Ensure that the upstop latch (A9) attached to the lower handle (A8) is at the righthand side when viewed from the rear. 2. Place the end (C2) of the lower handle into the slots (C1). Insert the pins (C3) and secure with the retaining clips (C4) Fitting the Upper Handle (A3) to the Lower Handle (A8) q The upper handle can be fitted in two different positions by using either the middle or upper hole to fit the bolt, washer and handle knob as described below. 1. Ensure the Plastic Switch Housing (A2) is on the left-hand side when viewed from the rear. 2. Align the lower and upper handles (see fig. 'D'). Locate the bolts (D1), washers (D2) and secure with the handle knobs (D3). 3. Secure the cable to the handles with the clips (A4) provided. Ensure the cable is not trapped between the handles. Handle Position The handle position can be altered by lifting up the upstop latch and moving it to the required position (See Fig F). Parking Position (See Fig F) Mowing Position (See Fig E) 5 Starting and Stopping Before Starting your Lawnmower Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Clean around fuel cap (A10). 2. Remove cap. 3. Add fuel mix (See page 4 Fuel mixing instructions) 4. Never use stale fuel left from last season or fuel which has been stored for long periods. 5. Refit fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled fuel. USING THE ENGINE PRIMER (A17) FIRST START - or after running the fuel tank dry. Squeeze both sides of primer 15 - 20 times in line with coloured rib (See Fig G). COLD START - if the engine is cold and there is fuel in the tank. Squeeze both sides of primer 8 - 10 times in line with coloured rib (See Fig G). WARM START - if the engine is warm and there is fuel in the tank - DO NOT USE THE PRIMER. If the engine has run out of fuel, refil tank and prime 8 - 10 times. To Start your Lawnmower 1. Move the handle to the Parking position (See Fig F). 2. Connect the spark plug lead (A18) (See Fig H). 3. Pull and firmly hold the Operator Presence Control (A1) to the upper handle.

Ensure the Operator Presence Control is released, when the engine has stopped rotating - disconnect the spark plug lead. 2. Turn your lawnmower upside down. 3. Remove the blade bolt (L1) and blade (L2) as described in Removing the Blade and Fan below. 4. For a Lower Cut - Add spacers (L3) to a maximum of 3. 5. For a Higher Cut - Take spacers (L3) away. 6. Refit the blade as described in Fitting the Blade and fan below. How to Mow 1. Place the handle in the mowing position (See Fig E). Start from the edge, mow in a clockwise direction (See fig. M). 2. Mow twice a week in the growing season. Your lawn will suffer if more than one third of its length is cut at one time. M Removing & Fitting the Blade & Fan Removing the Blade and Fan q Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. q If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one. 1. Ensure the Operator Presence Control is released, when the engine has stopped and the blade has stopped rotating - disconnect the spark plug lead. 2. Turn your lawnmower upside down. 3. To remove the blade bolt (L1), hold the fan (L4) firmly and with the spanner provided loosen the blade bolt by turning it anticlockwise. 4. Remove the blade bolt (L1), blade (L2), spacers (L3) and fan (L4). 5. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary. Fitting the Blade and the Fan q Before using always visually inspect to see that blades and bolts are not worn or damaged. q Never use more than 3 cutting height spacers. q Spacers can only be fitted between the blade and the fan and never between blade and the bolt. 1. Ensure the fan is located correctly. 2. Place the spacers (L3) onto the fan ensuring the pegs (L5) have located into the holes (L6). 3. Place the blade (L2) onto the spacers (L3) ensuring the pegs (L7) have located into the holes (L8) on the blade and ensuring the blade is positioned as illustrated in Figure L. 4. Place the blade bolt (L1) through the centre hole (L9) of the blade. 5. Tighten down clockwise by hand. 6. Hold the fan firmly and tighten the blade bolt with the spanner provided. (GB) ADJUSTMENT 7 Caring for your Lawnmower If you do not intend to use your lawnmower for long periods it is advisable to follow this procedure after use:1. Release the Operator Presence Control (A1). 2. The engine will begin to stop, tilt the lawnmower (See Fig K). 3. Once the engine has stopped, disconnect the spark plug lead (A18) (See fig H). 4. Remove all fuel from the fuel tank. Cleaning q Keep your lawnmower clean - grass clippings left in any of the air intakes, around the engine or under the deck could become a potential fire hazard. q Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or solvents - some can destroy critical plastic parts. 1. Remove grass from under the deck with a piece of wood or similar. 2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from around the engine and from all air intakes. 3. Remove the fan, See 'Removing and Fitting the Blade and Fan', and clean with a soft brush. 4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth. At the end of the Mowing Season. q Release the Operator Presence Control, wait until the blade has stopped and disconnect the spark plug lead BEFORE attempting any maintenance or adjustment. 1. Allow the engine to cool. Drain the fuel tank (Fuel left in the engine becomes stale and causes difficult starting.) 2. Remove the spark plug lead and spark plug. Pour one teaspoon (5ml) of oil through the spark plug hole. Pull the starting handle 2 or 3 times. This will distribute oil on the internal surfaces of the engine. Inspect, clean and replace the spark plug.
