Preparation and inspection before starting
5. PREPARATION AND INSPECTION BEFORE
STARTING
The lawnmower is supplied without oil and fuel!
It is necessary to add oil and petrol before fi rst starting the lawnmower.
IMPORTANT! Running the engine without a suffi cient amount of oil will result in irreversible damage to the
engine.
ADDING MOTOR OIL
pour in motor oil with the lawnmower level and the engine turned off.
Use type 15W-40 oil. The capacity of the oil tank is approx. 0.6 litres.
Pull out the oil dipstick (fi g. 3 – point 1) and pour in the oil. Wipe the dipstick and insert it back into the
engine but do not turn it. Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level. The oil level must be between the
minimum and maximum level marks (fi gure 3 – points 2 and 3).
ADDING PETROL
Attention:petrol is fl ammable!
Petrol can easily cause a fi re. When in the vicinity of petrol, do not smoke and keep open fl ames or a sources of
sparks away from it.
When the engine is cold, pour petrol with an octane number 90 or higher into the fuel tank. Pour in the petrol in
a well ventilated location with the engine turned off. Do not smoke.
Do not pour in too much fuel to prevent overfi lling the fuel tank. Check that the fuel tank cap is sealing properly.
If you spill some fuel, remove all remains before starting the engine, otherwise there exists a fi re hazard.
Store petrol in a location that is suffi ciently far away from fi re. Avoid long term contact with petrol and breathing in
petrol vapours. Keep away from children!
