Overview

This document serves as both an Assembly Manual and an Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Qualcast 51cm Petrol Self Propelled Lawnmower, model number XSZ51A-SD.

Function Description:

The Qualcast 51cm Petrol Self Propelled Lawnmower is designed for domestic lawn mowing. Its self-propelled feature reduces effort during operation. It offers multiple grass discharge options:

  • Collection: Grass cuttings are collected in a grass bag.
  • Mulching: A mulching plug allows for finely chopped grass to be returned to the lawn as fertilizer.
  • Side Discharge: A side discharge chute allows grass to be thrown to the side.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Engine Type: Single cylinder 4-stroke
  • Engine Displacement: 190cc
  • Engine Max. Power: 2.79kW
  • Engine Speed: 2900rpm
  • Cutting Width: 51cm
  • Grass Bag Capacity: 65L
  • Ignition: T.C.I
  • Oil Tank Capacity: 0.6L
  • Sound Pressure Level: 83.8 dB(A)
  • Sound Power Level: 97 dB(A)
  • Vibration: 6.1 m/s² K=1.5 m/s²
  • Spark Type: RJ19LMC (Champion)
  • Net Weight: 33 kg
  • Fuel Capacity: 1000ml (unleaded petrol)

Usage Features:

  • Assembly: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for assembling the lawnmower, including attaching the lower and upper handles, and ensuring proper cable routing. It emphasizes a two-person lift for removing the mower from packaging due to its weight.
  • Starting the Engine: Detailed instructions are provided for starting the 4-stroke engine, including priming the bulb (3-5 times for a cold engine, not needed for a warm engine), setting the throttle lever to the "RABBIT" position, pulling the stop/start bar, and then pulling the starter handle.
  • Cutting Height Adjustment: The lawnmower features 7 cutting height positions, adjusted by a lever towards the wheel. Users are advised not to use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions, and to cut only about one-third of the grass height.
  • Mowing Options:
    • Grass Collection: Requires removing the mulching plug and attaching the grass collection bag.
    • Mulching: Requires removing the grass collection bag and inserting the mulching plug.
    • Side Discharge: Requires inserting the mulching plug and attaching the side discharge chute.
  • Safety Precautions: The manual highlights numerous safety warnings, including wearing appropriate PPE (footwear, long trousers, gloves, eye, ear, and head protection), keeping bystanders away, avoiding operation on wet grass or excessively steep slopes (max 15°), and never operating the engine in confined spaces due to toxic exhaust fumes. It also warns against touching rotating blades and hot surfaces.
  • Fuel and Oil: The engine requires SAE30 or equivalent 4-stroke lawnmower oil (e.g., 5W30, 10W30) and clean, fresh unleaded petrol. It is crucial to fill both oil and fuel before starting the engine, as running with low oil will cause irreparable damage and invalidate the warranty. The oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of use.
  • Troubleshooting: A table is provided to help diagnose and resolve common issues such as loud running/heavy vibration, engine not starting, engine running unsteadily, uneven mowing, and unsatisfactory grass collection.

Maintenance Features:

  • Routine Maintenance Schedule: A recommended schedule outlines when to perform cleaning, checks, and replacements for the air filter, spark plug, engine oil, and cutting blade (after every use, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 36 hours of use).
  • Cleaning:
    • General Cleaning: Keep the machine clean and well-lubricated. Clear the chute and underside of the deck from wet debris. Avoid using water jets or high-pressure cleaners.
    • Air Filter: Instructions for loosening the fastener, removing the cover, tapping out debris, and replacing the filter if excessively dirty.
    • Spark Plug: Instructions for removing the spark plug boot, cleaning the plug with a wire brush, setting the gap to 0.7mm-0.8mm with a feeler gauge, and reinstalling.
  • Oil Change: Instructions for tilting the mower, draining old oil, and refilling with 500ml of recommended SAE30 oil. The engine oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of use and at the end of every season.
  • Replacing Cutting Blade: Instructions for tipping the machine, holding the blade, unscrewing the blade bolt, inspecting the blade adaptor, fitting a new blade, and tightening the bolt. Blades should be renewed after 50 hours of mowing or 2 years, whichever comes sooner.
  • Storage:
    • Short Periods: Allow the engine to cool, empty the grass bag, clean debris, store on a flat, level surface, and in a safe place.
    • Extended Periods (over 6 weeks): Empty the petrol tank (outdoors, away from flames), run the engine until remaining petrol is used up, change the oil, remove the spark plug, add 20ml of oil to the cylinder, pull the starter handle slowly, clean cooling fins and housing, and store in a well-ventilated place.
  • Parts and Support: A list of consumable Qualcast parts (spark plug, collection bag, blade, blade nut, knob, mulching plug) is provided, which can be ordered via www.gardenservicecentre.co.uk. Customer helpline details (0845 034 2279) and email (support@gardenservicecentre.co.uk) are available for assembly, parts queries, and technical support.
  • Warranty: A 2-year guarantee covers material or manufacturing defects, requiring proof of purchase. It explicitly excludes faults due to accidents, misuse, unauthorized repairs, consumable parts, lack of routine maintenance, failure to follow instructions, and adjustments of cables/belts/starters. The guarantee is invalidated if used for commercial, trade, or industrial applications.
