Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Upon delivery, assemble the mower by attaching the handle components. Ensure all nuts and bolts are securely tightened. Add the included 600ml of engine oil to the oil reservoir before the first start. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded petrol.
Compatibility:
This petrol mower is suitable for medium to large lawns. It is designed for cutting grass and is compatible with standard unleaded petrol. Ensure the grass is not excessively wet or long for optimal performance.
Care:
- Engine Oil: Check oil level before each use and change according to the engine manual (typically after the first 5 hours and then every 50 hours or annually).
- Fuel: Use fresh, unleaded petrol. Do not leave fuel in the tank for extended periods (over 30 days) without using a fuel stabilizer.
- Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions.
- Spark Plug: Inspect and clean or replace the spark plug annually.
- Blade: Check the cutting blade for damage and sharpness. Have it sharpened or replaced as needed.
- Deck Cleaning: After each use, use the garden hose connection to rinse grass clippings from the underside of the cutting deck. Allow the mower to dry before storing.
- Storage: Clean the mower thoroughly. Engage the blade brake. Store in a dry, sheltered location. Fold the handles for more compact storage. Consider draining the fuel for long-term storage (over 3 months).
