    EYELET FOR STARTER HANDLE
    Attach the starter handle to the eyelet on the steer-
    ing handle (fig. 1).
    VARIATOR LEVER (*)
    When the lawn mower is supplied the variator ca-
    ble is set so that the transmission will not be dam-
    aged. It might be necessary to adjust the cable,
    refer to the section “ADJUSTING THE VARIA-
    TOR CABLE” in the “MAINTENANCE” section.
    GRASS COLLECTOR
    Raise the collector bin hatch and fit the two retain-
    ers to the grass collector bin using the enclosed
    screws. The retainers are marked L and R and
    should be fitted at the corresponding marks on the
    rear section of the mower (fig. 5).
    Fabric collector bin (*):Pull the fabric collector
    bag over the steel frame and snap the bag on the
    plastic cover (fig. 6).
    Plastic collector bin (*):Snap the two halves to-
    gether and then the upper part (fig. 7).
    Open the hatch on the mower and hitch the grass
    collector bin onto the retainers.
    Note that the mower can be operated without a
    grass collector bin. The grass cuttings are then left
    in a string behind the mower.
    BATTERY (*)
    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 the mower the first time, you
    should charge the battery for 24 hours. Refer also
    to the section titled “MAINTENANCE, BAT-
    TERY”.
    Insert the starter key (*) into the ignition lock.
    USING THE MOWER
    BEFORE STARTING
    FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
    The lawn mower is delivered without
    any oil in the motor crankcase. The
    crankcase must, therefore, be filled with
    oil before the motor is started the first
    time.
    Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 8, 9, 10). Fill the en-
    gines crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil
    (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE
    10W-30 oil.
    Slowly fill up to the “FULL/MAX” mark. Do not
    fill with too much oil.
    CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
    Check before using the machine that the oil level is
    between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the
    dipstick.
    Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 8, 9, 10). Slide it
    down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull
    it up again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with
    oil up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.
    FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
    Fill with petrol before starting the mo-
    tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill or
    topupwithpetrolwhilethemotoris
    running or still warm.
    Never fill the fuel tank completely full
    but allow a little room for the petrol to
    expand.
    Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never
    use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil. 
    						
    							ENGLISHGB
    Note that you should always remember that petrol
    is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol
    than you can use up 30 days.
    STARTING THE ENGINE
    (Briggs & Stratton)
    1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
    not start in high grass.
    2. Make sure that the spark plug lead is connected
    to the spark plug.
    3. If the lawn mower is equipped with throttle con-
    trol, set the throttle controlBto the full throttle
    position (fig. 15).
    4. When starting a cold engine, press in the primer
    fully three times (figs. 11, 12, 13).
    When starting a warm engine, the primer does
    not need to be pressed in. If the engine stops due
    to a lack of petrol, refill with petrol and press in
    the primer three times.
    5. Press in the Start/Stop clampGtowards the
    handle. Note! The Start/Stop clampGmust be
    kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop-
    ping (fig. 15).
    6a.Manual starting. Grasp the starter handle and
    start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter
    cord.
    6b.Electric starting (*). Start the engine by turning
    the starter 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.
    To facilitate starting the engine, press down the
    handle so that the front wheels lift slightly from
    the ground. Do not start in tall grass.
    7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should
    always run the engine at full speed.
    Keep hands and feet well away from the
    rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
    or foot under the blade casing or in the
    grass evacuation unit while the engine is
    running.
    STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)
    1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
    not start in high grass.
    2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
    the spark plug.3. Open the petrol tap (figs. 14).
    4. Set the throttle controlBto the choke position
    . Note! A warm engine does not need to be
    choked (fig. 15).
    5. Press in the Start/Stop clampGtowards the
    handle. Note! The Start/Stop clampGmust be
    kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop-
    ping (fig. 15).
    6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
    pulling briskly on the starter cord.
    7. When the engine has started, move the throttle
    control backwards until the maximum engine
    speed is obtained. Note! The engine should al-
    ways be run at maximum engine speed to avoid
    abnormal vibrations on the machine.
    Keep hands and feet well away from the
    rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
    or foot under the blade casing or in the
    grass evacuation unit while the motor is
    running.
    STOPPING THE ENGINE
    The motor may be very warm immedi-
    ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
    silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
    can cause burns and injury.
    1. Release Start/Stop-loopG(fig. 15) to stop the
    engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.
    through fixing it in the depressed position
    against the steering), as the engine cannot be
    stopped.
    Honda:Close the fuel cock.
    2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove
    the lead from the spark plug. Also remove the
    starter key (*).
    If the start/stop loop no longer works,
    stop the engine by removing the lead
    from the spark plug. Immediately take
    the lawn mower to an authorised work-
    shop for repairs.
    REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
    Engage the drive by pressing coupling clampI
    against the handle. Disengage the drive by releas-
    ing coupling clampI(fig. 15). 
    						
    							ENGLISHGB
    SPEED (*)
    Do not touch the variator control when
    the motor is not operational. This can
    have an adverse effect on the variators
    performance.
    Set a suitable speed by moving the variator lever
    into one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).
    The different positions have the following speeds:
    Position : approx. 2.8 km/h
    Position 2: approx. 3.1km/h
    Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h
    Position : approx. 4.5 km/h
    CUTTING HEIGHT
    Shut off the motor before adjusting the
    cutting height.
    Do not set the cutting height so low that
    the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
    The mower is fitted with a single lever control for
    adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever out-
    wards and adjust the cutting height on one of the
    nine positions to be most suitable for your lawn
    (fig. 17).
    MAINTENANCE
    Neitherthemotornorthelawnmower
    may be serviced before the ignition ca-
    ble is removed from the spark plug.
    Stop the motor and remove the spark
    plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
    e.g. with transportation.
    If the lawn mower needs to be tilted it
    should be tilted so that the spark plug
    faces upwards. Tilt the lawn mower
    when the fuel tank is empty.
    CLEANING
    After each time it is used the mower should be
    cleaned. This is particularly important on the un-
    derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the
    garden hose. The mower will then last longer and
    function better.Note! High pressure washing units
    should not be used.
    If grass has dried on to the cutterhead casing it can
    be removed by scraping. If necessary, give the un-
    derside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.Clean the silencer and the surrounding
    area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
    flammable waste products.
    Take off the transmission cover by removing the
    screwsS(fig. 28) and clean the area around the
    transmission (*) and drive belt (*) using a brush or
    compressed air. Clean once or twice a year.
    You should clean the inside of the drive wheels (*)
    once every season. Remove both wheels. Brush or
    blow-clean the gear and the wheels gear ring from
    grass and dirt (fig. 18). Refit the wheels.
    COOLING SYSTEM
    Before using the lawn mower, the engine’s cooling
    system must be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cool-
    ing flanges and air inlet to make sure they are free
    from grass, dirt, etc.
    LUBRICATING THE DRIVESHAFT (*)
    You should grease the key on the driveshaft once
    every season. Remove the wheel (hub cap, screw
    and washer). Then remove the E-circlip and wash-
    er to enable the gear to be removed from the shaft.
    Grease the key with universal grease.
    Refit the key (different key fitments on right- and
    left-hand sides, see fig. 19-20). Install the gear so
    that the L mark will be facing outwards on the left-
    hand side, and the R mark facing outwards on the
    right-hand side (mower viewed from behind).
    CHANGING OIL
    Replace the oil when the engine is warm
    and the fuel tank is empty. Take care
    whiledrainingastheoilishot,thisisto
    prevent burns.
    Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-
    ation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of op-
    eration or once a season. Remove the dip stick, tilt
    the mower and let the oil run out into a container.
    Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.
    Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-
    30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.
    Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
    on the dip stick.
    AIR FILTER
    A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
    output and increases engine wear. 
    						
    							ENGLISHGB
    Briggs & Stratton LS 45 (fig. 21):Carefully re-
    move the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into
    the carburettor. Take out the foam-plastic filter and
    wash it in liquid detergent and water. Dry the filter.
    Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze it in. Refit
    the air cleaner.
    Clean the filter every three months or after every
    25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More often
    if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.
    Briggs & Stratton ES 45, XTE 50 (fig. 22):
    Loosen 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.
    Clean the filter every three months or after every
    25 hours of use, which ever occurs first. More of-
    ten if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.
    Honda GCV (fig. 23):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.
    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.
    Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use or
    once a season. More often if the lawn mower is
    used on dusty ground.
    SPARKING PLUG
    Never remove the spark plug or the igni-
    tion lead when checking to see if there is
    any spark, always use an approved test
    instrument.
    Clean the sparking plug regularly (every 100 hours
    of use). Use a wire brush for cleaning.
    Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are ex-
    cessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The rec-
    ommendations of the engine manufacturers are as
    follows (fig. 24):
    Briggs & Stratton: Champion J19LM (RJ19LM).
    Spark gap 0.76 mm.
    Honda GCV: NGK BPR6ES.
    Spark gap 0.7 - 0.8 mm.
    BATTERY (*)
    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 starter key, it may be because the
    battery is “dead”.
    Remove the battery by releasing the the battery as-
    sembly from the mower using a screwdriver
    (fig. 25). Connect the enclosed battery charger to
    the battery, and then connect the charger to a wall
    socket and charge for 24 hours (fig. 26).
    After charging, connect the batterys contactor to
    the engines contactor and reinstall the battery as-
    sembly (fig. 27). Note! The battery charger must
    not be connected to the engine terminal. The en-
    gine cannot be started by using the charger as a
    source of power supply, and the charger will be
    damaged.
    WINTER STORAGE
    Remove the battery and store for the winter well-
    charged (see above) in a dry and cool place (be-
    tween 0° C and +15° C). At least once during the
    winter storage period the battery should be mainte-
    nance-charged.
    Before the start of the season the battery should be
    charged once again for 24 hours.
    ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH CABLE (*)
    If the drive does not engage when the coupling
    clamp is pressed against the handle, or if the lawn
    mower feels cumbersome or slow, the reason may
    be that the coupling in the transmission slips. To
    rectify this situation, adjust the clutch cable as fol-
    lows:
    1. Remove the transmission cover by unscrewing
    the screwsS(fig. 28).
    2. When the clutch loop is released it should be
    possible to pull the mower backwards without
    any resistance. If this is not the case, loosen the
    locking nutUand screw in the nippleTuntil the
    mower can be moved backwards (fig. 29).
