Operation
3. To safely operate the mower ensure all four wheels are on the ground and
be careful not to lose your footing or control of the mower. Be very careful
when mowing uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on the handle bar
at all times, always walk, never run with the lawn mower.
4. For healthy growth, grass should not be cut too short. The grass will remain
healthier, greener and require less watering.
5. Vary your cutting pattern from week to week, this will help to prevent
matting and graining of the grass.
6. If using the mulching function, and grass is piling up behind the lawn
mower during the cutting action, lift the lawn mower to the next cutting
height using the height adjustment lever (18).
Engine tipping
NOTE: Always ensure the engine is switched off and
the spark plug cap is removed before undertaking
this task.
When cleaning, or performing any maintenance
such as replacing the blades, it is very important
that the lawn mower is ONLY tipped backwards.
(Fig AH). Failing to do so will result in the engine
damage. Should this occur, the mower should be
taken to a lawn mower repair shop which is not covered under warranty.
Poor engine performance
Should the engine idle or run rough at full speed with excessive bluey/black
smoke emanating from the muffler, it is possible that either the engine was
slightly tipped incorrectly (refer above). If the mower had previously been
tipped, allow the engine to run for a few minutes and the excess oil will
burn out.
If the engine is not running at full speed, check the fuel is fresh, check the oil
level, and also inspect under the deck to ensure there is no build up of grass.
Check the spark plug. If the mower continues to underperform, take the
mower to your nearest an authorised Service Agent.

Operating Functions of the Lawn Mower
Self propelled or manual operation of the lawn mower:
This lawn mower has the option to be manually pushed or engine driven
self propelled when the engine is operating.
1. Manual Operation:
The lawn mower is manually maneuvered
under the user's own power when the mower is
operating. ie the user is pushing the lawn mower
to power its movement forwards or backwards.
To operate this way manually, simply leave
the self propel engage/disengage bar (2) in
its standard position. i.e DO NOT LIFT the self
propel engage/disengage bar (2) towards the
upper handle bar (1). (Fig AI)
2. Self Propelled Operation:
The self propelled operation will only operate when the engine of the
lawn mower is operating, and the self propel engage / disengagement
bar (2) has been activated by lifting it up to the handle bar and holding
in position, hence the mower will move forward itself with the operator
steering and directing from the handlebars.
The self propelled operation is ONLY in the forward direction.
Self Propelled Variable Speed Control
The variable speed control (3) allows you to adjust your lawn mowers
walking speed. Be ready as the lawn mower will immediately start moving
forward with this procedure.
1. With the lawn mower operating and the variable
speed control (3) in the "SLOW" or "START"
position, move the engage/disengage bar (2)
forward to the handlebars. (Fig AJ).
The mower will start to move forward.
NOTE: the lawn mower will immediately start
moving forward.
