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,
SG” SAE 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.

OPERATING THE MOWER
Controls
Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables
move freely. Check that the engine stop lever returns freely to it’s 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
‘fast’ position 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.

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 ‘C’ type 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 “top” the 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
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
2
1CG480V05A
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of the
grass height in one cut.

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.
