6. Operation
Note!
The engine comes without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol befo-
re starting the engine.
1. Check the oil level (see 7.2.1).
2. Use a funnel and measuring jug to fi ll the tank
with petrol. Make sure that the petrol is clean.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes.
3. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to
the spark plug.
Carrying out a safety test on the engine start/
stop lever
The lawn mower comes equipped with an engi-
ne start/stop lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1a) in order to
prevent it from starting up unintentionally and to
ensure that the engine and blade stop quickly in
case of danger. The lever must be actuated (Fig.
5b) before the lawn mower is started. When the
engine start/stop lever is released, it must return
to its initial position (Fig. 5a).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this process several times in order to ensure that
the lever and actuator cables are working pro-
perly.
Repeat the test several times after the engine
has started up. When the engine start/stop lever
is released, the engine must stop within a few se-
conds. If not, contact Customer Service.
