Maintenance Schedule
Performing routine maintenance correctly on your lawnmower will ensure you get years of trouble free
use.
Please keep this manual safe for future reference.
It is recommended that the following maintenance schedule is adhered to. This will ensure the
lawnmower operates correctly and is safe to use.
Maintenance Operations
Spark Plug
1. Once the engine has cooled, pull off the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the sparkplug
using the socket spanner supplied.
2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3. Using a feeler gauge set the gap to 0.51mm.
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross threading.
5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the spanner to compress the washer.
Air Filter
NOTE!
Never run the engine without the air filter element installed. The air cleaner system uses a foam filter.
1. Open the cover (B).
2. Remove the filter(C).
3. Wash the foam element in liquid detergent and water. Squeeze dry the foam element in a clean
cloth.
4. Install the filter(C).
5. Close the cover(B).
Oil
Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil filler, have a container
ready to catch the oil and remove the dipstick. Once the oil
has been emptied, wipe clean any spillages.
Refill with 500ml SAE30 oil or equivalent ie SAE10W/30).
When the dipstick is rested on the filler pipe (i.e. not screwed
in place), the oil level must be between the min and max
marks on the dipstick.
See “Filling with Engine Oil’’. Do not overfill.
Start the engine and allow it to run briefly.
Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top
up if necessary.
