Before Starting the Engine

Check the oil
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac tory filled with
oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed. See the
engine manufac turer's instructions for the type of petrol and
oil to use.
1. Make sure the unit is level.
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the engine runs.
2. Check the oil. Follow the procedure in the engine
manufacturer's instructions.
3. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark
on the dipstick. The quantity of oil needed from ADD to
FULL is shown on the dipstick. Do not add too much oil.
Add Petrol
WARNING: Always use a safety petrol container. Do
not smoke when adding petrol to the fuel tank. Do
not add petrol when you are inside an enclosure.
Before you add petrol, stop the engine and let the
engine cool for several minutes.
(Figure 6) Fill the fuel tank (A) to the FULL (B) position
with regular unleaded petrol. Do not use premium unleaded
petrol. Make sure the petrol is fresh and clean. Leaded petrol
will increase deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
How To Start The Engine
WARNING: The electrical system has an operator
presence system that includes a sensor switch for
the seat. These components tell the electrical
system if the operator is sitting on the seat. This
system will stop the engine when the operator
leaves the seat. For your protection, always make
sure this system operates correctly.
NOTE: The engine will not start unless you depress the
clutch/brake pedal and move the blade rotation control to the
DISENGAGE position.

Mowing and Bagging Tips

1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of
the mower housing. See "How To Level The Mower
Housing" in the Maintenance section.
2. For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tyres
have the correct amount of air pressure.
3. Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the
blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause
the ends of the grass to turn brown.
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not
discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before cutting.
6. Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near an
object.
7. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The
result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right
so that the cut grass will dis charge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in
the op posite direction making left turns until fin ished.
9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to de crease the
load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in
the highest position and then lower the mower housing
for the second cut.
10. For better engine performance and an even discharge
of the cut grass, always operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position.
11. When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position and the speed control pedal
pushed 1/3 to 1/2 for ward.
12. After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower
housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower
housing will help pre vent a fire.
