For ease of starting, press down the handle so
that the front wheels lift slightly from the
ground. Do not start in thick grass.
7. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
Keep hands and feet away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is
running.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. Open the fuel tap (fig. 17).
4. Set the throttle control B in the choke
position . NOTE! It is not necessary to use the
choke position when the engine is warm (fig.
16).
5. Press the OPC lever G towards the handle.
NOTE! The OPC lever G must be kept pressed
in to prevent the engine stopping (fig. 16).
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
7. When the engine starts, move the throttle
control backwards until max. revs are obtained.
NOTE! The engine should always be run at
maximum revs to avoid abnormal machine
vibrations.
Keep hands and feet away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is
running.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The engine may be very warm
immediately after it is shut off. Do not
touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling
fins. This can cause burn injuries.
1. Release the OPC lever G (fig. 16) to stop the
engine. The lever must not be disengaged (e.g.
by setting it in the depressed position against
the handle), as it will not be possible to stop the
engine.
Honda: Close the fuel tap.
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug. Also
remove the ignition key (*).
If the OPC lever ceases to work, stop the
engine by removing the spark plug cable
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawnmower to an authorised
workshop for repair.
DRIVE
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch lever I to-
wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing
the clutch lever I (fig. 16).
SPEED
Do not touch the variator control when
the engine is not running. This can
damage the operation of the variator.
Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator con-
trol to one of the 4 positions (fig. 18).
The various positions have the following speeds:
Position :approx. 2.8 km/h
Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h
Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h
Position :approx. 4.5 km/h
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the engine before adjusting the
cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade comes into contact with
uneven ground.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to one of the positions best suited to
your lawn (fig. 19).
