2. Fill fuel tank with unleaded petrol
Petrol is highly flammable so extreme caution must be
taken when handling it. Always store petrol in approved
containers and you must ensure that you use fresh
petrol that is less than three months old. Do not mix oil
with petrol.
To put petrol in the fuel tank, remove the warning label
from under the petrol cap. It's best to fill the tank using
a clean funnel, but never fill it completely, see fig.8. In-
stead, leave at least 10 mm from the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for expansion. Ensure that you securely
tighten the petrol cap after filling.

3. Cutting height adjustment
For best results adjust the cutting height of your mower
to suit your mower conditions. Do not try to remove too
much grass in one pass.
Adjustment of the cutting height is made centrally. Turn
off the mower and take the weight of the mower by lifting.
Take hold of the Cut Height
Adjustment Lever, positioned on the mower's right-hand
rear wheel.
Move the lever outwards to release it from its locating
notch. Move the lever towards the fornt of the machine to
increase the cutting height and towards the rear to reduce
the cutting height. Return the lever to the locating notch to
set the desired cutting height. Make sure the handle fits
snugly and securely into its serrated holder (fig. 9).
Starting the engine
• Start the mower in a clear, level area. Do not start
• Check that the fuel tap is in the „ON" position (fig. 10)
