STARTING YOUR MOWER
Read and understand the Safety Precautions before using your mower.
• Put Mounteld 4-stroke oil, part number MX855, available from any Mounteld stockist or B&Q store, SAE 30 or
10W-30 oil, in the oil ller (Figure 3). Do not overll.
The oil tank capacity for models:
HP454 & SP454 is 0,5 litre
HP45 is 0,45 litre
HP45H is 0,55 litre
• 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. For model HP45H a fuel stabiliser is
recommended to help prevent fuel becoming stale. We recommend the use of Mounteld universal fuel stabiliser.
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.
• Press the “PRIMER” device button (Figure 4) 3 times to prime the carburettor (for models HP454, SP454 and
HP45).
• Turn on the fuel tap which is located beside the air lter (close up in Figure 3 for model HP45H)
