STARTING (WARM/HOT ENGINE)
Make sure your mower is on safe, flat surface (a paved area or path is ideal, avoid thick wet
grass & gravel surfaces) away from fuel or fueling area.
Move the throttle control level to the RUN position (Fig 2). Firmly hold the OPC/Brake lever
against the top handle with your left hand (Fig 4), and then with your right handle, pull the recoil
starter cord until you feel resistance. Then apply a vigorous pull with one positive action. Guide
the cord back to its rest position, do not let the rope fling back. Repeat if the engine does not
start.
STOPPING
Gradually release the OPC/Brake lever, until the engine stops.
CUTTING
COLLECT
Remove the mulch plug, put the side discharge cover into the closed position and place the
grass collector onto the rear of the machine. Grass will discharge into the grass collector.
SIDE DISCHARGE
Remove the mulch plug and grass collector. Put the side discharge cover into the open position
and fit the side discharge chute. Grass will discharge onto your lawn at the side of the machine.
MULCH
Put the side discharge cover into the closed position. Fit the mulch plug into the rear discharge
chute. The grass collector can be fitted for convenience. The grass will then be dispersed under
the lawnmower into your lawn in fine cuttings. This is a natural feed for your lawn.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Always turn the mower off, before adjusting the cutting height.
For best results, adjust the cutting height of your mower to suit your lawn conditions. Do not try
to cut too much grass in one pass. Adjustment of the cutting height is made centrally. Turn off
the mower and take the weight of the mower by lightly lifting the bottom handle crossbar. Take
hold of the Cutting Height Adjustment Lever, positioned on the mower's right-hand rear wheel.
Move the lever outwards to release it from its locating notch. Move the lever towards the front
of the machine to increase the cutting height and towards the rear to reduce the cutting height.
Return the lever to the locating notch to set the desired cutting height. Make sure the handle
fits snugly and securely into its serrated holder (fig 9).
