HOW TO GET MOWING
Your Mountfield lawnmower does not contain petrol or oil and these must be added before use.
Running the mower with
insufficient oil can cause serious damage to the engine and will invalidate your warranty.
NEVER TIP THE MOWER ON ITS SIDE AS THIS WILL FLOOD THE AIR FILTER WITH OIL.
To access the underside, lift the front wheels by lowering the handle until it rests on the ground.
Carefully remove the mower from the carton and read these Operating Instructions. An Owner's Manual for the
engine is also included, please read this before starting the engine.
1. FINISH ASSEMBLY

of the handle (3) using the nuts and bolts (4) provided, ensuring that
the spiral (5) of the starter cable is positioned correctly.
On some models:
