STORING AND MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning  
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, switch Off the engine and wait  
until the blade has come to a stop.  
WARNING!  
General Cleaning  
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly every time after it has been used. Always clean your lawnmower  
immediately after use. Do not allow grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on any of the mower surfaces.  
Dried grass remnants and dirt may impair the mowing operation.  
Check that the grass chute is free of any residual grass. Remove any such residue. Check the underside of the lawn  
mower and the blade mount .Tilt the lawn mower onto its left side (opposite the oill filler neck)  
Before placing the lawn mower on its side , fully drain the fuel tank using a fuel  
extraction pump.  
NOTE!  
Do not tilt the lawn mower by more than 90 degrees.  
Maintenance Of The Spark Plug

STORING AND MAINTENANCE  
How to Service the Air Filter  
As shown in Fig 21  
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supplying too little air to the carburetor. Ff the air contains a lot of dust, the  
air filter should be checked more frequently .  
Never run the engine without the air filter element installed.  
WARNING!  
Fig 21  
1. Remove the air cleaner outside cover (A). Becareful to prevent dirt and debris  
from falling into the air cleaner assembly.  
2. Separate the Air Filter (A) from the Air Filter Housing (B).  
3. Inspect the air filter. Clean dirty air filter with warm water and mild soap.  
Allow air filter to dry thoroughly before re-installation  
4. Install the air filter assembly onto the carburetor and secure with screw.  
Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the filter. Pressurized air can damage  
the filter and solvents will dissolve the filter.  
NOTE!  
Changing The Engine Oil  
Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil filler, have a container ready to catch the oil and remove the dipstick. Once the oil has  
been emptied, replace the dipstick and wipe clean any spillages.  
Refill with 17 oz./500ml SAE30 oil or equivalent i. e SAE5W/30, SAE10W/30. When the dipstick is rested on the filler  
pipe (i. e . not turn in pace), the oil level must be between the min and max marks on the dipstick.  
See “Checking the engine oil level and filling with engine oil ”  
Start the engine and allow it to run briefly.  
Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top up if necessary .  
20  
STORING AND MAINTENANCE  
Replacing The Blade  
For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an authorised service  
workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.  
Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade  
stops completely.  
WARNING!  
You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench(not provided) to  
remove the blade.  
WARNING!  
Don’t invert the mower. Tip it slightly towards the oil filler pipe and reach under the deck.  
NOTE!  
Always handle the blade with care, sharp edges could cause injury USE GLOVES. Renew  
your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs whichever is sooner regardless of condition.  
WARNING!  
If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.  
WARNING!  
Don’t hold the blade by with your bare hand.  
WARNING!  
Maintain the sharpness of the blade when cutting grass. If the blade has worn excessively  
and become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or sharpened. The sharpness of the  
NOTE!  
blade will affect the performance of the lawnmower.  
Fig 22  
For safety reasons we recommend that the blade only be changed by someone  
qualified and authorized to do so.  
Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counterclockwise using a spanner  
wrench. Remove the washer and the blade.  
Fit a new blade or re-sharpen the blade, locate the blade on the two studs on  
the blade flan and then replace the washer and bolts. Make sure the blade is  
correctly located, and then firmly tighten the bolt. Do not over tighten. The up  
turn of the blade must project into the motor compartment.
