Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon
as the engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine,
move the motor brake several times to be
sure that the stop cable is properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed
that is optimal for cutting and blowing grass
into the basket and is designed to provide
many years of use.
Check the oil level.
Open the fuel tank cap and ll the petrol
tank (6) up to the lower point of the tank in-
let with about 0.8 litres of petrol. Use a fun-
nel and a measuring container for lling.
Do not overll the tank. Use fresh, clean
unleaded fuel.
Never mix oil with petrol. Buy fuel in
amounts which can be used within 30
days in order to guarantee its freshness.
Note: Use only unleaded gasoline.
m WARNING
Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke

minutes.
Start engine (Fig. 14)
Ensure that the ignition cable is connected
to the spark plug.
Stand behind the mower. One hand
squeezes the engine brake lever (3) to the
handle, the other pulls the pull start.
Start the engine using the reversing start-
er (17). To do this pull the handle approx.
10 – 15 cm (until you feel a resistance) and
then start the engine with a sharp pull. If
the engine does not start, pull the handle
again.
Due to protective coating on the engine,
a small amount of smoke may be present
during the initial use of the product and
should be considered normal.
Note: Easier starting in colder tempera-
tures by pressing the primer Fig. 14. Use
only by a cold engine!
m CAUTION!
Never allow the starter cord to snap back.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-
ups of the lawn mower, it comes equipped
with an engine brake (Fig. 1/ Item 3) which
must be pulled back before the engine can
be started. When the engine control lever
is released it must return to its initial posi-
tion, at which point the engine automati-
cally switches o󰀨.
Press the engine brake lever (3) together
and give the starter cord (17) a vigorous
pull. (Fig. 14)
Attention: When you pull the starting rope
the cutting blade rotates even when dis-
solved motor brake lever. Make sure that
there are no body parts in danger zone of
cutting blade.
When the engine is running, press the
drive lever (2) to the handle (1) in order to
engage drive on the mower.
Before you start mowing, you should run
through this operation several times in or-
der to ensure that the machine is working
properly.
m WARNING
Whenever you need to perform any kind
of adjustment and/or repair work on your
lawn mower, wait until the blade has
come to a complete stop.
Always switch o󰀨 the engine before car-
rying out any adjustments, maintenance
or repairs.

To mow, hold the drive lever (2) in the work-
ing position. Before you start to mow, check
the start/stop lever several times to be sure
that it is working properly. Ensure that the

(i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way).
Drive lever (2):
If you press this the clutch for the drive will
be closed and the lawnmower will start to
move with the motor running. Release the
drive lever in good time to stop the moving
lawnmower. Practice starting and stopping
