Do not remove the pull cord from the guide. э To engage the drive to the rear wheels on Power Driven models, pull and hold the Clutch lever against the handle. To stop the drive, release the clutch lever. | | | NOTE: Priming is usually unnecessary when starting a warm engine. However, in cool weather it maybe necessary to push the primer bulb 3 times. If the engine stopped because it ran out of fuel, refuel and press the primer bulb 3 times. STOPPING YOUR MOWER » Release the Operators Presence Control (OPC) lever; this will engage the engine brake and operate the ignition safety cut out device. I a ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF CUT | | Hand Propelled models have adjusters at each wheel; Self Propelled models have adjusters on each of the front wheels, with a single one at the rear. The height of cut adjustment not only determines the length of the cut grass, it also controls the airflow which carries clippings into the collector. If the discharge chute becomes blocked, increase the airflow by raising the height of cut. To prevent blockages when cutting long, thick grass, set the adjustment to the highest setting and cut the grass; then cut it again on a lower setting. | To adjust the height of cut: e stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug. e put the mower on a level surface. e adjust the cutting height levers by pulling outwards and moving into the required position (Figure 7). e ensure that all of the levers are set at the same cutting height position. | | Figure 7 BEFORE EACH USE | e Always ensure that the mower is in a safe working condition. Inspect the cutter blade for damage; check safety devices and guards; check that all nuts, bolts and screws are secure. e Check the oil level as follows: a) Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean (Figure 8). b) Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and tighten down again. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Oil should be at the FULL mark, (Oil capacity is about 20 fluid oz or 0.6 litre) c) Ifthe oil level is low, add Mountfield oil part number MX855 or a SAE 10W-30 oil, to the upper limit on the dipstick. NOTE: Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use as described in the engine Operator's Manual. a Fill the fuel tank with unieaded petrol. Do not overfill; the petrol level should be below the bottom of the fuel tank neck. | PROBLEM SOLUTION Check there is ample clean, fresh fuel in the tank. | Engine will not start Check the cutter blade is not fouling the ground preventing free rotation. Check the Operators Presence Control (OPC) lever is fully released. | Engine will not stop Remove spark plug lead to stop engine using insulated gloves and refer to dealer. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead using heat resistant gloves. Failure to cut grass properly Check blade attachment bolt is tight. Check condition of blade. If seriously worn or damaged replace with a new one. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead using heat resistant gloves. Check and make sure there is no build up of grass inside the casing. Check arass catcher is allowina air to flow throuah the fabric: if it is cloaaed it should be washed Failure to collect grass properly carefully, If the grass catcher is not clogged raise the height of cut to increase airflow. Check to ensure the engine is running at the correct speed, (approximately 3000rpm). If conditions are too severe to use the grass catcher, remove it and work with the deflector in position. This will certainly indicate that the blade has become hadlv damaaed. Ston the enaine. disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the blade assembly. Refer to your local dealer. Machine vibrates excessively Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before working on the machine. DO NOT TIP \ THE MOWER ONTO ITS SIDE AS THIS WILL FLOOD THE AIR FILTER WITH OIL. To access the 2 underside of the machine, lift the front wheels by lowering the handle until it rests on the ground. CUTTER BLADE Examine the cutter blade regularly for wear or damage. э A slightly worn blade can be re-sharpened by your local dealer. a Ifthe blade is damaged it should be replaced. Replacement blade kits are available from your local B&Q store. Telephone 0115 976 6886 if you need help to identify the correct replacement blade kit for your mower. CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT (Self Propelled model only) Make sure that the clutch lever is fully released. Loosen the screw securing the clutch cable bracket to the handle. Slide the bracket along the handle to take up any slack in the cable. Tighten the screw securing the clutch cable bracket to the handle. | Engage the clutch lever and check that the rear wheels lock when the mower is pulled backwards. Start the mower and ensure it does not drive when the lever is disengaged. | | 6 6 © 6 6 @ ENGINE An engine manufacturer's Owner's Manual is supplied with your mower. Please read this, it provides detailed information on engine operation and maintenance. Repair work other than routine maintenance, should be carried out by an authorised dealer. STORAGE A little time spent on your mower after use will ensure many years of reliable mowing. To access the underside of the cutter deck, ensure the spark plug lead is disconnected, then lift the front wheels by lowering the handle until it rests on the ground. Do not tip the mower onto its side, as this will flood the air filter with oil. AFTER EACH USE e Remove any grass pulp from the underside of the cutter deck using a non-metallic instrument such ; as a piece of wood. Take care not to damage the paintwork. e Examine the cutter blade for any damage. A damaged blade may upset the balance of your mower and cause excessive vibration, if in doubt refer to your dealer. e Inspect the grass collector and clean it if necessary. If the mesh panels become clogged airflow will be reduced and impair grass collection. a 3 The handie can be folded down to reduce the amount of storage space required. Take care not to trap any of the operating cables when folding or unfolding the handle. Store the mower in a clean, dry area well away from any naked flames, sparks or heat source. LONG TERM - If you are not using your mower for more than 28 days. Give the machine a thorough clean, paying particular attention to the underside. Polish the paintwork and touch up any chips or scratches. Drain the fuel tank, as described in the engine Owners Manual, and run the engine until it stops. If fuel is left in the engine for long periods it will evaporate and leave gum on sensitive carburettor parts. Lubricate all moving parts. At the end of the season, arrange for your dealer to carry out an annual service.

Technical information POWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual engine model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Re- vision 2002-05). Given both the wide array of products on which our engines are placed, and the variety of en- vironmental issues applicable to operating the equip- ment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will not deveiop the rated horsepower when usedin a piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” power). This dif- ference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the following: differences in altitude, temper- ature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lu- brication, maximum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner in which the en- gine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match the values de- rived using the foregoing codes.

Use of i synthetic oii does not alter required oil change intervals. Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity olls (5//-30, 10W-30, etc.)in temperatures above 40 F (49 C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently. SAE 30 oil, if used beiow 40° F (4° C), will result In hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication. Check oil level. (Oil capacity is about 20 0z. or 0.6 liter.) Place engine level and clean around oil fill €. Remove dipstick, wipe with clean cloth 8, insert and tighten down again. Remove dipstick and check oil level. Oil should be at FULL mark €. If oil is required, add slowly. Tighten dipstick firmly before starting engine. Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause: 1. Smoking, 2. Hard starting, 3. Spark plug fouling, 4. Oil saturation of air filter Fuel Recommendations Use clean, fresh, lead-free, regular gasoline with a ~ minimum of 77 octane. Leaded gasoline may be used if it is commercially available and if unieaded is unavail- able. Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days. See Storage. in U.S.A. leaded gasoline may not be used. Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasolines, are gasolines blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of aicohol or ether. This engine is certified to operaie on gasoiine. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications). Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
