BEFORE STARTING
This machine is not 2 stroke - fuel & oil must
not
be mixed.
This lawn mower is fitted with a air cooled 4 stroke petrol engine.
Engine oil should be a high grade ISO VG 100 (SAE 30/10W-40).
Important:
The engine is supplied without any oil and must be filled
before attempting to start. Failure to do so may result in permanent
engine damage, which will not be covered under warranty.
Remove the oil tank cap with integral dipstick. Fill the oil tank with
the aid of a funnel. Replace the oil tank cap (the cap must be fully
tightened to register the correct level). Top up accordingly until the
max. level is achieved.
Warning:
Do not overfill. Doing so may cause the engine not to
start or cause damage.
Note:
Ensure you clean up any spilt oil.
Use only fresh, clean, good quality unleaded fuel.
Warning:
Never refuel In close proximity to naked flames, sparks or
sources of ignition e.g. cigarettes.
Remove fuel filling cap and fill with fresh clean unleaded fuel. Fill so
the level of the fuel comes to approximately 1 inch (2.5cm) below
the lowest part of the tank neck; this allows for any fuel expansion.
A semi-synthetic oil is recommended for this product. (
Fig.17
).
WARNING:
Never fill fuel tank indoors, with engine running or until
the engine has been allowed to cool for a least 15 minutes after
running.

THROTTLE CONTROL
The rear throttle position also activates the choke function to
aid in starting the engine when cold. When warmed up, the
throttle can be moved forwards to remove choke and also
increase engine blade speed. (
Fig.19
).
