Safety Instructions Commissioning the Mower
Preparation
15 Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,
bones and any other foreign objects.
16 When mowing on slopes, only mow across the
face, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. Do not attempt to mow
excessively steep gradients. A 15° incline is the
maximum recommended.
Operation
17 General
• Check that the lawnmower is in good working
order before using.
• Do not adjust throttle or governor settings,
as this will have a detrimental effect on the
mowers cutting ability and ultimately shorten
the lawnmower’s working life.
18 Lawnmower Body
• Visually inspect to see that the cutting blade(s),
blade bolts and cutting disc are not worn or
damaged.
• Regularly check that all nuts, bolts, linkages and
connections are tight and secure.
• Repair or replace excessively worn or damaged
components with genuine LawnMaster
Dual-Drive Spare Parts only.
19 Fuel
• Add fuel before you start mowing.
• Refuel and lubricate outdoors only.
• Only remove the fuel cap or add fuel while the
engine is stopped.
• Thoroughly clean any fuel spillages before
starting the engine.
• After refuelling or topping up with engine oil,
ensure that the filler caps are replaced securely.
• Store fuel in a cool place away from direct
sunlight in a suitable container.
20 Engine, Drive & Blade
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug
before attempting to:
-
Clean the mower.
-
Un-block the cutting mechanisms.
-
Carry out maintenance or repairs.
-
Inspect the mower if abnormal vibrations occur
or after striking a foreign object.
- Replace worn or faulty silencers.
- Disengage the drive to the cutting reel when
transporting or not in use.
Open the carton and remove the lawnmower and
its accessories…and you will find:
•
1 x Dual-Drive Reel Mower.
• 1 x Grass catcher.
• 1 x Owner’s manual.
• 1 x Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s manual.
Take precautions when doing this to ensure that you
do not put undue stress on your back when lifting
from the carton. It is recommended that two people
lift out the mower to prevent injury or use a suitable
hoist, if available.
Engine information
Refer to the separate Engine Manufacturer’s Owners’
Manual (supplied with every reel mower) that
accompanies this booklet and carry out all of the safety
checks before proceeding with the
commissioning of the mower.
Before you use your lawnmower, every four stroke
will require approximately 600 ml of engine oil in the
sump. With the lawnmower in a level position,
1 Remove the filler cap/oil dipstick.
2 Wipe the dipstick clean.
3 Fill to the full mark, pouring slowly - DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then screw the filler cap/oil dipstick
securely back into place.
Note that if the engine is overfilled, it will
smoke excessively or appear to be seized.
Engines fitted to reel mowers are
shipped without oil. Check the
Engine Manufacturer’s manual for
oil grade details.
Your engine will run best on fresh, clean unleaded
petrol (91 octane). Use of unleaded fuel results in
fewer combustion deposits, burns cleaner and gives
longer valve life.
Do not over-fill the petrol tank to allow for fuel
expansion. It is recommended that approximately 5mm
to 10mm of tank space is left for this.
When handling fuel:
• Do not fill tank when the engine is running.
• Do not smoke or expose naked flame.
• Do fill the tank in open, well-ventilated area.
• Do wipe away any spills.
• Do move the mower away from any petrol fumes
before starting the engine.
Petrol vapour is highly flammable.
Handle with extreme care.
Store in approved containers.
