m
CAUTION!
The engine does not come with oil in it. There-
fore, ensure that you add 0,45 liters of oil before
starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30).
The oil level in the engine must be checked each
time before mowing.
You will also need to fill in petrol, as this is also
not supplied upon delivery.

control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.

Press the engine brake lever (3) together and give
the starter cord (17) a vigorous pull. (Fig. 14)

this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
