Tighten the locking nuts to the lower part of the   BATTERY (*)   handle. When these are tightened, the height of   the handle can be adjusted by tightening the   screws B with the enclosed wrench (fig. 2).   Electrolyte in the battery is toxic and   corrosive. It can cause serious corrosion   damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin,   eyes and clothing.   ENGINE BRAKE CABLE   Before starting the mower the first time, you   should charge the battery for 24 hours. Refer also   to the section titled “MAINTENANCE, BAT-   TERY”.   Fit the engine brake cable to the engine brake,   (fig. 3). Note the cable should be fitted in the direc-   tion of the steering.   CABLE BEARER   Insert the starter key (*) into the ignition lock.   Attach the cables to the cable bearers (fig. 4) as fol-   lows:   USING THE MOWER   D: Start/Stop cable + Clutch cable (*)   E: Throttle cable(*) + Clutch cable (*)   F: Electric cable (*) + Variator cable (*)   BEFORE STARTING   FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL   EYELET FOR STARTER HANDLE   The lawn mower is delivered without   any oil in the motor crankcase. The   crankcase must, therefore, be filled with   oil before the motor is started the first   time.   Attach the starter handle to the eyelet on the steer-   ing handle (fig. 1).   VARIATOR LEVER (*)   When the lawn mower is supplied the variator ca-   ble is set so that the transmission will not be dam-   aged. It might be necessary to adjust the cable,   refer to the section “ADJUSTING THE VARIA-   TOR CABLE” in the “MAINTENANCE” section.   Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 8, 9, 10). Fill the en-   gine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil   (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE   10W-30 oil.   Slowly fill up to the “FULL/MAX” mark. Do not   fill with too much oil.   GRASS COLLECTOR   Raise the collector bin hatch and fit the two retain-   ers to the grass collector bin using the enclosed   screws. The retainers are marked L and R and   should be fitted at the corresponding marks on the   rear section of the mower (fig. 5).   CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL   Check before using the machine that the oil level is   between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the   dipstick.   Fabric collector bin (*): Pull the fabric collector   bag over the steel frame and snap the bag on the   plastic cover (fig. 6).   Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 8, 9, 10). Slide it   down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull   it up again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with   oil up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.   Plastic collector bin (*): Snap the two halves to-   gether and then the upper part (fig. 7).   FILL UP THE PETROL TANK   Open the hatch on the mower and hitch the grass   collector bin onto the retainers.   Fill with petrol before starting the mo-   tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill or   top up with petrol while the motor is   running or still warm.   Note that the mower can be operated without a   grass collector bin. The grass cuttings are then left   in a string behind the mower.   Never fill the fuel tank completely full   but allow a little room for the petrol to   expand.   Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never   use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Open the petrol tap (figs. 14).   4. Set the throttle control B to the choke position   . Note! A warm engine does not need to be   choked (fig. 15).   STARTING THE ENGINE   (Briggs & Stratton)   5. Press in the Start/Stop clamp G towards the   handle. Note! The Start/Stop clamp G must be   kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop-   ping (fig. 15).   1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do   not start in high grass.   2. Make sure that the spark plug lead is connected   to the spark plug.   6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by   pulling briskly on the starter cord.   3. If the lawn mower is equipped with throttle con-   7. When the engine has started, move the throttle   control backwards until the maximum engine   speed is obtained. Note! The engine should al-   ways be run at maximum engine speed to avoid   abnormal vibrations on the machine.   trol, set the throttle control B to the full throttle   position (fig. 15).   4. When starting a cold engine, press in the primer   fully three times (figs. 11, 12, 13).   When starting a warm engine, the primer does   not need to be pressed in. If the engine stops due   to a lack of petrol, refill with petrol and press in   the primer three times.   Keep hands and feet well away from the   rotating blade(s). Never put your hand   or foot under the blade casing or in the   grass evacuation unit while the motor is   running.   5. Press in the Start/Stop clamp G towards the   handle. Note! The Start/Stop clamp G must be   kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop-   ping (fig. 15).   STOPPING THE ENGINE   The motor may be very warm immedi-   ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the   silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it   can cause burns and injury.   6a.Manual starting. Grasp the starter handle and   start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter   cord.   1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 15) to stop the   engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.   through fixing it in the depressed position   against the steering), as the engine cannot be   stopped.   6b.Electric starting (*). Start the engine by turning   the starter key clockwise. Release the key as   soon as the engine starts. Always make short at-   tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg-   ing the battery.   To facilitate starting the engine, press down the   handle so that the front wheels lift slightly from   the ground. Do not start in tall grass.   Honda: Close the fuel cock.   2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove   the lead from the spark plug. Also remove the   starter key (*).   7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should   always run the engine at full speed.   If the start/stop loop no longer works,   stop the engine by removing the lead   from the spark plug. Immediately take   the lawn mower to an authorised work-   shop for repairs.   Keep hands and feet well away from the   rotating blade(s). Never put your hand   or foot under the blade casing or in the   grass evacuation unit while the engine is   running.   REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)   STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)   Engage the drive by pressing coupling clamp I   against the handle. Disengage the drive by releas-   ing coupling clamp I (fig. 15).   1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do   not start in high grass.   2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to   the spark plug.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   GB   ENGLISH   Clean the silencer and the surrounding   area regularly to remove grass, dirt and   flammable waste products.   SPEED (*)   Do not touch the variator control when   the motor is not operational. This can   have an adverse effect on the variator's   performance.   Take off the transmission cover by removing the   screws S (fig. 28) and clean the area around the   transmission (*) and drive belt (*) using a brush or   compressed air. Clean once or twice a year.   Set a suitable speed by moving the variator lever   into one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).   You should clean the inside of the drive wheels (*)   once every season. Remove both wheels. Brush or   blow-clean the gear and the wheels' gear ring from   grass and dirt (fig. 18). Refit the wheels.   The different positions have the following speeds:   Position : approx. 2.8 km/h   Position 2:   Position 3:   approx. 3.1km/h   approx. 3.6 km/h   COOLING SYSTEM   Position   : approx. 4.5 km/h   Before using the lawn mower, the engine’s cooling   system must be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cool-   ing flanges and air inlet to make sure they are free   from grass, dirt, etc.   CUTTING HEIGHT   Shut off the motor before adjusting the   cutting height.   LUBRICATING THE DRIVESHAFT (*)   Do not set the cutting height so low that   the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.   You should grease the key on the driveshaft once   every season. Remove the wheel (hub cap, screw   and washer). Then remove the E-circlip and wash-   er to enable the gear to be removed from the shaft.   Grease the key with universal grease.   The mower is fitted with a single lever control for   adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever out-   wards and adjust the cutting height on one of the   nine positions to be most suitable for your lawn   (fig. 17).   Refit the key (different key fitments on right- and   left-hand sides, see fig. 19-20). Install the gear so   that the L mark will be facing outwards on the left-   hand side, and the R mark facing outwards on the   right-hand side (mower viewed from behind).   MAINTENANCE   Neither the motor nor the lawn mower   may be serviced before the ignition ca-   ble is removed from the spark plug.   CHANGING OIL   Replace the oil when the engine is warm   and the fuel tank is empty. Take care   while draining as the oil is hot, this is to   prevent burns.   Stop the motor and remove the spark   plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,   e.g. with transportation.   If the lawn mower needs to be tilted it   should be tilted so that the spark plug   faces upwards. Tilt the lawn mower   when the fuel tank is empty.   Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-   ation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of op-   eration or once a season. Remove the dip stick, tilt   the mower and let the oil run out into a container.   Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.   CLEANING   Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-   30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.   Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark   on the dip stick.   After each time it is used the mower should be   cleaned. This is particularly important on the un-   derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the   garden hose. The mower will then last longer and   function better.Note! High pressure washing units   should not be used.   AIR FILTER   A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine   output and increases engine wear.   If grass has dried on to the cutterhead casing it can   be removed by scraping. If necessary, give the un-   derside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Take out the foam-plastic filter and   wash it in liquid detergent and water. Dry the filter.   Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze it in. Refit   the air cleaner.   BATTERY (*)   Electrolyte in the battery is toxic and   corrosive. It can cause serious corrosion   damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin,   eyes and clothing.   In normal use during the season, the battery is   charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be   started with the starter key, it may be because the   battery is “dead”.   Clean the filter every three months or after every   25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More often   if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.   Briggs & Stratton ES 45, XTE 50 (fig. 22):   Loosen the screw and fold down the cover of the   air cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge.   Knock it against a flat surface. Replace the filter   cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty.   Remove the battery by releasing the the battery as-   sembly from the mower using a screwdriver   (fig. 25). Connect the enclosed battery charger to   the battery, and then connect the charger to a wall   socket and charge for 24 hours (fig. 26).   Clean the filter every three months or after every   25 hours of use, which ever occurs first. More of-   ten if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.   After charging, connect the battery's contactor to   the engine's contactor and reinstall the battery as-   sembly (fig. 27). Note! The battery charger must   not be connected to the engine terminal. The en-   gine cannot be started by using the charger as a   source of power supply, and the charger will be   damaged.   Honda GCV (fig. 23): Remove the cover and take   out the filter. Carefully check the filter for holes or   other damage. A broken or damaged filter must be   replaced.   To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several   times against a hard surface or use compressed air   from the back of the filter to blow-clean. Do not try   to brush the filter clean as this forces dirt down into   the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced.   WINTER STORAGE   Remove the battery and store for the winter well-   charged (see above) in a dry and cool place (be-   tween 0° C and +15° C). At least once during the   winter storage period the battery should be mainte-   nance-charged.   Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use or   once a season. More often if the lawn mower is   used on dusty ground.   Before the start of the season the battery should be   charged once again for 24 hours.   SPARKING PLUG   ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH CABLE (*)   Never remove the spark plug or the igni-   tion lead when checking to see if there is   any spark, always use an approved test   instrument.   If the drive does not engage when the coupling   clamp is pressed against the handle, or if the lawn   mower feels cumbersome or slow, the reason may   be that the coupling in the transmission slips. To   rectify this situation, adjust the clutch cable as fol-   lows:   Clean the sparking plug regularly (every 100 hours   of use). Use a wire brush for cleaning.   Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are ex-   cessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The rec-   ommendations of the engine manufacturers are as   follows (fig. 24):   1. Remove the transmission cover by unscrewing   the screws S (fig. 28).   2. When the clutch loop is released it should be   possible to pull the mower backwards without   any resistance. If this is not the case, loosen the   locking nut U and screw in the nipple T until the   mower can be moved backwards (fig. 29).   Briggs & Stratton: Champion J19LM (RJ19LM).   Spark gap 0.76 mm.   Honda GCV: NGK BPR6ES.   Spark gap 0.7 - 0.8 mm.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   GB   ENGLISH   3. When the clutch loop is   pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi-   tion 1) there should be some   resistance when moving the   mower backwards. With the   clutch loop fully pressed in   (position 2) it should not be   possible to pull the mower   backwards. Loosen the lock-   ing nut U and screw out the   nipple T until this position is   achieved.   Always check the blade(s) after an impact. First   disconnect the ignition cable. If the blade system   has been damaged the defective parts must be   changed. Always use genuine spare parts.   To replace the blade, slacken the screw (fig. 30).   Fit the new blade so that the stamped logotype is   turned facing the blade attachment (and not facing   the grass). Refit the washer and screw. Tighten the   screw fully to a torque of 40 Nm.   When replacing the blade, the blade screw should   also be replaced.The guarantee does not cover   damage to the blade, blade holder or engine caused   by running into obstacles.   4. Finally tighten the locking nut U.   ADJUSTING THE VARIATOR CABLE (*)   When replacing the blade, the blade holder and   blade screw, always use original spare parts. Non-   authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of per-   sonal injury or damage, even if they fit the ma-   chine.   If the speed difference between the settings on the   variator control, which gives the highest speed   (position 3 and ), are judged to be too little or do   not exist at all it may be necessary to adjust the var-   iator cable (fig. 16).   SHARPENING OF THE BLADES   1. Run the mower in the   minutes.   position for a few   Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet   method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-   stone.   2. If there is any play on the variator cable by nip-   ple Y the cable must be adjusted. Loosen the   locking nut X and adjust the cable by screwing   out the nipple Y until the play on the cable is   taken up.   For the sake of safety, the blades should not be   sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temper-   ature could cause the blade to become brittle.   Once the blade has been sharpened, it   must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-   bration damage.   3. Tighten the locking nut X.   Note! Do not tension the cable more than neces-   sary, it should just sit in the nipple Y without play.   Too much cable tension will cause the drive belt to   break or result in damage to other parts of the   transmission. When adjusting after, e.g. fitting a   new belt, always start with the nipple Y screwed in   fully.   STORAGE   WINTER STORAGE   Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run   until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in   the tank for more than one month.   CHANGING BLADES   Use protective gloves to prevent cuts   when changing blades/knifeblades.   Tip up the mower and screw out the sparking plug.   Pour a teaspoon of engine oil in the sparking plug   hole. Pull out the starting handle slowly so that the   oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the   sparking plug.   Check the blade system regularly. Pay   special attention to the curved area be-   hind the blade edge for signs of wear   and tear (fig. 31). If the blade shows   signs of damage, it should be replaced. A   worn down blade creates imbalance and   can damage the mower.   Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in   a dry place.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
