Engine Notes
Oil

hot - never attempt any maintenance on a hot engine.
Petrol

0.
. (Q)
Before mowing objects such as twigs, toys and stones
should be removed from the lawn. (R)
Avoid running the blade over foreign objects such as
stones, roots, etc., as it may cause engine damage.
Mow the lawn twice weekly during the most active
periods of growth.
Never cut more than 1/3 of the length of the grass,
especially during dry periods. (S)
Mow with a high cutting height setting the first time.
Examine the result and lower the mower to the desired
setting. Mow slowly or mow the grass twice if it is very
long.
Maintenance
Always remove the spark plug lead before repair,
cleaning or maintenance work.
All nuts, bolts and screws should be checked for
tightness after 5 hours use.
Check the oil.
Push the handle down to ground level when tilting the
mower for cleaning purposes. This will avoid oil and
fuel spillage.
Regularly
1. Hose down or brush off all grass, leaves, etc., from

Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges
could cause injury.
