• Never start the engine indoors or in an
enclosed area. Exhaust fumes from the
engine contain carbon monoxide, an
odourless and highly dangerous gas –
risk of serious personal injury and/or
death. Keep your hands, feet, hair, and
loose-tting clothes away from moving
parts. The engine and exhaust pipe get
very hot when in use – risk of burn
injuries.
NOTE:
• Before starting the engine, manoeuvre
the engine lever several times to check
the wire moves easily.
• Check before starting that the blades are
correctly and securely tted.
• Check that the spark plug lead is
connected to the spark plug, that the oil
level is correct, and that there is petrol in
the fuel tank.
1. Press the engine lever towards the top
handle.

2. Stand behind lawn mower. To start the
engine, pull the starter cord slowly until it
catches (about 10–15 cm) and then pull
quickly.
3. Let the starter handle return to its original
position slowly when the engine has
started.
STOPPING
1. Release the engine control lever. Check
that the engine stops when the lever is
released.
LAWN MOWING
WARNING!
• Never open the ejector ap if the engine
is running and the grass catcher is not
tted. The lawn mower blades can cause
serious personal injury.
FUEL
NOTE:
• The engine is supplied without oil and
fuel. Always ll up with fuel and engine
oil before using for the rst time.
• Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol.
Petrol is a perishable product. Do not
buy more petrol than you can use in
30 days. Do not mix oil in the petrol.
• Do not ll more than to the bottom edge
of the ller pipe, so that the fuel can
expand. Do not overll the tank.
• Always be careful when handling fuel
– it is highly ammable. Store out of the
reach of children.
• Only refuel in a well-ventilated area
with the engine switched o. Keep
petrol away from sparks and naked
ames, and do not smoke where petrol
is stored or when lling petrol. Avoid
repeated or prolonged skin contact with
fuel and/or inhalation of fuel fumes.
1. Clean the area around the ller cap before
opening the fuel cap.
2. Open the ller cap and check the fuel
level.
3. Fill up with fuel if the level is too low.
Avoid spilling fuel when lling. Do not
overll. The fuel must not come up the
ller tube.
4. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting
the engine.
5. Replace and tighten the cap on the tank
by hand.
