BATTERY (*)
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and corrosive. It can cause serious
corrosion damage etc. Avoid all contact
with skin, eyes and clothing.
Before starting for the first time, the battery should
be charged for 24 hours, see further information un-
der the heading MAINTENANCE, BATTERY.
Insert ignition key (*) into the ignition lock.
USING THE MOWER
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec-
tor. Empty the grass onto the compost heap or
spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machine is
also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 13, 14). Fill the en-
gine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality oil
(service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick.
Briggs Stratton:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 13). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it
up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level is low,
fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
Honda:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 14). Insert
the dipstick fully, but do not screw it into the
thread. Pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the
oil level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’
mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the engine is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank.
Allow a little room for the petrol to
expand if necessary.
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-
tion that is less harmful to people and nature. It has
e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols
and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
NOTE! If you change to
environmentally friendly petrol in an
engine previously run on ordinary lead-
free petrol (95), the petrol
manufacturer’s recommendations must
be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-
free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more
petrol than can be used within thirty days.
STARTING THE MOTOR
(Briggs & Stratton)
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 15).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of fuel, refill and press down the primer 3
times.
5. Press the OPC lever G towards the handle.
NOTE! The OPC lever G must be kept pressed
in to prevent the engine stopping (fig. 16).
6a Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and start
the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.
6b Electric start (*): Start the engine by turning the
ignition key clockwise. Release the key as soon
as the engine starts. Always make short
attempts at starting in order to prevent
discharging the battery.
