DO NOT START your four-stroke engine before making sure that it has been
filled with the right amount of the correct grade of oil.
Four stroke (cycle) engines are shipped without oil. Place the mower on a level position, unscrew the
'OIL FILL' cap and slowly pour oil provided into the sump. Fill to the full mark on the dipstick. The
capacity is approximately 500ml. When checking the oil level, and before running the engine, screw
the dipstick firmly in place.

FUEL
Petrol vapour is highly flammable and explosive. Handle with extreme care.
Store in an approved container. Do not fill tank when engine is running or is
still hot. Do not allow open flame, matches or smoking nearby. Fill tank
outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Wipe away any spills and move the mower
away from any petrol fumes before starting engine.
When filling the fuel tank, always leave an air space of about 5mm to allow for
expansion of the fuel.
USE ONLY CLEAN FRESH PETROL AT ALL TIMES, preferably unleaded, with an octane rating of at
least 91. Four stroke (cycle) engines use straight fuel.

FUEL FILLING

1. Position the mower on a level surface in a well-ventilated area.
2. Clean around the fuel tank.
3. Remove the fuel tank cap.
4. Place a clean funnel in the fuel filler.
5. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol, allowing room in tank for fuel expansion.
6. Replace the fuel tank cap.

ENGINE.
Regular attention to a few simple items will ensure long and trouble-free service from your mower.
Carry out the regular maintenance described in the manual, and check the engine mounting bolts
regularly to be sure they are tight.
Before making any adjustments to your mower make sure that the engine is
turned off and that the blade has STOPPED ROTATING. Always disconnect
the spark plug wire and make sure it cannot accidentally contact the spark
plug before touching anything under the mower housing.
