Delivery Checklist Remove the mower from the packaging and check that the following items have been supplied correctly. If any items are missing contact, your local Hayter dealer. 1. Engine Handbook. 2. Grassbag. To prevent accidents cut off the long ribbon attached to the grass- bag and discard.
BEFORE STARTING MOWER Prevent Engine Damage To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine. Oil Type Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oil.
OPERATING THE MOWER Controls Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables move freely. Check that the cutterblade stop and ground drive clutch levers return freely to their rest position when released. Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance should be felt when moving the lever to the ‘choke’...
OPERATING MOWER Step 3 Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the ‘fast’ position after starting a cold engine. To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the engine is running. Engaging Cutterblade Drive Always make sure the stop lever is fully forward.
OPERATING THE MOWER Forward Travel Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive clutch lever to power the mower in a forward direction. When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower may be pushed. This feature is useful when mowing in confined areas. 1CG480V01B Ground speed may be adjusted by operating the speed variator control.
OPERATING MOWER Stopping Release both ground drive clutch lever and the cutterblade stop lever. Pull the throttle lever to the rear most position. Emergency stop If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug lead. STOP CS146 Slopes To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees.
OPERATING THE MOWER Before Mowing To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and remove all objects which when contacted by the mower cut- terblade could become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety or result in damage to the mower.
OPERATING MOWER Heavy Growth Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clippings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted.
LAWN CARE CALENDAR To be used as a guide only. January There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged. February Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.
LAWN CARE CALENDAR August Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weath- er conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture. September Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the roots from the winter frost and snow.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service will be required if working for prolonged periods under dusty, dry conditions, or when airborne debris is present or after extensive operation cutting tall, dry grass.

Refer to-‘Before Starting the Mower’ for oil checking and filling instructions. Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation and thereafter according to the ‘Maintenance Schedule’:- 1.

MOWER MAINTENANCE Clutch Cable Adjustment Continued Fig. 2 3. If the distance between the clutch lever and handlebar is less than 60mm regulate the engagement position with the black plastic cable adjuster. Refer to Fig 1 and Fig 2 to regain the 60mm distance.
DO NOT rotate tools towards the cut- ting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement parts. The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cut- terblade is not bent or cracked.
MOWER MAINTENANCE Cutterblade Sharpening A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges 30-45 must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require. Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and water.
MOWER MAINTENANCE Storage To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficient- ly to allow it to be pivoted forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through contact with the engine.
