SETTING BLADE HEIGHT

See figure 6.

When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-

cutting position. Before using the mower for the ﬁ rst time,

adjust the cutting position to the height best suited for your

lawn. The average lawn should be between 3 and 6 cm,

depending on the season.

■ To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment

lever and move it toward the back of the mower.

■ To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment

lever and move it toward the front of the mower.

OPERATION

MOWING TIPS

■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and

other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades

or engine. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by

the mower in any direction and cause serious personal

injury to the operator and others.

■ For best performance, always cut off one-third or less of

the total height of the grass.

■ When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow

for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the

clippings.

■ Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of the

deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass

clippings.

■ New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height.

■ Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use

to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other

accumulated debris.

SLOPE OPERATION TIPS

See figure 8.

■ Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall

accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on

slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a

slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to

mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

■ Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on

slopes.

■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps

which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide

obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,

etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.

■ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause

serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your

balance, release the power lever immediately.

■ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;

you could lose your footing or balance.

FUEL AND REFUELLING

WARNING

Always handle petrol with care; it is highly flammable.

■ Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this

purpose.

■ Always refuel outdoors where there are no sparks and

flames. Do not inhale fuel vapour. Do not smoke and

stay away from open flames and sparks when filling fuel

tank or when handling fuel.

■ Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with your skin.

■ Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or oil

comes in contact with the eyes, wash them immediately

with clean water. If irritation is still present, see a doctor

immediately.

■ Clean up spilled petrol immediately.

FILLING THE TANK

See figure 5.

WARNING

Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add petrol to a machine with a

running or hot engine. Move at least 9 m (30 ft) from

refuelling site before starting the engine. Do not smoke.

Failure to heed this warning could result in serious

personal injury.

WARNING

After fueling, never tilt the mower more than 25 degrees

for this could result in fuel leakage and risk of fire, etc.

1. Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.

2. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep

fuel from escaping around the cap. Rest the cap on a

clean surface.

3. Carefully pour petrol into the tank. Avoid spillage.

4. Clean and inspect the gasket, then replace all fuel and

container caps securely.

5. Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from

refuelling site before starting engine.

NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new

engine during and after ﬁ rst use.

ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE OIL

See figure 5.

Engine oil has a major inﬂ uence on engine performance

and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE

10W-30 is recommended. Always use a 4-cycle motor oil

that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service

classiﬁ cation SJ.

NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-cycle engine oils will damage
