OPERATION

Filling with engine oil

IMPORTANT!

 The following procedures and adjustments must be performed before 

the engine is started. Do not attempt to make any of these adjustments while the 
engine is running.

This engine is shipped without oil or petrol, any oil residue is from testing prior to shipping. 
The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine. 
Running the engine with a low oil level will cause irreparable engine damage. 
Always use high-quality engine oil classified SAE 30 oil (or equivalent, e.g. 5W 30, often 
termed as 4-stroke lawnmower oil). Only use additives recommended by the engine 
manufacturer. To prolong the life of your engine, it is important that the oil is changed after the 
first 5 hours of use.

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on a level surface. 

1.  Remove the oil filler dipstick and wipe oil from it with a clean cloth. 
2.  Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck and screw it in. 
3.  Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level must be between the min. 

and max. marks on the dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to the upper level with the 
recommended oil (SAE 30 or equivalent). Do not overfill. Wipe away any spilt oil. 

(Fig. J )

4.  Before using for the first time, add 0.5 litres of oil (SAE 30). 

Filling with engine fuel (Fig. K)

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 caution 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. Check the fuel level. 
2.  Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. 
3.  Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol and purchase fuel in quantities that can be used 

within 30 days. 

Never mix oil with petrol. 
To allow for expansion, carefully refuel and avoid overfilling or spillage. There should be no 
fuel in the filler neck. 
Clean up any overflow or splashes of petrol before starting the engine. 
Ensure filler cap is secure after filling.
