FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Fill with petrol before starting the
motor. Never remove the filler cap or fill
with petrol while the motor is running
or still warm.
Never completely fill the fuel tank. Allow a little
room for the petrol to expand if necessary.
Some engines have an extra safety cover under the
regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a
composition 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
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 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
control, 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
handle. 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
always be driven at full throttle.
Keep hands and feet away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is
running.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

The engine may be very warm
immediately after it is shut off. Do not
touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling
flanges. This can cause burn injuries.
1. Release the Start/Stop-loop G to stop the
engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.
by setting it in the depressed position against
the handle), as it will not be possible to stop the
engine.
Honda: Close the fuel tap.
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug.
If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop
the engine by removing the spark plug
cable from the spark plug. Immediately
take the lawn mower to an authorised
workshop for repair.
