Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial setup involves attaching the handle bars and ensuring the cables are properly routed without kinks. Before the first use, you must fill the engine with high-quality 4-stroke engine oil (check the dipstick level) and fill the tank with fresh unleaded petrol.
Care Instructions:
- After-Use Cleaning: Remove grass clippings from the underside of the steel deck after every use to prevent rust and ensure airflow.
- Oil Changes: Perform an oil change at the intervals specified in the user manual to prolong engine life.
- Blade Maintenance: Periodically check the blade for dullness or damage and sharpen or replace as needed to maintain a clean cut.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area. If storing for the winter, ensure the fuel tank is drained or treated with a fuel stabilizer.
