CAUTION: your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than 250mm.

Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire hazard.

6.6 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING

Clear lawn of debris: Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects, which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects.

Avoid cutting wet grass: For effective mowing do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings.

General Recommendations: Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing.

Clean the underside of the deck: Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.

WARNING: if the mower blade strikes a foreign object, then stop the engine. Remove the wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of serious damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

6.7 GRASS CATCHER

Empty and clean the bag, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated to improve airflow and grass collection.

Fig. 11D

6.8 DECK

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).

6.9 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to the lawnmower without first stopping the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire.

CAUTION: before changing the mowing height, stop the mower and disconnect spark plug cable.

Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 10 height positions.

- 10 -

Fig.12B

1. Stop the mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing the mower cutting height.

2. The central height adjustment lever offers you 10 different height positions.

3. To change the height of cut, squeeze the adjuster lever towards the wheel, moving up or down to the selected height.

(Fig.12B)

All wheels will be in the same height of cut.

7. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

SPARK PLUG

Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use.

8. LUBRICATION INSTRUCIONS

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG BEFORE SERVICING.

1. WHEELS-Lubricate the ball bearings in each wheel at least once a season with a light oil.

2. ENGINE-Follow the engine manual for lubrication instructions.

9. CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not hose the engine. Water can damage the engine or contaminate the fuel system.

1. Wipe the deck with a dry cloth.

2. Hose under the deck by tilting the mower so that the spark plug is up.

9.1 ENGINE AIR FILTER CLEANER

CAUTION: Do not allow dirt or dust to clog the air filter foam element. The engine air cleaner element must be serviced

(cleaned) after 25 hours normal mowing. The foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower is used in dry dusty conditions.

9.2 CUTTING BLADE

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the spark plug wire before working on the cutting blade to prevent accidental engine starting. Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades .Tip the mower as specified in separate engine manual. Remove the hex bolt and washer which holds the blade and blade adapter to the engine crankshaft. Remove the blade and adapter from the crankshaft.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary.

For best results your blade should be sharp. The blade may be re-sharpened by removing it and either grinding or filing the cutting edge, keeping as close to the original bevel as possible. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance will result in excessive vibration causing eventual damage to the engine and mower. Be sure to carefully balance the blade after sharpening. The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.

Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter to the mower, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil. Insert the key into the blade adapter and Install the blade adapter on the engine crankshaft, push the washer into the blade adapter and install the blade, Refer to figure 14A. Place the blade with the part number facing away from the adapter. Align the washer over the blade and insert the hex bolt. Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed below:

Fig.14A

9.3 BLADE MOUNTING TORQUE

Center Bolt 35Nm-45Nm, to insure safe operation of your mower. All nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for correct tightness.

After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the blade will become worn and lose some of the original shape. Cutting efficiently will be reduced and the blade should be replaced. Replace with an approved factory replacement blade only. Possible damage resulting from blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

When you change the blade, you must use the original type marked on the blade (Cobra Part No 263001465 please contact your local dealer.)

9.4 ENGINE

Refer to the separate engine manual for engine maintenance instructions.

Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your mower. Read and follow instructions carefully.
