To adjust the height of cut
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug
• Put the mower on a level surface
• Adjust the cutting height lever by pulling outwards and moving into
the required position (Figure 9)
• All four wheels must be at the same height.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Always ensure that the mower is in a safe working condition.
Inspect the cutter blade for damage; check safety devices and
guards; check that all nuts, bolts and screws are secure.
• Check the oil level as follows:
a) Remove the oil ller cap and wipe the dipstick clean (Figure 10)
b) Ret the dipstick into the ller neck without screwing it down.
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level; oil should be at the FULL
mark. The oil tank capacity is about 0,55 litre or 20 uid oz.
c) If the oil level is low add Mounteld oil part number MX855 or a SAE
10W-30 oil, to the upper limit on the dipstick. Do not overll; the oil level
should not be above the FULL mark
• Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol. Do not overll, there is no need to ll
tank to the top. The fuel tank need only contain enough fuel to complete
the days mowing. If you run out of fuel, relling must only be carried out
once the engine has cooled. Fuel stored within the machine for 28 days or
more can go stale and should be drained before further use.
MAINTENANCE

mower is pulled backwards.
• Start the mower and ensure it does not drive when the lever is disengaged.
