Getting Started
PREPARING TO OPERATE THE LAWNMOWER STOP !!!
DO NOT START THE ENGINE BEFORE ADDING OIL TO
THE OIL SUMP. WHEN ADDING, DON‘T EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM LINE.
NOTE!
The following procedures and adjustments must be
performed before the engine is started. Do not attempt to
make any of these adjustments while the engine is running.
NOTE!
Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE30 oil (or
equivalent eg 5W 30, often termed as 4 Stroke lawn mower
oil). Never use additives with recommended oil. To prolong
the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed
after the first 24 hours of use.

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil
or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of
oil and petrol before starting the engine.
NOTE!
Running the engine with a low oil level will cause engine
damage. It is recommend that high detergent, premium
quality 4-stroke engine oil used. Using non-detergent oil
can shorten the engine’s service life and using 2-stroke oil
will damage the engine. Check the engine oil level when the
engine is stopped and cool and the mower standing on a
level surface.
Remove the oil filler dipstick and wipe any oil from it with a
clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not tighten
it. Then remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The
oil level must be between the Min and Max marks on the
dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to the upper level with the
recommended oil (SAE30 or equivalent). Do not overfill. Wipe
away any spilt oil.

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with
