6. Operation
Note:
For detailed information on starting the engine, re-
fer to the enclosed manual from Briggs & Stratton.
Important.
The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore,
be sure to add oil before starting the engine for
the fi rst time. You will also need to fi ll in petrol, as
this is also not supplied upon delivery.
Whenever you need to perform any adjustment
and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait until
the blade has come to a complete stop. Always
switch off the engine before carrying out any ad-
justments, maintenance or repairs.
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.

The mower unit must be switched off.
•
The operator must be sat on the seat.
