Checking the oil
CAUTION. The lawn mower is shipped without oil. Do
not start your lawn mower before ensuring it has been
filled with the right amount of correct grade oil. Refer to
the oil recommendations section of the Briggs & Stratton
instruction manual for this information.
1. Move the lawn mower to a
level surface and clean around
the oil filter cap (8) .
2. Remove the oil filter cap with
dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth. Replace it and
retighten the cap.
3. Remove the dipstick again and
check the oil level, the oil should
be at the full mark.
4. If oil is required add it slowly
(the oil capacity is about
0.6 litre), do not over fill.
5. Retighten the oil filter cap firmly
before starting the engine.
Starting the engine
Note. Before starting the mower check the oil and fuel levels.
Note. Ensure that the spark plug RJ19LM is fitted before
starting the mower.
1. Move the throttle lever (3) to the cold start position.
2. Push the primer bulb firmly 5 times (for initial starting) or
3 times (for engine starting thereafter).
3. Disengage the brake by pulling the brake lever (14)
toward the handle. Letting go of the lever will prevent the
mower from starting or will stop the engine, if running.
4. While holding the brake lever inward pull the recoil starter
(9) lightly until you feel resistance then pull quickly until
the engine starts. Do not pull the cord with a jerk or
release it until fully rewound.
5. Once the lawn mower has started and warmed up move
the throttle lever to the Run position while continuing to
hold the brake lever.
Stopping the engine
To stop the engine reduce
the speed of the engine by
pulling the throttle lever (3)
towards the tortoise and
release the brake lever
(14). In an emergency just
release the brake lever.
Mowing advice
1. It is recommended to use the fast throttle setting and
keep the engine running at maximum speed. This will
deliver the best cut and increase engine life. If the speed
of the engine slows this could indicate the mower is being
overloaded, by trying to cut to much grass. Try mowing a
narrower strip, mowing slower or raise the cutting height.
2. Before you begin mowing always check and clear the
grassed area for all foreign objects. Especially solid ones
that can be semi concealed in the ground such as rocks,
stumps and garden stakes.
