Storing the lawnmower for short periods
After mowing, please follow the below actions prior to placing the
lawnmower in storage.
■
Allow the engine to fully cool.
■
Ensure the grass bag is empty.
■
Clean all debris from under the mower deck.
■
Store the lawnmower on flat and level surface with all 4
wheels on the ground.
■
Store in a safe place which is not accessible by children or
people who are not familiar with operation.
Storing the lawnmower for extended periods
CauTION!
Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed areas, near fire
or when smoking. Petrol fumes can cause explosions
and fire.
WaRNING!
- Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side,
completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol suction
pump.
- Never turn the mower upside down.
- Before commencing any maintenance always
disconnect the spark plug.
■
If the lawnmower is to be placed into storage at the end of
the season or if the mower is not to be used for a longer
period than 6 weeks, storage maintenance must be
performed on the lawnmower.
■
Temperature fluctuations cause condensation which
contaminates fuel and causes starting problems. Simply
emptying the machine of fuel will prevent this.
■
Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump if available
or use the tipping method if a large quantity of fuel needs to
be removed.
■
To remove smaller quantities of fuel, simply start the engine
and let it run until any remaining petrol has
been used up.
■
Change the oil at the end of every season. To do so, remove
the used engine oil from warm engine and refill with fresh oil.
■
Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head. Fill the
cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an oil can. Slowly pull
back the starter handle, which will cover the cylinder wall
with oil.
■
Screw the spark plug back in.
■
Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
■
Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the paint.
■
Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.

note:
Alternatively adding Briggs & Stratton FUEL FIT to
the fuel will prevent contaminated fuel. Not all additives
on the market do this. FUEL FIT can be ordered via
