STARTING YOUR MOWER
Read and understand the Safety Precautions before using your mower.
Put Mountfield 4-stroke, or an SAE 10W-30 oil, in the oil filler (Figure 3). Do not overfill, the oil tank capacity is
0,45 litre. Mountfield oil, part number MX855, is available from any Mountfield stockist or B&Q store.
Fill the fuel tank with UNLEADED petrol. Use only clean, fresh petrol - stale fuel may contain deposits that will
clog the carburettor. Do not overfill, the petrol level should be below the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
Ensure that the spark plug lead is securely connected to the spark plug.

AGAINST THE HANDLE
•
Pull the starter cord with a strong smooth pull. Do not remove the pull cord from the guide
•
NOTE:Using the choke is usually unnecessary when starting a warm engine. However, in cool weather it may still
be necessary to use the choke to start the engine.
STOPPING YOUR MOWER
•
Release the Operator Presence Control (OPC) lever; this will engage the engine brake and operate the ignition
safety cut out device.
When the engine starts move the throttle control from “Choke” to the “Fast” position.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF CUT
The height of cut adjustment not only determines the length of the cut grass, it also controls the airflow which car-
ries clippings into the collector. If the discharge chute becomes blocked, increase the airflow by raising the height
of cut. To prevent blockages when cutting long, thick grass, set the adjustment to the
highest setting and cut the grass; then cut it again on a lower setting.
To adjust the height of cut:
stop the engine
put the mower on a level surface
Adjust the cutting height lever by pulling outwards
and moving into the required position (Figure 5)
