The cable may need tightening, see under heading 
“ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE“ in the sec-
tion “MAINTENANCE“.
GRASS COLLECTOR
Raise the collector flap and attach the two brackets 
to the grass collector with the screws provided. 
The brackets are marked with L and R and should 
be installed at the corresponding mark on the rear 
of the mower (fig. 7).
Fabric grass collector (*):  Fit the fabric bag over 
the steel frame and then snap the bag onto the plas-
tic lid (fig. 6).
Plastic grass collector (*):  Snap together both 
halves and then the upper part (fig. 8). 
Open the flap on the machine and attach the grass 
collector to the brackets.
NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without 
the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line 
behind the machine.
BATTERY (*)
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic 
and corrosive. It can cause serious cor-
rosion 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. 
Insert ignition key (*) into the ignition lock.
USING THE MOWER
COMBI(*)
Your new lawnmower combines three different 
functions in the same machine:
1. “MULTICLIP“
The machine comes equipped with a plug (P), in-
stalled in the ejector opening (fig. 31). The ma-
chine can be used for ‘Multiclip’ i.e. the blade 
finely cuts up the grass during mowing.  The grass 
then falls into the lawn where it is allowed to rot. 
This provides the lawn with nourishment. 
To remove the plug, press in the catch (S). On re-
installing the plug ensure that both pins are pressed 
firmly into the holes so that the plug snaps in place.
Turbo 43 Combi:
To remove the plug, unscrew the wing nut.
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the grass collector provided (fig. 6, 8). 
Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook 
the collector onto the rear of the machine.
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec-
tor. 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.
3. REAR EJECTION
Use the mower without the plug or the grass col-
lector (flap closed). The grass is released behind 
the machine without being cut up.

BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OILThe 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.
Remove the oil dipsti c k  ( f ig .   9 ,  1 0 , 11 ) .  F il l t h e  e n -
gine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality oil 
(service class SE, SF or  SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE 
10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/ MAX’. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is 
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the 
dipstick.
Briggs Stratton:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 9, 10). Slide 
it down completely and tig hten it. Unscrew and pull 
it up again. Read off the o il level. If the oil level is 
low, fill with oil up to  the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
Honda:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 11). Insert 
the dipstick fully, but do  not screw it into the 
thread. Pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the 
oil level is low, fill with  oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ 
mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the filler cap or fill with 
petrol while the engine is running or still 
warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al-
low a little room for the petrol to expand 
if necessary.
Some engines have an extra safety cover under the 
regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.
Preferably use environmenta lly friendly petrol, i.e. 
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-
tion 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.
NOTE! If you change to environmental-
ly friendly petrol in an engine previously 
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95), 
the petrol manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions must be followed carefully.  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 lead-free petrol 
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than 
can be used within thirty days.
STARTING THE ENGINE
(Briggs & Stratton)
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do  not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to  the spark plug.
3. If the lawnmower is equipped with throttle con- trol, set the throttle control  B to full throttle   
(fig. 15).
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the  primer fully 6 time s (fig.  12, 13).
When starting a warm e ngine, the primer does 
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a 
lack of petrol, refill  and press down the primer 
3 times.
5. Press in the Start/Stop loop G towards the han-
dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loop G must be kept 
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping
(fig.  15).
6a Manual start: Grasp the  starter handle and start 
the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.
6b Electric start (*): Start the engine by turning the  ignition key clockwise. Release the key as soon 
as the engine starts. Always make short at-
tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg-
ing the battery.
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.
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-
tating blade(s). Never put your hand or 
foot under the blade casing or in the 
grass ejector while the engine is run-
ning.
