Controlling And Operating The Lawnmower; Starting The Lawnmower - Fieldmann FZR 5115-170B Manual

EN 10 Before starting the lawnmower | Controlling and operating the lawnmower
Caution! In the event that you spill any oil or fuel on the lawnmower when refilling, wipe it away
immediately. Do not store or add fuel or handle it in any way in the vicinity of an open fire.
Caution! Fuels mixed with alcohol or fuels with ethanol or methane additives may bind moisture to
themselves, which may result in separation during storage and the formation of acids. Subsequently during
storage the acid vapours may damage the fuel system of the lawnmower engine. These fuels must not be
used in the lawnmower.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: When not using the lawnmower for longer than 30 days, drain the fuel
tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and the carburettor are empty (the engine will stop on
its own). This will prevent future engine problems.
Before using it again, add fresh fuel into the fuel tank. For more information, see chapter Storage
instructions.
7. CONTROLLING AND OPERATING THE
LAWNMOWER

STARTING THE LAWNMOWER

1. If the engine is not warmed up, press the fuel primer bulb 2-3 times (Fig. 6 – point 1).
If the engine is already warm, it is not necessary to use the fuel primer bulb.
2. Pull the start/brake lever towards the handle and hold it there (Fig. 6 – point 2), then pull on the pull cord
(Fig. 6 – point 3). The engine should start up after 3-4 pulls.
3. The engine is turned off by releasing the start/brake lever.
Caution! A small amount of smoke may be emitted when the engine is started up for the first time as the
protective layers in the engine are burnt off. This is completely normal and does not constitute a problem.
