Oil type, winter: SAE 5W-30
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
Check the oil level each time after filling. The lev-
el should be at "FULL".
LUBRICATION
The front axle has four lubrication points K
(fig. 9). Fill with grease (use a grease gun) once per
season.
Lubricate the steering pinions L with grease a cou-
ple of times per season (fig. 10).
Also lubricate the machine's other moving parts a
couple of times per season.
AIR FILTER
Important! Never run the engine without the air
cleaner being installed.
Foam filter (pre-filter): Clean every 3 months or
after every 25 hours of operation, whichever
comes first.
Paper filter: Replace annually or after 100 hours of
operation. More often if the machine works under
extremely dusty conditions.
1. Remove the air filter's protective cover and
foam filter (fig. 11).
2. Wash the pre-filter M in liquid detergent and wa-
ter. Squeeze dry. Pour a little oil on the filter and
squeeze in the oil.
3. Lift out the paper filter N and clean the air filter
housing carefully to prevent dirt getting into the
carburettor.
4. Clean the paper filter insert as follows: Knock it
lightly against a flat surface. If the filter is very
dirty, change it.
5. Assemble in the reverse order.
Petroleum-based solvents may not be used when
cleaning the paper filter. These solvents can de-
stroy the filter.
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be
oiled.
ENGLISH
KEEP THE ENGINE CLEAN
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling sys-
tem can damage the engine.
Clean the cylinder's cooling fins and air intake of
grass and dirt every 5 hours or daily (fig. 12). This
is particularly important when mowing dry grass.
Also clean around the silencer to avoid fire.
Use compressed air or a brush for cleaning. Do not
point jets of water directly at the engine.
When cutting dry grass for an extended period of
time, the engine's interior cooling fins may need to
be cleaned. Contact an authorised service station.
SPARK PLUG
Check and clean the spark plug every 100 hours of
operation.
Clean the spark plug with a wire brush (not sand
blasting) and reset the spark gap to 0.75 mm.
Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are exces-
sively burnt. For replacing a spark plug, a spark
plug sleeve and a torsion pin are provided in the
accessories bag.
The engine manufacturer recommends:
Champion J19LM or similar.
CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is correctly set at the factory and
no adjustment is normally required.
If the carburettor does need adjustment, contact a
service station.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH/BRAKE
If the drive belt slips (it can stretch slightly when it
becomes worn), there is an adjustment on the gear-
shift/brake linkage.
Adjustment: Move the locking pin O to the rear
hole (fig. 13).
The brakes are adjusted with nut P on the brake
arm (fig. 13).
After adjusting, make sure that the clutch is always
activated before the brake.
REMOVING THE CUTTING DECK
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Lift the machine and stand it on its end.
