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: Illustration 7
The mower has 5 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. Push the primer 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
2. Hold the handlebar for the engine brake; this will
release the engine brake.
3. 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.
4. Hold the bar for self-propelled in order to start
mowing
Warning: Do not use on hills above 22°
Note: As long as operating the mower, the bar
forengine brake must be engaged.
Stop: Illustration 9
1. Release the engine brake and self-propelled bar to
turn off the mower and the engine
Note: The blades will still rotate at up to 3 seconds after
stopping.

Mulching

To get the optimal result from mulching, it is necessary
to cut the grass 1-2 times per week, depending of, how
fast the grass grows. The grass should be completely
dry, or else it can clump and maximum 2-3 cm of the
length should be cut off every time.

Water nozzle

The left side of the mower deck is fitted with a water
nozzle for washing the deck. (See Illustration 1-K)
•
When using the water nozzle, the machine must be
in the lowest height position and placed on the
lawn. This ensures that the water remains under
the deck during cleaning.
•
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 5 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 10
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.

Blade

Inspection of the blade
•
Tilt the mower with the front upwards.
•
Inspect blade for damage, cracks or excessive rust
or corrosion.
•
Check that the blade bolt is tightened.
Note: A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that
is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be
replaced.
Removing the blade: See illustration 11
If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you
must use a torque wrench and some heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
1. Loosen the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to
prevent the blade from turning around.
2. Remove the bolt, washer, blade and blade holder
in that order
3. Sharpen or replace the blade.
4. Insert the blade holder, blade, washer and bolt in
that order.
5. Tighten the blade bolt with 50 Nm. Use a piece of
wood to prevent the blade from turning around.
