Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely move the product away from the fuelling area before starting Do not mow whilst people especially children or pets are in the mowing area Do not put hands or feet near a rotating blade. Disconnect the spark plug before attempting any maintenance, cleaning or adjustment, or if you are going to leave the lawnmower unattended for any period. Wait until all machine components have completely stopped before touching them. [. . . ] Move the axles between the notches to achieve the desired cutting height. Add oil as necessary to keep the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Change oil after the first 2 hours of operation and then after every 25 working hours. Always change the oil while the engine is warm but not hot - never attempt any maintenance on a hot engine. NEVER USE LEADED PETROL Using leaded petrol will make the exhaust smoke and cause irreparable damage to engines fitted with a catalytic converter. To avoid introducing dirt into the fuel system, wipe all grass and dirt from the petrol filler cap before unscrewing it. It is recommended that you fill the tank through a funnel with a filter. Starting the cold engine Push primer bulb firmly 3 times before starting cold engine. (Also, if the engine has stopped because it has ran out of fuel, refuel engine and push primer 3 times). Starting the warm engine NOTE: Priming is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine. However, cool weather (550F/130C or below) may require priming to be repeated. Pull the Operator Presence Control all the way to the upper handle before you start the engine. Due to engine lubrication limitations, the mower should not be used on slopes in excess of 300. Before mowing objects such as twigs, toys and stones should be removed from the lawn. (K) Avoid running the blade over foreign objects such as stones, roots, etc. Never cut more than 1/3 of the length of the grass, especially during dry periods. Always remove the spark plug lead before repair, cleaning or maintenance work. All nuts, bolts and screws should be checked for tightness after 5 hours use. Push the handle down to ground level when tilting the mower for cleaning purposes. USE GLOVES Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. When reassembling the blade ensure that the retaining washer is flat and not dished, tighten the bolt to a torque of 35-40 Nm. Remove the blade to gain access to the oil drain plug, open the drain plug underneath the mower and let the oil run out.
