CARE OF THE LAWN AND MOWING
The modern gardening technology has designed and developed labour-saving devices
(mower with grass collection bag). For a good, healthy green lawn, it is essential to
mow and aerate it regularly.
Fertilising is also essential.
Always make sure the blades are sharp and in perfect conditions to avoid grass fraying
and yellowing of the lawn. .
You will achieve a clean cut with regular and straight windrows.
The mowing tracks should always overlap a few centimetres to avoid any uncut strips
in between.
Lawn cutting frequency depends on the rate of growth. In the main growing season
(May-June) often (twice a week) or at least once a week. The cutting height should
be between 4-6 cm. and the growth before the next cut should not be more than 4-
5 cm.
During hot and dry periods, the lawn should be cut 1,5 cm. higher than normal, to
avoid ground and root drying out.
If the grass is somewhat higher than normal, you should not make the mistake of
cutting it immediately; you can damage the lawn. Do no cut to more than half the
necessary height.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (starts at page 87)
Before mowing, remove all foreign objects from the lawn which may be thrown by the machine. While mowing, stay alert for any foreign objects which may have been
missed.
Never place your hands or feet underneath the deck or into the rear discharge chute while the engine is running.
OPERATION
PUTTING THE RIDE-ON LAWNMOWER INTO OPERATION FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Don’t put the ride-on lawnmower into operation before you have completely finished its
assembly. Before putting the ride-on lawnmower into operation for the first time, don’t
forget to fill it with petrol and oil. Connect the red cables to the positive terminal and the
black cables to the negative terminal (the battery is placed in battery holder under the
motor safety housing on the right of the seat).
Petrol lead free (min. octane rating 77)
engine oil SAE 30 ("SE", "SF" O "SG")
The ride-on lawnmower may be put into operation for the first time only by trained
persons only who have read and fully understand the operating instructions.
Use the following on your ride-on lawnmower:
STARTING THE ENGINE
Start up the engine only after filling the tanks with sufficient petrol and oil.
Carefully follow the instructions in the enclosed engine manufacturer’s operating and maintenance manual.
REFUELLING (starts at page 87)
Danger of explosion! Fill the tank only only in an open area! Never refuel while the engine is running or is very hot! Do not
smoke!
The petrol tank is placed in the engine block below the seat.
1. Lift the seat
2. Unscrew the tank cap (23) and fill up with lead-free petrol.
3. Screw the tank cap back.
TOPPING UP WITH OIL
Use only oil of type SAE 30 (“SE”, “SF” or “SG”). Ensure that no oil is spilt
onto the ground.
The oil filler cap is placed in the engine block, below the seat.
1. Lift the seat
2. Unscrew the oil filler cap (24)
3. Fill up the oil until the “MAX.” mark on the dip stick is reached

ELECTRIC ENGINE START
The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and deadly gas. Never start the engine in closed or badly ventilated
rooms.
Look for a flat piece of ground with short grass for starting the engine.

5. Turn the key to the right and release it, after starting in “RUN” position. The green light positioned beneath the steering wheel control remains on. Should the engine
fail to start within 5 seconds, to avoid damaging the battery, wait a further 10 ten seconds before trying again.
7. Set the lever (6) between and until you judge the revs to be correct for your work
Do not touch ignition key while running.
