WARNING!
-
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where the engine is refueled or where petrol is stored. Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with skin or inhalation of vapour.
CAUTION!
-
Petrol is highly flammable and extreme precaution must be taken when handling or working with
it. Keep out of reach of children.
1 Clean the area around the petrol filler cap before removing the cap. Remove the warning tag, check
the fuel level.
2 Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol.
3 Refuel carefully to avoid overfilling or spilling fuel to allow for expansion. There should be no fuel in
the filler neck.
4 Clean up any overflow or splashes of petrol before starting the engine.
5 Tighten the filler cap after filling, finger tight only.
NOTE!
The Qualcast 51cm Self Drive Lawnmower has a maximum fuel capacity of 800ml.
WARNING!
- The blade can cause serious injury. Before adjusting the mower height, stop the engine and wait
for the mower blade to stop completely.
Step 2 - Starting the Engine
WARNING!
- Do not operate the machine in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas as the exhaust gas contains
toxic substances. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all the moving parts of the
machine. The exhaust and other parts of the machine will become hot during use. Make sure that
the blade is securely fastened before starting the engine.
1 Pull the lever towards the wheel, then move it forward or backward to adjust the cutting height.
2 Move it to any one of the 7 positions for the desired cutting height.
3 Return lever into securing plate.
NOTE!
Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions.
Only about one thirds of the grass height should be cut.
