Engine information

Refer to the separate Engine Manufacturer's Owners'
Manual (supplied with every rotary mower) that
accompanies this booklet and carry out all of the safety
checks before proceeding with the commissioning of
the mower.
Engines fitted to rotary mowers
are shipped without oil. Check the
Engine Manufacturer's manual for
oil grade details.
Before you use your lawnmower, every four stroke
will require approximately 600 ml of engine oil in the
sump. With the lawnmower in a level position,
1 Remove the oil dipstick.
2 Wipe the dipstick clean.
3 Fill to the full mark, pouring slowly - DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then screw the dipstick securely back
into place.
Note that if the engine is overfilled, it will smoke
excessively or appear to be seized.

Commissioning the Mower

Petrol vapour is highly flammable.
Handle with extreme care.
Store in approved containers.
Your engine will run best on fresh, clean unleaded
petrol (91 octane). Use of unleaded fuel results in
fewer combustion deposits, burns cleaner and gives
longer valve life.
Do not over-fill the petrol tank to allow for fuel
expansion. It is recommended that approximately
5mm to 10mm of tank space is left for this.
When handling fuel:
Do not fill tank when the engine is running.
•
Do not smoke or expose naked flame.
•
Do fill the tank in open, well-ventilated area.
•
Do wipe away any spills.
•
Do move the mower away from any petrol fumes
•
before starting the engine.
