Cut the grass evenly and systematically. To activate
the mower drive function for automatic drive,
press the clutch handle all the way in towards the
handlebar. The mower will move forward until you
release the clutch handle. Always release the clutch
handle when turning or stopping the mower.
If you release the cut-out handle, the motor will
stop immediately.
Tip:
Always ensure you can see what you are doing.
Never cut the grass in the dark or poor visibility
and take extra care around house corners.
Always cut across the face of slopes, never up and
down. Be careful when changing direction on
slopes.
Be very careful when clipping near walls, thick
branches, wire fencing or other obstructions.
Stopping the motor:
Set throttle handle in off position, and release
cut-out handle.
Follow the instructions for maintenance under
Cleaning and Maintenance.
Transport and storage
Stop the blade before running the mower over
gravel, asphalt or the like.
Empty the fuel tank and start the motor to remove
all fuel in the motor.
Take the spark plug out when the engine has run
dry and cooled off. Pour a little motor oil into the
spark plug hole and replace the spark plug.
Clean the mower, and store in a clean, dry and
dust-free place.
Cleaning and maintenance
Engine oil:
Fill and change the oil as required. (See Filling Oil
During Use).
Air cleaner:
Clean the air filter regularly (after every 25 hours
of use). Remove air filter cover (9). Clean the filter
element by washing it in warm water with a little
detergent. Allow to dry completely before replacing.
Wipe the inside of the filter cover with a damp
cloth.
Spark plug:
If the plug is very sooty, clean or replace. Never
remove the spark plug from the motor if the
motor is warm as it can damage the thread.
Cleaning:
Wipe all parts of the mower with a damp cloth.
Lubricate moving parts with oil.
Remove the spark plug cable and prop one side
of the mower up. Scrape the underside of the skirt
(10) to remove accumulated grass and dirt with
a wooden or plastic scraper.
Removing the blade:
Remove the spark plug cable and prop one side of
the mower up. Slacken the bolt (m) and washer (l)
retaining the blade (k) and adapter (j) on the drive
shaft and remove the blade. Caution: The blade
can be sharp!
Sharpen or replace the blade when it is worn.
Ensure the blade is sharpened evenly on both
sides. Replace the adapter and blade in reverse
order and check the blade is secure.
