CHECKING THE AIR CLEANER
CAUTION:
• Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air filter,
or with an improperly installed air filter cover will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
To check the condition of the air
cleaner:
1. Remove wing nuts [1] and
cover [2].
2. Check the cleanliness of filter
elements [3] and [4], If the
elements are dirty, follow the
cleaning procedure (see
"Maintenance" chapter page
3. Refit cover [2] and wing nuts [1].
NOTE:After cleaning the air cleaner element, replace cover and
push fully home. It the cover wing nuts are not correctly tightened,
the cover will not remain in place and the engine will not operate
correctly.
CHECKING CUTTING MEANS
CONDITION
CAUTION:
• Do not tilt the lawnmower with the carburetor facing down; this will
make the lawnmower difficult to start later, due to engine oil
contaminating the air cleaner.
To check cutting means condition:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Pull off the spark plug cap.
3. Place the lawnmower on its side
[A], so that the carburetor is facing
upwards (left side).
• Check if the cutting means [5]
shows signs of wear or damage
and replace it if necessary.
• Check that cutting-means screws
[6] are tightened (see
"Maintenance" chapter
• For cutting means replacement
or removal/ installation, refer to
the procedure described in the

The cutting height settings are approximate values, the actual
height of the cut grass varies with the lawn and ground condition. To
choose the cutting height, check how the lawn looks after mowing a
small area and adjust the cutting height where necessary.

NOTE:
• Do not cut more than 1/3 of
the initial height of the grass in
one passage as brown spots
will appear. The cut will be
cleaner and this will limit the
amount of jamming.
• If the lawn is too high, mow at the maximum permissible height of
the lawnmower. Mow the lawn again 2 or 3 days later.
• The depth of the roots is proportional to the height of the grass
cuttings: the shorter the cut, the shallower the roots.
• Choose a cutting height suited to the use of the lawn: leisure,
sport: 5 cm or more, ornamental: 1 to 3 cm.
• Only some species of lawn can endure short cuts. If a lawn is cut
too short, it is fragile and susceptible to dryness. Please ask the
advice of a specialist.
