MOWER  
BEFORE STARTING THE  
Prevent Engine Damage  
To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or  
petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and  
petrol before starting the engine.  
Oil Type  
Always use high quality detergent oil classified For service SE, SF,  
SGSAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oils.  
SAE 10W-30 multigrade oil may be used, but this will result in higher  
engine operating temperatures with consequential high oil consump-  
tion. It is imperative that the oil level is checked more frequently if this  
grade of oil is used in order to guard against serious engine damage.  
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed  
after the first 5 hours of use - refer to Maintenance Schedule.  
Check Oil Level  
0.15  
Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a  
level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil  
Litres  
from it with a clean cloth. Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place,  
then unscrew and remove it to check the oil level.  
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick.  
15C  
DO NOT OVERFILL.  
Fuel Type  
Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities  
that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added  
engine protection Briggs & Stratton recommend the use of their fuel  
additive which is available from an authorised Briggs & Stratton serv-  
ice dealer.  
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the  
fuel tank.

move freely. Check that the engine stop lever returns freely to its rest  
position when released.  
Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance  
should be felt when moving the lever to the choke’  
position.  
Starting - Step 1  
Move the throttle control lever to the choke’  
position before start-  
ing a cold engine. Move the throttle control lever to the ‘fast’  
position before starting a warm engine.  
CS177  
Step 2  
Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the  
engine stop lever with your left hand. With your right hand hold the  
engine start - grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rap-  
idly to crank the engine. Carefully return the start grip to the storage  
position when the engine starts.  
If the engine does not start after 5 attempts - refer to Trouble  
Shooting.  
The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to  
start and keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is  
released the engine will stop.  
Step 3  
Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the  
fastposition after starting a cold engine.  
To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the  
engine is running.

OPERATING THE MOWER  
Height of Cut  
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking  
notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height  
of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks  
firmly into one of the seven notch settings.  
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent  
engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass  
conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.  
CS287  
30513  
Before Mowing  
To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all  
objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could  
become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstruc-  
tions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health  
and safety. Remember the location of these obstructions and  
ensure that you mow around them.  
1.16

OPERATING THE MOWER  
Heavy Growth  
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip-  
pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grass-  
bag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to  
dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting  
with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area  
again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.  
305113  
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of grass  
height in one cut.  
Cutterblade Operation  
Hayter balanced Ctype cranked cutterblades are fitted to this  
machine. They are designed to swing on the shoulder of the  
Cutterblade bolt when encountering a fixed object. Keep cutterblades  
sharp and ensure they are secured correctly.  
CS126  
Non-Grassed Areas  
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the engine  
and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting  
mechanism.

LAWN CARE CALENDAR  
To be used as a guide only.  
January  
There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away  
leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.  
February  
Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil  
organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.  
March  
The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as  
the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first  
cut should merely topthe grass as close cutting at this stage could  
result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally suffi-  
cient this month.  
April  
Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of  
coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.  
May  
Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selec-  
tive weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not  
feed the lawn in April.  
June  
Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to  
mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this  
month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control.  
Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.  
July  
Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed  
killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a gen-  
eral rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If  
weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the  
clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.  
1.18

LAWN CARE CALENDAR  
August  
Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks  
caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weath-  
er conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture.  
September  
Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the  
roots from the winter frost and snow.  
October  
Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in  
drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.  
November  
Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf  
free from leaves.  
December  
Apart from brushing away leaves, December is a slack end of a busy  
year. Keep off the lawn if it is very wet or frozen.  
Lawn Stripes  
1
The way to achieve a neat striped effect is for the lawn being cut in  
parallel stripes, alternate stripes being mown in opposite directions. A  
much more important routine is to cut at right angles to the line of the  
previous mowing. If the work has been carried in a north-south line,  
then the next cutting should be in an east-west direction. The cross-  
cutting keeps down the coarse weed grasses.

1CG480V05A  
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of the  
grass height in one cut.

ing fins and surfaces may require cleaning to prevent overheating and  
engine damage. We recommended that this service be carried out by an  
authorised Briggs and Stratton dealer.

MOWER MAINTENANCE  
Cutterblade Removal  
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Never work on the cut-  
terblades unless the spark plug lead has been removed. The cut-  
terblades have sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to pro-  
tect your hands when working on the cutterblades. DO NOT rotate  
tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury should  
the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement parts.  
A
A
A

B
The condition of the cutterblades and the mounting arrangement  
should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure  
that the cutterblades are not bent or cracked.  
Regularly check that the bolts securing the cutterblades and fric-  
tion disc are secure.  
A - Cutterblade bolt torque setting 19Nm (14lbs.ft).  
B - Bottom plate bolt torque setting 54Nm (40lbs.ft).  
A damaged cutterblade will cause the cutting mechanism to be out  
of balance and excessive vibration will occur which may lead to  
breakage. DO NOT use unbalanced cutterblades.  
Replace the cutterblades every 2 years or sooner if excessively  
worn or damaged.  
Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty. Remove the spark plug  
lead and allow the engine to cool. Turn the mower on its left hand side  
and ensure that the air cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.  
Remove the cutterblade nuts and bolts to remove the four cutterblades.  
WARNING- PREVENT ACCIDENTS: ALWAYS renew all four  
cutterblades to ensure the cutting mechanism is balanced, NEVER  
replace cutterblades individually. ALWAYS use new bolts, nuts  
and washers when fitting new cutterblades.

MAINTENANCE  
Storage  
MOWER  
To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficient-  
ly to allow it to be pivoted forwards to rest against the mower. Take  
care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the  
pivot point and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being dam-  
aged through contact with the engine spark plug.  
Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Briggs &  
Stratton fuel additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in  
the fuel system or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower  
is maintained in good working order it is important that the following  
procedure is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.  
Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops.  
Disconnect the spark plug lead.  
Change the engine oil.  
Remove the engine spark plug and pour 15ml of engine oil into the  
engine cylinder and replace the spark plug. Do not exceed the stated  
volume of oil as engine damage may occur on re-starting. Do not  
replace the spark plug lead. Slowly pull the engine start - grip once  
to crank the engine. This will distribute the oil and help prevent engine  
corrosion.  
Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling  
fins, under top cowl, and around and behind exhaust/exhaust guard.  
Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.  
Lubricate the mower.  
Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.  
Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilat-  
ed area.
