ENGLISH  
The components for assembling the upper section  
of the steering are fitted for packing purposes. Re-  
move the components from the lower section of  
the steering.  
SYMBOLS  
The following symbols are displayed on the ma-  
chine in order to remind you about the safety pre-  
cautions and attention necessary when using the  
machine.  
Then attach the upper part of the handlebar with  
screws, washers and locking knobs (fig. 2).  
The handlebar has four different positions. Release  
the catch with the foot and move the handlebar to  
the desired position (fig. 3).  
The symbols mean:  
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and  
Safety Manual before using the machine.  
1. For normal mowing.  
2. For mowing under trees, shrubs etc.  
3. Parking position.  
Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware  
of objects being flung out.  
4. Transportation and storage position. The han-  
dlebar takes up less room if the locking knobs  
are loosened and the handlebar folded in.  
Warning! Do not put hands or feet under  
the cover of the machine when it is run-  
ning.  
CABLE HOLDER  
Put the wires into the cable holder (fig. 4).  
EYELET FOR STARTER HANDLE  
Warning! Before starting any repair work,  
remove the spark plug cable from the  
spark plugs.  
Attach the starter handle to the eyelet on the steer-  
ing handle (fig. 5).  
USING THE MOWER  
IMPORTANT  
BEFORE STARTING  
Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor  
speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex-  
haust emissions.  
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL  
The lawn mower is delivered without any  
oil in the engine crankcase. The crank-  
case must, therefore, be filled with oil be-  
fore the engine is started the first time.  
ASSEMBLING  
EJECTION SHIELD  
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7).  
Under no condition mustthe machine be  
started without the ejection shield being  
fitted on the machine. If it is not fitted,  
stones and other flying objects may eas-  
ily be ejected by the rotating blade.  
Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good  
quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE  
30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.  
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark  
on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.  
The parts for assembly of the ejector shield are at-  
tached to the packaging. Remove the parts and as-  
semble the ejector shield according to fig. l.  
Tighten the screws securely.  
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL  
Check before using the machine that the oil level is  
between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the  
dipstick. Stand the lawn mower on a level surface.  
HANDLEBAR  
Hinge up the lower part of the handlebar.

ENGLISH  
Briggs & Stratton:  
Keep hands and feet well away from the  
rotating blade. Never put your hand or  
foot under the blade casing or in the  
grass evacuation unit while the engine is  
running.  
Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 6). Slide it down  
completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up  
again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with oil  
up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.  
Tecumseh:  
STOP OF ENGINE  
Clean the area round the oil plug, then remove the  
plug (fig. 7). If the oil is not level with the edge of  
the hole, carefully pour in clean oil. Replace the oil  
plug.  
The engine may be very warm immedi-  
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the  
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it  
can cause burns and injury.  
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK  
1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 8) to stop the  
engine. This loop must not be disengaged(e.g.  
through fixing it in the depressed position  
against the steering), as the engine cannot be  
stopped.  
Fill with petrol before starting the en-  
gine. Never remove the filler cap or fill  
with petrol while the engine is running  
or still warm.  
Never fill the fuel tank completely full  
but allow a little room for the petrol to  
expand.  
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove  
the lead from the spark plug.  
CUTTING HEIGHT  
Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never  
use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.  
Shut off the engine before adjusting the  
cutting height.  
Note that you should always remember that petrol  
is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol  
than what you can use up in 30 days.  
Do not set the cutting height so low that  
the blade can hit uneven ground.  
Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The grass  
then sticks to the underside of the casing, giving  
poor mowing results.  
STARTING THE ENGINE  
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do  
not start in high grass.  
The cutting height can be adjusted to three posi-  
tions by moving the wheel axles (fig. 11).  
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to  
the spark plug.  
If the start/stop loop no longer works,  
stop the engine by removing the lead  
from the spark plug. Immediately take  
the lawn mower to an authorised work-  
shop for repairs.  
3. If the lawn mower is equipped with a throttle le-  
ver, set throttle lever B in full throttle position  
(fig. 8).  
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the  
primer fully three times (fig. 9, 10).  
MAINTENANCE  
When starting a warm engine the primer does  
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a  
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer  
three times.  
No service is to be made on the engine or  
lawn mower without first switching off  
the engine and removing the spark plug  
cable from the spark plug.  
5. Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the steer-  
ing. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be  
kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from stop-  
ping (fig. 8).  
Stop the engine and remove the spark  
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,  
e.g. with transportation.  
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by  
pulling briskly on the starter handle.  
If the machine is to be tilted the fuel tank  
must be emptied and the sparking plug  
of the engine kept upwards.  
7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should  
always run the engine at full-speed.

Tecumseh:  
CLEANING  
Check the air filter after every 25 hours of use,  
more often if the engine is used in dusty condi-  
tions. If the foam filter is dirty or blocked it should  
be replaced.  
After each time it is used the mower should be  
cleaned. This is particularly important on the un-  
derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the  
garden hose. The mower will then last longer and  
function better.  
Dismantle the cover A. Clean inside the cover A  
and the filter support E, (fig. 13). Soak the foam  
filter C with two teaspoons (approx. 20 ml) of en-  
gine oil. Massage the filter with a clean cloth to re-  
move any excess oil. Also check the seal D,  
replace it if damaged or deformed.  
High pressure washing units should not be used. If  
grass has dried on to the mower casing it can be re-  
moved by scraping. If necessary, give the under-  
side a touch of paint to prevent rusting.  
Clean the silencer and the surrounding  
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and  
flammable waste products.  
Refit the cover A.  
SPARKING PLUG  
Never remove the spark plug or the igni-  
tion lead when checking to see if there is  
any spark, always use an approved test  
instrument.  
COOLING SYSTEM  
Before use, the engine's cooling system should be  
cleaned. Clean the cylinder's cooling fins and the  
air intake, removing any grass cuttings, dirt and the  
like.  
Clean the sparking plug regularly (every 100 hours  
running). Use a wire brush for cleaning and adjust  
the correct spark gap (fig. 14).  
CHANGING OIL  
Change the oil when the engine is warm  
and the petrol tank is empty. Hot oil will  
run out of the engine better. Use caution  
when draining the hot oil, as it could  
cause burn injuries.  
Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are ex-  
cessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The rec-  
ommendations of the engine manufacturers are as  
follows:  
Champion J19LM (RJ19LM) or another equiva-  
lent spark plug ought to be used in Briggs & Strat-  
ton engines. Spark gap 0.76 mm.  
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-  
ation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of op-  
eration or once a season. Remove the dip stick, tilt  
the mower and let the oil run out into a container.  
Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.  
Champion RJ17LM, RJ19LM or another equiva-  
lent spark plug ought to be used in Tecumseh en-  
gines. Spark gap 0.6 mm.  
Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-  
30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.  
Fill until the oil reaches the "FULL/MAX" mark  
on the dip stick.  
CHANGING BLADES  
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts  
when changing the blade.  
AIR FILTER  
Blunt and damaged blades tear off the grass and  
spoil the look of the lawn after mowing. New, well  
sharpened blades cut the grass cleanly, so that the  
lawn looks green and fresh even after mowing.  
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine  
output and increases engine wear.  
Briggs & Stratton:  
Always check the blade after an impact. First dis-  
connect the ignition cable. If the blade system has  
been damaged the defective parts must be  
changed. Always use genuine spare parts.  
Carefully remove the air cleaner so that no dirt  
falls down into the carburettor (fig. 12). Take out  
the foam plastic filter element and wash it in liquid  
detergent and water. Dry the filter element. Pour a  
little oil on the filter element and squeeze it in. Re-  
fit the air cleaner.  
To replace the blade, slacken the blade bolt. Fit the  
new blade so that the stamped STIGA logotype is  
turned facing the blade attachment (and not facing  
the grass). Refit the washer and blade bolt. Tighten  
the blade bolt fully to a torque of 40 Nm (fig. 15).  
Wash the filter every three months or every 25  
hours running, whichever comes first, or more fre-  
quently if used in dusty conditions.

ENGLISH  
When replacing the blade, the blade bolt should  
also be replaced.  
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,  
blade holder or engine caused by running into ob-  
stacles.  
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and  
blade bolt, always use original spare parts. Non-  
authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of per-  
sonal injury or damage, even if they fit the ma-  
chine.  
SHARPENING OF THE BLADE  
Sharpening of the blade must be done by wet meth-  
od grinding, using a whetstone or a grindstone.  
For the sake of safety, the blade should not be  
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temper-  
ature could cause the blade to become brittle.  
Once the blade has been sharpened, it  
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-  
bration damage.  
STORAGE  
WINTER STORAGE  
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run  
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in  
the tank for more than one month.  
Tip up the mower and screw out the sparking plug.  
Pour a teaspoon of engine oil in the sparking plug  
hole. Pull out the starting handle slowly so that the  
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the  
sparking plug.  
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in  
a dry place.
