STARTING YOUR MOWER
Read and understand the Safety Precautions before using your mower.
• Put Mounteld 4-stroke, or an SAE 10W-30 oil, in the oil ller (Figure 3). Do not overll. The oil level should not be
above the MAX mark on the dipstick. The oil tank capacity is 0,55 litre or 20 uid oz of Mounteld oil, part number
MX855, is available from any Mounteld stockist.
• Fill the fuel tank with UNLEADED petrol. Use only clean, fresh petrol - stale fuel may contain deposits that will
clog the carburettor. Unleaded fuel can start to go stale after just 28 days. Do not overll, the petrol level should be
below the bottom of the fuel tank neck. Do not over tighten the fuel cap. The fuel cap breathes through the threads
of the cap and over tightening can cause the engine to cut out.
• Ensure that the spark plug lead is securely connected to the spark plug.
