GRASS COLLECTOR
Fit the fabric bag over the steel frame and then
snap the bag onto the plastic lid (fig. 11).
Open the flap on the machine and attach the grass
collector to the brackets (fig. 12).
NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without
the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line
behind the machine.

USING THE MOWER

When mowing, the grass is collected in the
collector. Empty the grass onto the compost heap
or spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machine
is also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 13). Fill the engine's
crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality oil
(service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to 'FULL/MAX'. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between 'FULL/MAX' and 'ADD/MIN' on the
dipstick.
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 13). Slide
it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and
pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil
level is low, fill with oil up to the 'FULL/MAX'
mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the engine is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank.
Allow a little room for the petrol to
expand if necessary.
Some engines have an extra safety cover under the
regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a
composition that is less harmful to people and
nature. It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators
(alcohols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
ENGLISH
If you change to environmentally
friendly petrol in an engine previously
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),
the petrol manufacturer's
recommendations must be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-
free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more
petrol than can be used within thirty days.
STARTING THE MOTOR
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 14).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of fuel, refill and press down the primer 3
times.
5. Press the Start/Stop loopG towards the handle.
NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
15).
6 Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
For ease of starting, press down the handle so
that the front wheels lift slightly from the
ground. Do not start in thick grass.
7. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
Keep hands and feet away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is
running.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

The engine may be very warm
immediately after it is shut off. Do not
touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling
fins. This can cause burn injuries.
1. Release the Start/Stop loop G (fig. 15) to stop
the engine. This loop must not be disengaged
(e.g. by setting it in the depressed position
against the handle), as it will not be possible to
stop the engine.
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug.
If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop
the engine by removing the spark plug
cable from the spark plug. Immediately
take the lawnmower to an authorised
workshop for repair.
