Note that you should always remember that petrol
is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol
than you can use up 30 days.
STARTING THE ENGINE
(Briggs & Stratton)
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.
2. Make sure that the spark plug lead is connected
to the spark plug.
3. If the lawn mower is equipped with throttle con-
trol, set the throttle control B to the full throttle
position
(fig. 15).
4. When starting a cold engine, press in the primer
fully three times (figs. 11, 12, 13).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need to be pressed in. If the engine stops due
to a lack of petrol, refill with petrol and press in
the primer three times.
5. Press in the Start/Stop clamp G towards the
handle. Note! The Start/Stop clamp G must be
kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop-
ping (fig. 15).
6a.Manual starting. Grasp the starter handle and
start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter
cord.
6b.Electric starting (*). Start the engine by turning
the starter key clockwise. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts. Always make short at-
tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg-
ing the battery.
To facilitate starting the engine, press down the
handle so that the front wheels lift slightly from
the ground. Do not start in tall grass.
7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should
always run the engine at full speed.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the engine is
running.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
ENGLISH
3. Open the petrol tap (figs. 14).
4. Set the throttle control B to the choke position
. Note! A warm engine does not need to be
choked (fig. 15).
5. Press in the Start/Stop clamp G towards the
handle. Note! The Start/Stop clamp G must be
kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop-
ping (fig. 15).
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
7. When the engine has started, move the throttle
control backwards until the maximum engine
speed is obtained. Note! The engine should al-
ways be run at maximum engine speed to avoid
abnormal vibrations on the machine.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The motor may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.
1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 15) to stop the
engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.
through fixing it in the depressed position
against the steering), as the engine cannot be
stopped.
Honda: Close the fuel cock.
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove
the lead from the spark plug. Also remove the
starter key (*).
If the start/stop loop no longer works,
stop the engine by removing the lead
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawn mower to an authorised work-
shop for repairs.
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Engage the drive by pressing coupling clamp I
against the handle. Disengage the drive by releas-
ing coupling clamp I (fig. 15).
