Preparing to Operate the Lawnmower
Step 1 - Filling with Engine Oil
IMPORTANT!
- The following procedures and adjustments must be performed before the engine is started. Do not
attempt to make any of these adjustments while the engine is running.
-
Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE30 oil (or equivalent eg 5W 30, often termed
as 4 Stroke lawn mower oil). Only use additives recommended by the engine manufacturer. To
prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use.
Using non-detergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life and using 2-stroke oil will damage
the engine.
-
To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled
with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.
- Running the engine with a low oil level will cause engine
irreparable damage.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on a level surface.
Remove the oil filler dipstick and wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, and screw it in.
Then remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level must be between the Min and Max
marks on the dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to upper level with the recommended oil (SAE30 or
equivalent). Do not overfill. Wipe away any spilt oil.
NOTE!
Your machine doesn’t contain any oil, any traces of oil are a residue of testing.
DO NOT start the engine before putting 500ml of SAE30 in your machine.
