ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START MOWING
- Check the engine oil.
- Fill the fuel tank with petrol.
- Check the air pressure of the tires.
- Check the level of the mower housing.
- Make sure the battery cables are attached.
- Make sure the wire is attached to the spark plug.
HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil.
Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
NOTE: The operation of a new engine will sometimes result in
a slight amount of smoke. This smoke is caused by paint or oil
on or around the muffler. This is normal should be expected
during initial operation.
A separate engine manual is also included with the unit. See this
engine manual for the manufacturer’s instructions for the type of
petrol and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information
on safety, operation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer’s
instructions for the type of petrol and oil to use.
Always use a safety petrol container. Do not
smoke when adding petrol to the engine. When
inside an enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before
you add petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine
cool for several minutes.
CHECK THE TIRES
NOTE: The tires were over inflated for shipment. The correct air
pressure is shown on the side of the tire.
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air
pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air
pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The
correct air pressure is shown on the side of the tire.
CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE MOWER HOUSING
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short
distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does
not cut level, see the instructions on “How to Level The Mower
Housing” in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
WARNING: Before doing any assembly or
maintenance to the mower, remove the wire from the
spark plug.
NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right describe the
location of a part with the operator on the seat.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion
engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved
forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless
the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester
meeting applicable local laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used,
it must be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
See an Authorised Service Centre for a spark arrester for the
muffler.
In some areas, local law requires the use of a resistor spark
plug to control the ignition signals. See an Authorised Service
Centre for a resistor spark plug for the engine.
NOTE: Actual sustained horsepower will likely be lower due to
operating limitations and environmental factors.
