BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 10). Fill the engine’s
crankcase with approx. 0.55 litres of good quality
oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or
SAE 10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick.
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 10). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull
it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level is
low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the engine is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al-
low a little room for the petrol to expand
if necessary.
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-
tion that is less harmful to people and nature. It has
e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols
and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
NOTE! If you change to environmental-
ly friendly petrol in an engine previously
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),
the petrol manufacturer’s recommen-
dations must be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 11).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer
3 times.
4. Press in the Start/Stop loop G towards the han-
dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loop G must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
12).
5 Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
For ease of starting, press down the handle so
that the front wheels lift slightly from the
ground. Do not start in thick grass.
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-
tating blade(s). Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is run-
ning.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.
This can cause burn injuries.
1. Release the Start/Stop loop G (fig. 12) to stop
the engine. This loop must not be disengaged
(e.g. by setting it in the depressed position
against the handle), as it will not be possible to
stop the engine.
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug.
If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop
the engine by removing the spark plug
cable from the spark plug. Immediately
take the lawn mower to an authorised
workshop for repair.
CLUTCH LOOP
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I to-
wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing
the clutch loop
I (fig. 12).
