Refer to the instruction below which is specific to your particular model. • Tighten the handle knobs to secure the upper handle to the lower handle. • Flip the handle toggles to secure the upper handle to the lower handle. When folding or unfolding the handles, ensure that the starter switch lead is not caught or stretched (Keystart models only). Handle assembly parts (only on self assembled handle) Silver saddle plates Must be fitted underside of mower Black painted saddle plates Must be above handle tube Cable tie Throttle control bolt, washer & nut Upper handle Lower handles 2 Handle knobs 4 Bolts 2 Nuts Your lawnmower should include a kit with the following parts. Always use the following safety equipment when working with your lawnmower: • A set of ear muffs. • A pair of protective gloves. • A pair of safety boots. • Eye protection. Transporting the mower • Turn the engine off, by moving the throttle lever to the 'STOP' position. • Disconnect the spark plug lead and wedge it between the cylinder head fins. • Do not transport the mower with fuel in the fuel tank. Before using the mower • 600 ML OF SAE 30 OIL MUST BE PLACED IN ENGINE SUMP BEFORE STARTING ENGINE. • Wear the required safety equipment, as in Personal Safety Equipment as described above. • Do not start the mower until you have studied the instruction manual. • Know the mower controls. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency by moving the throttle to the 'STOP' position. • Before using the mower, ensure that the blade assembly is not worn or damaged. Always replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve correct balance. Damaged or worn blades and bolts are major hazards. Use genuine spare parts only. • Please note blades are tucked under blade disc for safety and transport reasons before first use. Once the engine is started they will relocate themselves for cutting. • Check all fasteners regularly. Always ensure the mower is in safe operating condition. • Check for grass build up around the engine and muffler which may cause overheating and/or a fire hazard. • Do not start the engine unless the rear flap and/or grasscatcher are securely in position. Operating the mower • Do not mow while people or pets are in the vicinity of the mower or within the mowing area. Ensure that bystanders are a minimum of 15 metres away. • Do not mow bare foot or with open shoes. Wear long trousers, heavy footwear, eye and ear protection. • Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris before mowing. These could be thrown by the blades and cause injury or damage. • Mow only in good daylight. • Start the engine carefully with feet well clear of blades. Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine. • Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment. • Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. • Do not over speed the engine or alter the governor settings. Excessive engine speed is dangerous and shortens mower life. • Never lift, carry or tilt the mower when the engine is running. 3 Personal Safety Equipment Safety Instructions SAFETY & HANDLING • Stop the engine before pushing the mower across gravel, paths or roads. Stop the engine before the mower leaves the lawn. • Stop the engine before adjusting the cutting height. • Mow across the face of a slope, never up or down. Use extreme caution when changing direction on a slope. Do not mow on excessively steep slopes. • Never mow by pulling the mower towards you. You could slip and pull the mower on top of your feet. • Walk with the mower, never run. • The safety distance determined by the guiding handles must be maintained at all times. • At the conclusion of mowing, always turn the mower off using the throttle lever. Maintaining the mower • If the mower begins to vibrate abnormally, or if it strikes a foreign object - STOP the engine, disconnect the spark plug lead from the spark plug and wedge it between the cylinder fins. Inspect the mower and blades for any damage. • Replace worn or faulty mufflers as they adversely affect engine performance and increase emissions. • Store the mower in a well ventilated area, away from any naked flames such as those found in hot water heaters. Refuelling the mower • Refuel the mower outdoors only. • Do not smoke when refuelling the engine. Never add fuel or remove the fuel cap while the engine is running or hot. If fuel is spilt, do not start the engine. Move the mower away from the area of the spill. Do not create any source of ignition until fuel vapours have dissipated. • Store fuel in a cool place and in a container specifically designed for the purpose. In general, plastic containers are unsuitable. 4 Safety Instructions SAFETY & HANDLING 5 Cleaning . n o i t i s o p ' P O T S ' e h t n i s i r e v e l e l t t o r h t e h t e r u s n e , r e w o m e h t g n i n a e l c e r o f e B Disconnect the spark plug lead and wedge it between the cylinder fins. • Remove grass build up from the air intakes on the top of the engine cowl, around the engine and carburetor, and around the air filter body. • The underside of the mower should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grass build up, as any build up will adversely affect grass catching and mulching performance and can promote corrosion. • When cleaning the underside of the mower, always tilt handle back to ground level so the front wheels are off the ground and spark plug is pointing to the sky. Tilting in other directions can cause the oil to contaminate the fuel. • A hose may be used on the underside of your mower ONLY. Care must be taken to NOT get water into the engine, as it may damage the magneto or get into the fuel system. y l e t a i d e m m i d e n a e l c e b d l u o h s r e w o m r u o y f o e d i s r e d n u e h t , n o i s o r r o c e t a l p e s a b t n e v e r p o T • after mowing an area which has been recently dressed with sulphate of ammonia or fertiliser. . g n i r o t s e r o f e b e r u t s i o m s s e c x e f f o y r d o t y l f e i r b e n i g n e e h t n u r , g n i n a e l c r e t f A • Worn and damaged blades are major hazards. • Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before fitting new blades. • Work from the catcher flap.
