CUTTING TIPS
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
loose stones, toys and other hard objects.
Locate any fixed objects before mowing a lawn
you are unfamiliar with. Loose and/or fixed ob-
jects can seriously damage the cutting deck.
Do not cut wet grass (during or immediately after
rain).
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-
tating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is run-
ning.
If the engine has stopped due to the grass being too
thick: disengage the cutting deck and move the
machine to a cut area before engaging it again.
For optimum ‘Multiclip effect’, follow these tips:
- cut frequently.
- run the engine at full revs.
- keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
- use sharp blades.
- do not cut wet grass.
- cut twice (with different cutting heights) if
the grass is long.
OPERATION
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when mowing on slopes (oil level on
“FULL“).
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when mov-
ing up or down a slope. Never cut across
a slope. Move from the top down, and
from the bottom to the top.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, may not be driven on slopes
greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the ma-
chine from tipping over or you losing
control of the machine.
MAINTENANCE
No servicing may be carried out on the
engine or cutting deck unless:
-theenginehasstopped.
-the starter key has been removed.
-the spark plug cable has been removed
from the spark plug.
-the parking brake has been applied.
-the cutting deck is disengaged.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
The machine is designed to stand on its end during
maintenance work (fig. 7).
If the machine is to stand on its end, the
petrol and engine oil must have been
drained out first.
CLEANING
Rinse clean the underside of the cutting deck with
the garden hose.
NOTE! Do not aim the jet directly at the transmis-
sion or the air filter.
OIL CHANGE, ENGINE
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-
ation, and subsequently every 50 hours of opera-
tion or once a season. Change oil when the engine
is warm.
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF,
SG or SH).
The engine oil may be very warm if it is
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. Therefore, allow the engine to
cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Tilt the machine to the left (machine viewed
from the rear). Unscrew the oil drain plug J (fig. 8).
Let the oil run out into a collection vessel. Do not
allow oil to get on the V-belts. Screw in the oil
plug.
2. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil capacity: 1.4 litres
Oil type, summer: SAE-30
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil con-
sumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is
used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly
if you use this type of oil).
