To do a check of the oil level on page 12 .
To fill fuel
If available, use low-emission/alkylate gasoline. If low-
emission/alkylate gasoline is not available, use good
quality unleaded gasoline or leaded gasoline with octane
number not less than 90.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline with an
octane number less than 90 RON (87 AKI).
This can cause damage to the product.
1. Open the fuel tank cap slowly to release the
pressure.
2. Fill slowly with a fuel can. If you spill fuel, remove it
with a cloth and let remaining fuel dry off.
3. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.
4. Tighten the fuel tank cap fully. If the fuel tank cap is
not tightened, there is a risk of fire.
5. Move the product a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) from the
position where you filled the tank before a start.
To set the cutting height
1. Move the cutting height lever rearward to increase
the cutting height.
2. Move the cutting height lever forward to decrease
the cutting height.(Fig. 27 )
CAUTION: Do not set the cutting height too
low. The blades can hit the ground if the
surface of the lawn is not level.

Operation

To start the product
1. Make sure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
2. The very first time you start the product, press the
primer bulb 5 times. The next time you start the
product when the engine is cold, press the primer
bulb 3 times.
3. Stay behind the product.
4. Hold the engine brake handle against the handlebar.
(Fig. 28 )
5. Hold the starter rope handle with your right hand.
6. Slowly pull out the starter rope until you feel some
resistance.
7. Pull with force to start the engine.
To use the drive on the wheels
(LC 140S)
• Push the drive bail in the direction of the handlebar.
(Fig. 29 )
• Before you pull the product rearward, disengage the
drive and push the product forward approximately
10cm.
• Release the drive bail to disengage the drive, for
example when you go near an obstacle.
To stop the product
• To stop the drive only, release the drive bail.
• To stop the engine, release the engine brake handle.
To get a good result
• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an
irregular result and the cut surface of the grass
becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less
energy than a blunt blade.
• Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass.
Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the
result and lower the cutting height to an applicable
level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2
times if necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time to prevent
stripes in the lawn.
WARNING: Do not twist the starter rope
around your hand.
