the machine.
The symbols mean:

Safety Manual before using the machine.

the cover of the machine when it is
running.

ASSEMBLING
EJECTION SHIELD
Under no condition must the machine be
started without the ejection shield being
fitted on the machine. If it is not fitted,
stones and other flying objects may easily
be ejected by the rotating blade.
The parts for assembly of the ejector shield are
attached to the packaging. Remove the parts and
assemble the ejector shield according to fig. l.
Tighten the screws securely.
HANDLEBAR
Hinge up the lower part of the handlebar.
The components for assembling the upper section
of the steering are fitted for packing purposes.
Remove the components from the lower section of
the steering.
Then attach the upper part of the handlebar with
screws, washers and locking knobs (fig. 2).
The handlebar has four different positions. Release
the catch with the foot and move the handlebar to
the desired position (fig. 3).
1. For normal mowing.
2. For mowing under trees, shrubs etc.
3. Parking position.
4. Transportation and storage position. The
handlebar takes up less room if the locking
knobs are loosened and the handlebar folded in.
CABLE HOLDER
Put the wires into the cable holder (fig. 4).
EYELET FOR STARTER HANDLE
Attach the starter handle to the eyelet on the
steering handle (fig. 5).
USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without any
oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must, therefore, be filled with
oil before the engine is started the first
time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6).
Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good
quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE
30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the
dipstick. Stand the lawn mower on a level surface.
Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 6). Slide it down
completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up
again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with oil
up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Fill with petrol before starting the motor.
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the motor is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the fuel tank. Allow a little
room for the petrol to expand if necessary.
Some engines have an extra safety cover under the
regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.
