USING THE LAWNMOWER AFTER A STORAGE
PERIOD
1. Remove the spark plug, check that it is clean and that the
electrode gap is correct (
). Pull the starter several
times.
2. We recommend that the spark plug be screwed down as far as
possible by hand until finger tight; then use a plug spanner to
tighten it by an extra 1/8 or 1/4 turn.
3. Check the level and condition of the engine oil (
4. Fill the fuel tank and start the engine.
NOTE :
If the cylinder has been coated with oil, the engine will
smoke on start-up. This is normal.
TRANSPORT
Do not tilt the lawnmower since this may cause fuel or oil
spillage; spilt fuel or even fuel vapours are a fire hazard.
TRANSPORTING THE LAWNMOWER
1. Place the throttle control
lever in “STOP” position and
remove the switch key for
models where fitted.
2. Pull off the spark plug cap.
3. Close the fuel shut-off valve

operation, remove the grass

NOTE :
When folding the
handle, check that the cables
are not knotted, twisted or too
tight.
4. Unscrew the knobs [2], fold
the handle support [4] and
the handle [3]. Re-screw the
two knobs on the handle to
avoid to loose them.
LOADING THE LAWNMOWER
CAUTION:
• To prevent losing control of or damaging the lawnmower, do not
use the drive system when going up or down a loading ramp.
• To prevent damaging the drive system, do not engage the clutch
when the lawnmower is rolling backwards.
• Transport the lawnmower in normal horizontal position with its
four wheels flat on the vehicle platform.
• We recommend that you use a loading ramp or that you get
someone to help you load and unload the lawnmower.
• Adjust the loading ramp so that it is inclined at an angle of less
than 15°.
• When transporting the lawnmower, immobilise it using straps and
place chocks under the wheels.
• The straps must not touch the following parts of the lawnmower:
throttle control lever, cutting-means control lever, fuel tank and all
the control cables.
