Cable Adjustment
The following cables may be necessary to re-adjust:
1. Cable for drive
2. Cable for engine brake
3. Cable for throttle cable
Adjusting the drive cable:
If you experience slack in the drive cable, this can be
solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the cable.
1. Tighten turning clockwise - loosen the cable.
2. Tighten turning anti clockwise - tighten the
cable.
Adjusting the engine brake cable:
If you experience slack in engine brake cable, this can
be solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the
engine block.
Adjusting the throttle cable *:
If you experience slack in revolution cable, this can be
solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the
engine block.
*Note: Not all models have throttle control
Operation
Always check and refill oil before the start!
Read and apply the instructions given in the
enclosed start guide!
The oil level should always be between min. and max
on the dipstick. Fill with SAE-30 oil. There should be
total 0.6 liter oil in the engine. Use only unleaded 95
octane fuel to the engine. Never overfill the tank.
Cutting height adjustment:
The mower has 7 different heights. The cutting height
ranges from 25 mm to 75 mm
Start:
Never start the mower directly on long grass.
Recoil with primer, illustration 8
1.
Move the throttle lever to full “Rabbit”, if the
model has throttle control.
2. Push the primer (A) several times, first time
push 1-3 times, if necessary supplement with
up to 3-5 times.
Note: It is not possible to drown engine
3. Hold the handlebar for the engine brake (B);
this will release the engine brake.
4. Pull the recoil starter gently until you feel
resistance in the rope, then pull quickly and
energetic. Do not at any time let go of the
recoil starter but slide it gently into starting
position.
5. Adjust the throttle lever if necessary, if the
model has throttle control.
6. Hold the bar for self-propelled (C) in order to
start mowing*.
*Note: Not all models have self-propelled function
Throttle control *
Engine speed can be adjusted while driving. Push
throttle handle to adjust rpm. It is recommended to run
at full throttle for best cutting result.
* Note: Not all models have throttle control
Regulation of speed *
Speed can be adjusted from 2.9 - 4.3 km/h while
driving. Activate the right handle and select the prefered
speed.
* Note: Not all models have speed lever
Stop: Illustration 8
1. Release the engine brake (B) and self-
propelled handle (C) to turn off the mower and
the engine
Note: The blades will still rotate at up to 3 seconds
after stopping.
Water nozzle
The left side of the mower deck is fitted with a water
nozzle for washing the deck. See Illustration 9.
Attach a hose to the nozzle.
Turn on the water and start the engine.
The rotations of the blades will ensure that the
water will clean the underside of the deck.
Note:
For best result clean the deck with the water
nozzle function right after each mowing. If the grass
dries out, this function will not work optimally.
Oil change
Oil should be changed for the first time after 2 hours,
then at least 1 time per year.
You will need an oil extractor kit.
Tex Parts: 40-11336
Oil and oil extractor kit are not included
Oil extractor kit - Illustration 12
Use an extractor kit and do as follows:
1. Turn on the engine and let it run for 5 min or
until the engine is hot. A hot engine liquefies
the oil which makes it easier to drain.
2. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using
the syringe that came with the oil extractor kit.
Use the hose to reach the sump.
3. Transfer the used oil into a empty container.
4. Fill the engine with SAE-30 oil.
5. Check the oil level using the dipstick. (Min /
Max)
Remember to dispose the used oil so that it does
no harm to nature.Use your local recycling station.
