HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil.
Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of fuel and
oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety,
operation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer’s
instructions for the type of fuel and oil to use. Always
use a safety petrol container. Do not smoke when
adding petrol to the engine. When inside an
enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you add
petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for
several minutes.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion
engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved
forest−covered, brush−covered or grass−covered land unless
the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester
meeting applicable local laws (if any). If a spark arrester is
used, it must be maintained in effective working order by the
operator.
CHECK THE TYRES
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with too much air pressure
will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will
keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure
(PSI) is 14 PSI (1 BAR). The tyres were over inflated for shipment.
CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE MOWER HOUSING
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short
distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does
not cut level, see the instructions on “How To Level The Mower
Housing” in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START MOWING
1. Check the engine oil.
2. Fill the fuel tank with petrol.
3. Check the level of the mower housing.
4. Check the air pressure of the tyres.
5. Attach the battery cables.
