.
Storage
Use the following procedures if mower is to be stored for an extended period (3 mths or more).
Draining the fuel tank and carburettor
1. Remove the carburettor bowl drain bolt and washer with a
10mm wrench, and drain the carburettor bowl fuel into an
approved fuel container.
2. Do not force the carburettor bowl off the carburettor body.
3. Move the fuel tap to the ON position. This will allow the fuel tank to drain through the
carburettor bowl.
4. After draining carburettor and fuel tank, install the
drain bolt and washer and tighten securely. Be
sure the carburettor bowl is firmly seated against
the carburettor body before tightening the drain
bolt.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive and you can be burned
or seriously injured when handling fuel.
TO AVOID INJURY:

Stop engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.
•
Handle fuel only outdoors.
•
Wipe up spills immediately.
