CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
VARIATOR CONTROL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick.
When the mower is delivered, the variator cable is
set so that the transmission cannot be damaged.
The cable may need tightening, see under heading
“ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE“ in the
section “MAINTENANCE“.
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 13, 14).
Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew
and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil
level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’
mark.
GRASS COLLECTOR
Fit the fabric bag over the steel frame and then
snap the bag onto the plastic lid (fig. 11).
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Open the flap on the machine and attach the grass
collector to the brackets (fig. 12).
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the engine is running or still
warm.
NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without
the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line
behind the machine.
Never completely fill the petrol tank.
Allow a little room for the petrol to
expand if necessary.
BATTERY (*)
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a
composition that is less harmful to people and
nature. It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators
(alcohols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and corrosive. It can cause serious
corrosion damage etc. Avoid all contact
with skin, eyes and clothing.
Before starting for the first time, the battery should
be charged for 24 hours, see further information
under the heading MAINTENANCE, BATTERY.
NOTE! If you change to
environmentally friendly petrol in an
engine previously run on ordinary lead-
free petrol (95), the petrol
Insert ignition key (*) into the ignition lock.
manufacturer’s recommendations must
be followed carefully.
USING THE MOWER
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-
free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more
petrol than can be used within thirty days.
When mowing, the grass is collected in the
collector. Empty the grass onto the compost heap
or spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machine
is also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.
BEFORE STARTING
STARTING THE MOTOR
(Briggs & Stratton)
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 13, 14). Fill the
engine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality
oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or
SAE 10W-30 oil.
3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 15).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of fuel, refill and press down the primer 3
times.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.

ENGLISH
5. Press the Start/Stop loopG towards the handle.
NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
16).
Keep hands and feet away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is
running.
6a Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and start
the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
6b Electric start (*): Start the engine by turning the
ignition key clockwise. Release the key as soon
as the engine starts. Always make short
attempts at starting in order to prevent
discharging the battery.
The engine may be very warm
immediately after it is shut off. Do not
touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling
fins. This can cause burn injuries.
1. Release the Start/Stop loop G (fig. 16) to stop
the engine. This loop must not be disengaged
(e.g. by setting it in the depressed position
against the handle), as it will not be possible to
stop the engine.
For ease of starting, press down the handle so
that the front wheels lift slightly from the
ground. Do not start in thick grass.
7. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
Honda: Close the fuel tap.
Keep hands and feet away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is
running.
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug. Also
remove the ignition key (*).
If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop
the engine by removing the spark plug
cable from the spark plug. Immediately
take the lawnmower to an authorised
workshop for repair.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
DRIVE
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I
towards the handle. Disengage the drive by
releasing the clutch loop I (fig. 16).
3. Open the fuel tap (fig. 17).
4. Set the throttle control B in the choke
position . NOTE! It is not necessary to use the
choke position when the engine is warm (fig.
16).
SPEED
Do not touch the variator control when
the engine is not running. This can
damage the operation of the variator.
5. Press the Start/Stop loopG towards the handle.
NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
16).
Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator
control to one of the 4 positions (fig. 18).
The various positions have the following speeds:
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
Position :approx. 2.8 km/h
Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h
Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h
7. When the engine starts, move the throttle
control backwards until max. revs are obtained.
NOTE! The engine should always be run at
maximum revs to avoid abnormal machine
vibrations.
Position :approx. 4.5 km/h
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the engine before adjusting the
cutting height.
8

GB
ENGLISH
Do not set the cutting height so low that the
blade comes into contact with uneven ground.
OIL CHANGE
Change the oil when the engine is warm
and the fuel tank is empty. In order to
prevent burns, take care while draining
as the oil is hot.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to one of the positions best suited to
your lawn (fig. 19).
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently every 50 hours of
operation or once a season. Remove the dipstick,
tilt the mower and let the oil run out into a
container. Be careful not to let any oil run on to the
grass.
MAINTENANCE
No servicing may be carried out on the
engine or lawnmower without first
removing the spark plug cable from the
spark plug.
Fill with new oil: Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.
The crankcase holds approx. 0.55 litres. Fill until
the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark on the
dipstick.
Stop the engine and remove the spark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. during transportation.
AIR FILTER
If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it
must be tilted so that the engine’s spark
plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawnmower
when the fuel tank is empty.
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
output and increases engine wear.
Briggs & Stratton (fig. 21):
Undo the screw and fold down the cover of the air
cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge.
Knock it against a flat surface. Replace the filter
cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty.
CLEANING
After use, the mower should be cleaned. This is
particularly important on the underside of the
mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose.
The mower will then last longer and work better.
High-pressure washers should not be used.
Clean the filter every three months or after every
25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More
frequently if the engine is working on dusty
ground.
If grass has dried on to the mower casing, it can be
scraped clean. If necessary, touch up the underside
with paint to prevent rust damage.
Honda (fig. 22): Remove the cover and take out the
filter. Carefully check the filter for holes or other
damage. A broken or damaged filter must be
replaced.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
flammable waste products.
To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several
times against a hard surface or use compressed air
from the back of the filter to blow-clean. Do not try
to brush the filter clean as this forces dirt down into
the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the
screws S (fig. 20) and clean around the
transmission and drive belts with a brush or
compressed air once or twice a year.
The drive chain should be lubricated once per
season. Remove the right-hand cover from the
roller and apply a little chain spray onto the chain.
Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of
operation or once a season. More frequently if the
engine is working on dusty ground.
COOLING SYSTEM
SPARK PLUG
Before each use, the engine’s cooling system must
be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges
and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc.
Never remove the spark plug or spark
plug cable when checking to see if there
is a spark. Use an approved test
instrument.
Clean the spark plug regularly (every 100 hours of
run time). Use a wire brush for cleaning.

pushing the lawnmower.
With the clutch loop fully
pressed in (position 2) it
should not be possible to push
the mower. Unscrew the
nipple T until this position is
achieved.
BATTERY (*)
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and corrosive. It can cause serious
corrosion damage etc. Avoid all contact
with skin, eyes and clothing.
In normal use during the season, the battery is
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be
started with the ignition key, it may be because the
battery is ‘dead’.
ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE
If the speed difference between the settings in the
variator control giving the fastest speed (position 3
and ) appears insignificant or nothing at all, the
variator cable might need tightening (fig. 18).
Dismantle the battery by opening the battery
cover, disconnecting the terminal on the engine
and removing the battery (fig. 23). Connect the
battery charger (provided) to the battery, then
connect the charger to a wall socket and charge for
24 hours (fig. 24).
1. Run the mower for a few minutes in position
.
2. If the variator cable shows some play in nipple
Y it needs tightening. Undo the locking nut X
and tighten the cable by unscrewing the nipple
Y until the cable ceases to show any play.
After charging, the battery may be reinstalled and
the terminal on the battery connected to the
terminal on the engine (fig. 25).
The battery charger may not be connected directly
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine with the charger as the power source and
the charger could be damaged.
3. Tighten the locking nut X.
NOTE! Do not stretch the cable beyond the point
where there is no play in the nipple Y. If the cable is
over-tightened, the drive belt could break and/or
other parts of the transmission be damaged. When
setting after e.g. belt change, always start with the
nippleY completely screwed in.
WINTER STORAGE
Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and
+15°C). The battery should be maintenance-
charged at least once during the winter storage
period.
CHANGING BLADES
Use protective gloves when changing
blade to avoid cutting yourself.
Before the start of the season, the battery should be
charged once again for 24 hours.
Check the blade system regularly. Check
particularly the curved area behind the
blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade
shows traces of damage it should be
replaced. A worn blade creates imbalance
and can damage the mower.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because the
clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows:
Always check the blade after an impact. First
disconnect the spark plug cable. If the blade
system has been damaged, defective parts should
be replaced. Always use genuine spare parts.

ENGLISH
To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 27). Fit
the new blade so that the stamped logo is turned up
facing the blade holder (not facing the grass).
Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly.
Tightening torque 40 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into
obstacles.
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade
screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or
damage, even if they fit the machine.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a
grindstone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high
temperature could cause the blades to become
brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced to avoid
vibration damage.
STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark
plug.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICING
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service
workshops and by many dealers.
