Fuelling; Adjusting The Cutting Height - ALDI 59085 User Manual

Preparing for Operation
1. Position the lawn mower on a flat and level
surface. Clean the area directly around the oil
filler cap (24).
2. Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick (24) by turning
approximately a quarter turn in an anti clockwise
direction and lift the cap outwards. Clean the oil
dipstick (24) with a clean cloth, cleaning away
any visual oil (Fig U).
3. FOR A NEW LAWN MOWER, add 560ml of
4 stroke SAE 10W/30 engine oil.
4. Insert the oil dipstick back and secure the oil
filler cap (24) by turning approximately a quarter
turn in a clockwise direction.
5. Again remove the oil dipstick (24) and check the
oil level. It should be at the top of the full
(H marking) indicator on the dipstick (Fig V).
6. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill. Do not overfill. After adding
oil, wait one minute and then recheck the oil level.
7. Replace and tighten the oil filler cap / dipstick (24). Always ensure the oil
filler cap is firmly locked in place before the engine is started.
NOTE: Do not allow engine to run low on oil as it will reduce the life of the
engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill with oil above the full indicator mark.

Fuelling

IMPORTANT: Fuel goes off after about 3-4 months. If you find your
lawn mower does not start, first change the fuel in the tank with newly
purchased fresh unleaded fuel. Do not use ethanol based fuels.
WARNING. Do not refill fuel tank while engine is running or is hot.
• Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into the fuel.
• Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
• Ensure you DO NOT fuel the lawn mower in close proximity to any open
flames, lit cigarettes, or hot objects.
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (26) and pour fresh
unleaded fuel into the tank with the aid of a
funnel. (Fig W )
2. Fill the tank to approximately 2.5 cm below the
lowest portion of the neck to allow for fuel
expansion. Be careful not to overfill or spill any
fuel. If this happens, wipe the spill with a
clean rag.
3. Start the engine at least 3 metres away from the area where the fuel tank
has been filled in order to avoid the risk of fire.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

The mower has one lever to easily adjust the
cutting height. There are 8 height settings.
NOTE: Always try to adjust the cutting height of
the lawn mower while positioned on the area of
grass you plan to mow.
It is recommended to start on a higher setting and
mow a trial area of lawn before deciding on the
final cutting height position. Then readjust if
necessary.
1. To increase the cutting height pull the height
adjustment lever (18) outward towards the
wheel, and move it up a notch, towards the rear
of the lawn mower. (Fig X)
2. To decrease the cutting height pull the height
adjustment lever (18) outward towards the wheel,
and move it down a notch, towards the engine. (Fig Y)
3. After adjustment, ensure the lever is fully located in the selected notch.
