ASSEMBLING THE MOWER BEFORE FIRST USE

Delivery Checklist

Remove the mower from the packaging and check that
the following items have been supplied correctly. If any
items are missing contact, your local Hayter dealer.
1. Engine Handbook. 3. Parts list/D of C.
2. Grassbag. 4. Warranty Reg Card.
To prevent accidents cut off the long ribbon attached to
the grassbag and discard. (Refer fig.1)

Handlebar

Unscrew the handlebar securing knobs sufficiently to
allow the handlebar to pivot. Move the blade stop lever
away from the engine to avoid damage and unfold the
handlebar to the operating position. (Refer fig.2)
Tighten both handlebar knobs to secure in position.
Take care to ensure that the control cables do not
become snagged at the pivot point.

Grassbag Assembly

Before first use assemble the grassbag and frame. Slide
the frame (1) into the grassbag (2), ensuring that the han-
dle is above the grassbag as shown. Attach plastic clips
(A), (B), (C) and (D) to the grassbag frame. (Refer fig.3)

position. Lower the deflector to rest on the grassbag.

Prevent Engine Damage

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped
without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with
the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the
engine. (Refer fig.4)

Oil Type

Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30
oil. Never use additives with recommended oil.
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that
the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use - Refer to
'Maintenance Schedule'.

Check Oil Level

Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With
the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the
oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.
Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then unscrew
and remove it to check the oil level. (Refer fig.5)
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on
the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. (Refer fig.5)

Fuel Type

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel

Stratton recommend the use of their fuel additive which
is available from an authorised Briggs & Stratton service
dealer.
