of objects being flung out.

IMPORTANT
Certain sections apply to only one or a few of the
models. Where this is the case, the name of the
model appears at the start of the section.
Certain models do not have throttle control. The
engine’s speed is set for optimal function and min-
imal exhaust emissions.

USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 7-9). Fill the engine’s
crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality oil (serv-
ice class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-
30 oil.
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick. The mower should stand level.
Briggs Stratton:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 7). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it
up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level is low,
fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
Honda:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 8, 9). Insert
the dipstick fully, but do not screw it into the
thread. Pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the
oil level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’
mark.
