HOW TO GET MOWING
YourMountfield lawnmower does not contain petrol or oil and these must be added before use. Running the mower with
insufficient oil can cause serious damage to the engine and will invalidate your warranty.
NEVER TIP THE MOWER ON ITS SIDE AS THIS WILL FLOOD THE AIR FILTER WITH OIL.
To access the underside, lift thefront wheels by lowering the handle unitl it rests on the ground.
Carefully remove the mower from the carton and read these Operating Instructions. An Owner's Manual for the engine is also
included, please read this before starting the engine.
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the com-
ponents already fitted.
Attach the bottom of the handle (1) to the holes on the
side of the chassis. Secure it using the nuts and bolts supplied
(2). Fit the top of the handle (3) using the nuts and bolts (4) pro-
vided, ensuring that the spiral (5) of the starter cable is posi-
tioned correctly.
On some models: connect the engine brake cable (6) by
attaching the wire terminal (7) to the hole on the control lever (8).
Fasten the cable support (6a) to the handle using the nuts and
bolts (9) as shown.
Attach the control cables using the able ties (10).
Carefully detach the plate (1) and washers (2) from the top
of the grass-catcher (3). Eliminate the washers (2) and fit the
plate (1) onto the top of the grass-catcher (3) so that it clicks into
place. Assemble the two parts of the grass-catcher (3) and (4),
making sure that the hooks are fully locked into place and fas-
ten them using the screws supplied (5).
