2. Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick (24) by turning
approximately a quarter turn in an anti clockwise
direction and lift the cap outwards. Clean the oil
dipstick (24) with a clean cloth, cleaning away
any visual oil (Fig W).
3. FOR A NEW LAWN MOWER, add 500ml of
4 stroke SAE 10W/30 engine oil.
4. Insert the oil dipstick back and secure the oil
filler cap (24) by turning approximately a quarter
turn in a clockwise direction.
5. Again remove the oil dipstick (24) and check the
oil level. It should be at the top of the full
(H marking) indicator on the dipstick (Fig X).
6. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill.
Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute
and then recheck the oil level.
7. Replace and tighten the oil filler cap / dipstick
(24). Always ensure the oil filler cap is firmly
locked in place before the engine is started.
NOTE: Do not allow engine to run low on oil as it will reduce the life of
the engine.
NOTE: Do not over fill with oil above the full indicator mark.
Fuelling
IMPORTANT: Fuel goes off after about 3-4 months. If you find your lawn
mower does not start, first change the fuel in the tank with newly purchased
fresh unleaded fuel. Do not use ethanol based fuels.
WARNING. Do not refill fuel tank while engine is running or is hot.
• Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into the fuel.
• Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
• Ensure you DO NOT fuel the lawn mower in close proximity to any open
flames, lit cigarettes, or hot objects.
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (26) and pour fresh unleaded fuel into the tank
with the aid of a funnel. (Fig Y )
2. Fill the tank to approximately 2.5 cm below
the lowest portion of the neck to allow for fuel
expansion. Be careful not to over fill or spill any
fuel. If this happens, wipe the spill with a
clean rag.
3. Start the engine at least 3 metres away from the
area where the fuel tank has been filled in order
to avoid the risk of fire.

Preparing for Operation
Operation
Adjusting the Cutting Height
The mower has one lever to easily adjust the
cutting height. There are 8 height settings.
NOTE: Always try to adjust the cutting height of
the lawn mower while positioned on the area of
grass you plan to mow.
It is recommended to start on a higher setting and
mow a trial area of lawn before deciding on the
final cutting height position. Then readjust if
necessary.
1. To increase the cutting height pull the height
adjustment lever (18) outward towards the
wheel, and move it up a notch, towards the rear
of the lawn mower. (Fig Z)
2. To decrease the cutting height pull the height
adjustment lever (18) outward towards the wheel,
and move it down a notch, towards the engine. (Fig AA)
3. After adjustment, ensure the lever is fully located in the selected notch.
Starting the Engine (Electric / Key Start)
NOTE: Before starting the mower check the oil and fuel levels. The engine
MUST be filled with 500ml of SAE 10W/30 engine oil BEFORE starting. Fresh
unleaded fuel must be used in this unit.
DO NOT use Ethanol based fuels. Do NOT mix oil with fuel.
Warranty will be void if the engine becomes faulty due to insufficient oil and
fuel levels.
For starting, ensure the mower is set to the highest height setting so the
blades are not resting deep into the grass.
NOTE: The engine of this lawn mower does has an automatic choke start
and operation feature, and no priming bulb, hence no priming or choke
adjustment is required before starting the engine.
