FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Fill with petrol before starting the mo-
tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill
with petrol while the motor is running
or still warm.
Never completely fill the fuel tank. Al-
low 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 a motor previously run on ordinary lead-
free petrol (95), the petrol manufacturer's recom-
mendations 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 lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.

STARTING THE ENGINE

(Briggs & Stratton)
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. If the lawnmower is equipped with throttle con-
trol, set the throttle control B to full throttle
(fig. 8).
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 9).
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 in the Start/Stop loop G towards the han-
dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loop G must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
8).
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
7. For the best cutting results the engine should al-
ways be driven at full throttle.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.
This can cause burn injuries.

setting it in the depressed position against the
handle), as it will not be possible to stop the en-
gine.
