INSTALL ATTACHMENTS

Your lawnmower was shipped ready to be used as a rear bag mower.

The mower has three different operating modes.

1. Collecting:

• Fit the grassbox by lifting the rear flap on the mower and hook the front of the box to the shaft on the

mower.

• Lower the flap to lock the grassbox in position.

• When the box is full, the grass will be visible through the viewing window in the top of the box.

• Stop the engine before emptying the grassbox.

2. Rear Discharge:

• With the grassbox removed and the rear flap in the down position, the mower will cut and discharge the

grass from the rear of the machine.

3. Mulching:

• Fit the mulch plug to the rear discharge opening of the mower and close the rear flap.

• The mower will now recycle the chopped grass into the lawn surface.

• To mulch efficiently only cut one third of the length of the grass.

SET UP YOUR MOWER

IMPORTANT: Unfold the handle carefully so

as not to pinch or damage the control cables.

1. Depress the Operator Presence Control Bar

(OPC) and raise the handles until the lower handle

section locks into place at the mowing position.

2. With the Operator Presence Control Bar still

depressed raise the upper handle section into place

on the lower handle and tighten both handle knobs.

5

OPERATION

Operator Presence Control (OPC) Bar - must be held down to the handle to start the engine. Release to

stop the engine.

Starter rope - used to start the engine.

Drive control lever - used to engage self- propelled motion of the lawn mower.

LAWNMOWER ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed was set at the factory for optimum performance. Speed is not adjustable.

DRIVE CONTROL (Model: WER18SP)

z The drive is controlled by holding the Operator Presence Control bar down to the handle and pulling

the drive control lever back towards the handle.

z Forward motion will stop when the operator presence control bar is released. To stop forward motion

without stopping the engine release the drive control lever until the drive control disengages and hold the

operator presence control bar down against handle to continue mowing without the drive.

ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT

Lower the cutting deck for a low cut and raise the deck for a high cut; adjust cutting height to suit your

requirements. Medium position is best for most lawns.

6

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE ADD OIL

Before each subsequent use the oil level must be checked and if necessary topped up with SAE30 engine

oil.

OIL FILLER CAP/DIPSTICK

Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in the engine.

CAUTION: DO NOT overfill the engine with oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffler on startup.

1. Be sure that the lawnmower is on level ground.

2. Remove the oil dipstick from the oil fill spout.

3. Insert and tighten the dipstick.

IMPORTANT:

z Check the oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill to the full line on the dipstick.

z Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or each season. You may need to change the oil

more often under dusty, dirty conditions. See “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL” in the Maintenance

section of this manual.

ADD PETROL

z Fill fuel tank to the bottom of the tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

petrol. Do not mix oil with petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to

assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use petrol near an open flame.

FUEL TANK CAP

UPPER LIMIT

LOWER LIMIT

7

CAUTION: To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before being stored for 30 days

or more. Empty the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburettor are empty.

Use fresh fuel for your next use of the machine. See Storage Instructions for additional information.

Never use engine or carburettor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

START ENGINE

To start the engine, first make sure that the spark plug is tightened and that the machine is filled with

sufficient oil and petrol.

NOTE: Due to the protective coating on the engine, a small amount of smoke may be present during the

initial use of the product and should be considered normal.

Press the primer bulb 3 times to allow fuel into the engine (for the first use, press 5 times).

Hold the Operator Presence Control bar down to the handle and pull the starter handle quickly.

Do not allow the starter rope to snap back.

STOP ENGINE

z To stop engine, release the Operator Presence Control bar.

z Disconnect the spark plug cap if the lawnmower is to be left unattended.

MOWING TIPS

z Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of the cut to

reduce the pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass

clippings. It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawnmower over the area a

second time.

z For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping the previously cut area and mow

slowly.

z Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust during use and catchers will collect

less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose the catcher off with water and let it dry before using.

z Keep the top of the engine around the starter clean and clear of grass clippings and chaff. This will

assist engine air flow and extend engine life.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT-Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and original

performance of the machine unchanged over time.

1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Regular

maintenance is essential for safety and performance.

2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where vapour may reach a flame,

spark or source of extreme heat.

3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.

4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area

free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Remove grass cuttings from containers before storage.

5) Do not use equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts should be replaced not repaired. Only use

genuine spare parts. Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the equipment and create safety

hazards.

6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is cool.

7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.

8) Check the blade’s balance after sharpening.

8

9) Check the self-closing guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.

10) Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must:

- Wear strong working gloves.

- Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, clear of the blade and taking account of the weight

of the machine and its distribution.

CLEANING

Your lawnmower has been supplied with a hose pipe connector towards the back of the deck. This enables

you to clean your machine, using your garden hose. Clip the hose to the machine using a standard hose

connector. Turn on your tap. Ensure that any trailing hose is away from the machine deck. Start the

machine. The momentum of the blade rotation will force water around the deck to clean it.

Carefully clean the machine after each cut to ensure an easy start-up next time you use the machine. Be

sure to remove grass debris and mud accumulated inside the chassis before it dries.

If you need to tilt the mower while cleaning always tip it backwards towards the handles, do not tip it on

its side as this will cause oil to enter the carburettor or exhaust.

The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off over time due to the abrasive action of the cut

grass; when this occurs you must touch up the paintwork using a rustproof paint as soon as possible to

prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.

Remove the transmission casing by removing the screws and clean around the transmission and drive

belts with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.

Once every season, the drive wheels should be cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the gear

wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt using a brush or compressed air.

CHANGING BLADES

Empty the oil tank before removing the blade.

To replace the blade, undo the screw.

Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly. Tightening torque 45 Nm.

When replacing the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.

STORAGE

The same petrol must not remain in the tank for more than one month.

Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in a dry place.

THE ENVIRONMENT

In order to protect the environment, we recommend that the following points should be given special

consideration:

z Always use pure unleaded petrol.

z Always use a funnel and/or petrol can with a level control to avoid spillage when refilling the fuel

tank.

z Do not fill the fuel tank completely.

z Do not overfill with engine oil.

z When changing the oil, ensure that all the used oil is collected. Avoid spillage. Take the used oil to a

recycling unit.

z Do not dispose of used oil in a rubbish bin. Take it to a recycling unit.

z Replace the silencer if faulty. Always use the Manufacturer’s original spare parts.

z Always seek professional help when the carburretor requires adjustment.

z Clean the air filter according to the instructions.

SYMBOLS

The following symbols can be found on the machine to remind you of the care and attention that are

required during use. The symbols mean:
