Stop: Illustration F4

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 ID-F)
•
Place the lawn mower on a flat surface that can
tolerate water, and put the height adjustment to
lowest position.
•
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. Art. no. 40-11336
Oil and oil extractor kit is not included
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.
Air Filter
The air filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly.
If the filter has not been cleaned for a long time, the
engine’s power will drop.
See Illustration A2
1. Clean around the air filter before removing the cap.
2. Push the two flaps down and gently pull the cover
3. Carefully remove the paper filter and inspect it.
Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, replace
it. Be careful that no dirt gets into the inlet.
4. Wash the black foam element in the right side in
warm water and soap.
5. Press the water out of the foam element and let it
dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the filter to
moisten it lightly. Carefully squeeze any surplus oil
out of the foam element and reattach.
6. Please note that all parts are assembled correctly
and properly closed, as shown in the picture.
