Cutting height adjustment
WARNING: Stop the engine and unplug the spark plug
before any repairs or maintenance operations.
The mower has
one lever to easily adjust the
cutting height.
There are 7 height settings.
1. To decrease the cutting height
pull the height adjustment
lever (6) out and move it up a
notch, towards the handlebar.
2. To increase the cutting height pull the lever out and move
it down a notch, towards the engine.
Note. If you are unsure of which cutting height to use, begin
with a high setting and trial a small section of lawn, then
check the appearance of the lawn. Then readjust if necessary
IMPORTANT. If mower is not used for an extended period
of time (3 months or more) fuel and oil must be decanted
(emptied) then replaced before the next use.
Checking the oil

around the oil filler cap (8) .
2. Remove the oil filler cap with dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth. Replace it and retighten the cap.
3. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level, the
oil should be at the full (‘max’) mark.
4. If oil is required add it slowly (the oil capacity is about
0.6 litre), do not over fill.

the engine.
Fuelling

find your mower does not start, first change the fuel in the
tank with newly purchased fuel.
Note. Use fresh unleaded petrol.
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap
(7) and pour unleaded petrol
into the tank with the aid of a
funnel.
2. Fill the tank to approximately
2.5 cm below the lowest
portion of the neck to allow for
fuel expansion.

3. Be careful not to spill any petrol, if this happens, wipe
the spill with a clean rag.
4. Start the engine at least three meters away from the
area where the fuel tank has been filled in order to avoid
the risk of fire.
WARNING. Never attempt to refuel the engine while it is
running or still warm, allow it to cool before fuelling.
