Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: Unpack the mower and attach the handle using the provided screws. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
Oil and Fuel: Before first use, add oil to the engine (consult the owner's manual for the correct type and amount). Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded petrol.
Cutting Height Adjustment: Adjust the cutting height using the lever on the mower deck. Choose a height suitable for your grass type and desired finish.
Starting the Engine: Engage the autochoke, pull the starter cord, and the engine should start. Allow the engine to warm up before engaging the blade.
Cleaning: After each use, clean the underside of the deck to remove grass clippings. This prevents the buildup of debris and helps maintain the blade's performance.
Storage: When storing the mower, drain the fuel tank to prevent fuel degradation and potential starting issues. Store the mower in a dry, covered area.
