6. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the spanner to compress the washer.
How to Service the Air Filter
As shown in Fig 15
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor. If the air contains
a lot of dust , the air filter should be checked more frequently.
WARNING! Never run the engine withoutthe air filter element installed.
1. Remove the air cleaner outside cover (A).
2. Be careful to prevent dirt and debris from falling into the air cleaner assembly.
3. Separate the Air Filter (A) from the Air Filter Housing (B).
4. Inspect the air filter. Clean dirty air filter with warm water and mild soap. Allow air filter to dry
thoroughly before re-installation
5. Install the air filter assembly onto the carburetor and secure with screw.
NOTE: Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the filter.
Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents will dissolve the filter.
Changing the engine oil
Tilt the Gasoline Lawnmower towards the oil filler, have a container ready to catch the oil and
remove the dipstick. once the oil has been emptied, replace the dipstick and wipe clean any spilla-
ges. Refill with 500ml SAE30 oil or equivalent i.e.
SAE5W/30, SAE10W/30. When the dipstick is rested on the filler pipe (i.e. not turn in pace), the oil
level must be between the min and max marks on the dipstick.
See “Checking the engine oil level and filling with engine oil”.
Start the engine and allow it to run briefly.
Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level top up if necessary.
Note! see more in engine manual.
Replacing the blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorised service workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be
inspected once a year.
WARNING! Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade
stops completely.
WARNING! You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to
remove the blade.
NOTE! Don’t invert the mower. Tip it slightly towards the oil filler pipe and reach under the deck.
WARNING! Always handle the blade with care, sharp edges could cause injury USE GLOVES. Renew
your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2 years whichever is sooner regardless of condition.
WARNING! If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.
WARNING! Don’t hold the blade by hand directly.
NOTE! Maintain the sharpness of the blade when cutting grass. If the blade has worn excessively
and become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or sharpened. The sharpness of the blade will
affect the performance of the lawnmower.
