Page 13: Before Starting The Engine
STARTING MOWER BEFORE Prevent Engine Damage To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol.

Never use additives with recommended oil.
Page 14: 1.17 Operating The Mower
OPERATING THE MOWER Controls Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers return freely to their rest position when released. Starting - Step 1 Operate the primer bulb: Note: Push on the primer bulb 5 times at two second intervals to provide the extra fuel to start the engine after assembling the mower for the first time.
Page 15: Forward Travel
OPERATING 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. If the engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.
Page 16: Height Of Cut
OPERATING THE MOWER Height of Cut Grip the lever and pull sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to higher or pull backwards to lower the height of cut. Finally release the lever at the required position and ensure it locks firmly into one of the eight notch settings.
Page 17: Mulching Tips
OPERATING MOWER Mulching Tips Mulching finely cuts the grass so that it can be easily recycled. Due to nutrients that this returns to the soil, the lawn will require less fertiliz- er. To correctly mulch the lawn, follow the tips below. - The grass must be dry.
Page 18: Without Grass Collection
OPERATING THE MOWER Without Grass Collection Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position. CS086 Heavy Growth Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip- pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grass- bag at the maximum height of cut setting.
Page 19: Lawn Care Calendar
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.
Page 20 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.
