Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. Whilst mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment when you are operating the lawnmower, such as safety glasses, long trousers, substantial footwear and ear protection.
- Whenever you leave the machine - Before refuelling - Before checking blockages Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut-down and turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

Bottom blade adjustment decal Do not over tighten the bottom blade – the cylinder should be able to spin freely If you are still unable to cleanly cut paper, inspect the bottom blade and cylinder. If they appear, rounded, damaged or excessively worn they may need to be reground or replaced. New bottom blades should always be reground attached to the bottom blade carrier.
6.4 Height of cut adjustment The height of cut is set by altering the position of the front roller. WARNING - blades are sharp, always wear gloves WARNING – Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap For a cutting cylinder cartridge: 1) Set “on cut”...

If the mower should happen to fail despite the care taken in manufacture and testing, repairs should be carried out by an authorised Allett dealer. 7.1 Adjusting land drive and cylinder cables If the mower or cylinder doesn’t drive adequately it may be necessary to adjust the drive cable as follows:...
1) With the mower standing on level ground, unscrew and remove the engine oil filler dipstick (15) 2) Wipe the oil filler dipstick clean: insert the oil dipstick, then remove it again. Do not screw it in. 3) Check the oil level 4) Add a good quality SAE 10W-30 oil in small quantities at a time, allowing it to settle.
7.6 Bottom blade grinding angles For cylinder cutting cartridges only. The cutting performance of the C20 and C24 is highly dependent on the condition of both the cylinder and bottom blade. Poorly maintained parts will lead to a poor quality of cut.
8.2 Floating handle bars The upper and lower handle bars are isolated with rubber vibration mounts. The lower handle bar is also suspended via springs. The sprung lower handle bar is designed to “float” off the rubber stops when in use. The spring tension can be adjusted by rotating the spring anchor.
10.0 Noise reduction Best practices for reducing noise emission: This mower is designed to operate at low engine speeds. Adequate performance can be achieved at little over idle speed. Setting minimal contact between the cylinder and bottom blade will also help reduce noise emissions.
Vibration test code BS EN ISO 5395-1 Annex G, 2.95 m/s/s 1.5 m/s/s uncertainty Notified body: AVT Reliability, Warrington, Cheshire Technical construction file is kept by: Allett Ltd, Regal House, Airfield Industrial Estate, Hixon, Staffordshire, ST18 0PF I hereby declare that the equipment named above has been tested and found to comply with the relevant sections of the above referenced specifications.
