Mowing
Before mowing, check the engine oil level and
fill the petrol tank.
Toward the end of season, it is advisable to put
only as much fuel in the tank as you need for
each cut, since it should be completely used
before storing the mower.
For best results, place the lawnmower on
G
the edge of the lawn, mow in a forward direc-
tion. Then at right angles at the end of each
turn, slightly overlapping the previously cut strip.
The next time you mow the lawn, try to work at
right angles to the previous cut as this will help
prevent unevenness in the surface soil which
can build up if you always mow in the same di-
rection.

Maintenance

Stop and remove spark plug cap.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry
out the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as a
loose, dislodged or damaged blade, loose fix-
ings, and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged
and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary main-
tenance or repairs before using.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly
using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water,
solvents or polishes. Remove all debris, espe-
cially from the air filter and engine fins.
If the mower should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacture and testing, repair
should be carried out by an authorised cus-
tomer service agent for Webb Lawnmowers
garden products.

Adjusting the Blade

C G
The cutter should be adjusted if the grass is not
cut cleanly and evenly.
1. Tilt the mower back and wedge securely.
2. Remove grassbox cradle 20.
3. Turn both adjuster screws 22 clockwise a little
at a time.
Note: The blades are correctly adjusted when
the cutting cylinder 23 lightly brushes the bot-
tom blade across the full width as the cylinder is
turned.
The blades act like a pair of shears, as a test,
correctly adjusted blades will cut a piece of
good quality writing paper across the width of
the blade.
Once correctly adjusted refit grassbox cra-
dle 20.
