ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE OIL

See figure 3.

Engine oil has a major in

fl

 uence on engine performance 

and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE 
10W-30 is recommended. Always use a 4-cycle motor oil 
that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service 
classi

fi

 cation SJ.

NOTE: 

Non-detergent or 2-cycle engine oils will damage 

the engine and should not be used.

To add engine oil:

■

Ensure that the mower is level and area around oil cap/
dipstick is clean.

■

Remove the cap and seal from oil bottle.

■

Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.

■

Slowly add oil. Fill to the “Full” line on dipstick. Do not 
overfill.

NOTE: 

When checking the oil level, seat the dipstick in 

the oil fill hole but do not screw in.

■

Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick and secure.

To check engine oil:

■

Ensure that the mower is level and area around oil cap/
dipstick is clean.

■

Remove the oil cap/dipstick. Wipe clean and reseat in 
oil 

fi

 ll hole but do not screw in.

■

Remove the oil cap/dipstick again and check oil level. 
Add oil as needed.

STARTING/STOPPING THE MOWER

See figure 3.

 WARNING

Never start or run the engine inside a closed or poorly 
ventilated area; breathing exhaust fumes can kill.

STARTING THE ENGINE

■

Firmly push the primer bulb 3 times.

NOTE: 

This step is not usually necessary when starting 

an engine that has already run for a few minutes.

■

Hold the operator presence control bar down against 
the handle.

■

Pull the starter cord until the engine runs. Do not pull 
the starter grip more than 4 times. Release the starter 
cord slowly so the rope does not snap back.

NOTE:

 It may be necessary to repeat priming steps in 

cooler weather. In warmer weather, overpriming may cause 

fl

 ooding and engine will not start. If you do 

fl

 ood the engine, 

wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not 
repeat priming steps.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Release the operator presence control bar and allow the 
engine to come to a complete stop.

PROPELLING THE PRODUCT

See figure 4. 

■

To self-propel: Hold down the operator presence control 
while pulling the drive control lever towards the handle. 
Release the drive control lever to stop the wheel drive.

■

To manually propel: Hold down the operator presence 
control. Do not engage the drive control lever.

SETTING BLADE HEIGHT

See figure 5.

When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low- 
cutting position. Before using the mower for the 

fi

 rst  time, 

adjust the cutting position to the height best suited for your 
lawn. The average lawn should be between 38 mm to 50 
mm during cool months and between 50 mm and 76 mm 
during hot months.

To set the blade height:

■

Stop the product and wait for the blade to come to a 
complete stop.

■

To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment 
lever and move it toward the back of the mower.

■

To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment 
lever and move it toward the front of the mower.

MOWING TIPS

■

Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and 
other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades 
or engine. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by 
the mower in any direction and cause serious personal 
injury to the operator and others.

■

For best performance, always cut off one-third or less of 
the total height of the grass.

■

When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow 
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the 
clippings.

■

Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the 
deck and prevent proper bagging or discharge of the 
grass clippings.

■

New or thick grass may require a narrower cut path.

■

When the fuel tank is empty and before refuelling, tip 
the mower on the left hand side with the fuel cap at the 
highest position. This will prevent fuel spillage. Remove 
the spark plug lead to prevent accidental starting. The 
blade is sharp, avoid contact with it. Check the blade 
and underside of deck for any damage or build up of 
debris. Clean if necessary. Check security of the blade 
bolt.

SLOPE OPERATION

See figure 6.

■

Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall
