1. MULCHING
The machine comes equipped with a plug installed
in the ejector opening (fig. 29). The machine can
be used for mulching i.e. the blade finely cuts up
the grass during mowing. The grass then falls into
the lawn where it is allowed to rot. This provides
the lawn with nourishment.
To install the plug, press in the catch (S) and en-
sure that both pins are pressed firmly into the holes
so that the plug snaps in place.
M2 TRI-CUT:
To remove the plug, unscrew the wing nut.
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the grass collector provided (fig. 4, 6).
Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook
the collector onto the rear of the machine.
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec-
tor. Empty the grass onto the compost heap or
spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machine is
also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.
3. REAR DISCHARGE
Use the mower without the collector and mulching
plug and the grass is left in a line behind the ma-
chine.
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 8 - 10). Fill the en-
gine’s crankcase with approx. 0.55 litres of good
quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE
30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick.
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 8 - 10).
Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew
and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil
level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’
mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the engine is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al-
low a little room for the petrol to expand
if necessary.
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-
tion that is less harmful to people and nature. It has
e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols
and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
NOTE! If you change to environmental-
ly friendly petrol in an engine previously
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),
the petrol manufacturer’s recommen-
dations must be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
STARTING THE ENGINE
(Briggs & Stratton)
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. If the lawnmower is equipped with throttle con-
trol, set the throttle control B to full throttle
(fig. 14).
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 11, 12).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer
3 times.
5. Press the OPC G towards the handle. NOTE!
The OPC G must be kept pressed in to prevent
the engine stopping (fig. 14).
6a Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and start
the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.
