Note.
Use a wooden block to stop the blade from turning.
The blades should be tightened fully but check to ensure
they can still swing back if they were to hit a solid object.
If you do not have a torque wrench ask a mower service
dealer to tighten the blade bolts before you use the mower.
WARNING.
If the blade bolts are not tightened correctly
they could loosen and/or come out and it would be possible
for the blades to fly off while you are operating the mower.
Oil change
IMPORTANT.
Drain the oil while
the engine in still warm to ensure
rapid and complete draining.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/
dipstick (11) and tip sideways
to drain the oil.
2. Turn up right and clean up any
spillage and refill with SAE
10W/30 oil checking the level
as you go.
3. Rescrew on the oil filler cap/dipstick (11).
Note.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that
is compatible with the environment. We suggest you
take it in a sealed container to your local service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it into
the earth.
Air cleaner service
IMPORTANT.
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the
carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the
air clearer regularly.
Check that the air filter is clean
and dry of dirt. Filters thick
with debris will not allow the
engine to breath and result in
difficult starting and poor engine
performance.

remove the air filter (14) cover.
Be careful to avoid dust and
debris falling into the bottom

damaged air cleaner parts.
4. Install all parts back and reaffix
the air filter (14) cover to the
air filter (14).
CAUTION.
Never use fuel or low
burning point solvents to clean
the air cleaner element.
A fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION.
Clean the foam
element in a solution of household detergent and warm
water. Tap the element lightly several times on a hard
surface to remove excess dirt, or blow compressed air
through the filter from the inside out. Never try to brush the
dirt off.
Spark plug
To ensure the engine is operating correctly, the spark plug
must be properly gapped and free of carbon deposits.
Always check the spark plug cable is firmly fitted to the top
of the spark plug.
CAUTION.

be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
NOTE.

plug will be hot. Allow the engine
