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.

ENGLISH  
Note that you should always remember that petrol  
is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol  
than you can use up 30 days.  
3. 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).

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.

ENGLISH  
Briggs & Stratton LS 45 (fig. 21): Carefully re-  
move the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into  
the carburettor. 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.

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.
