in towards the handlebar and unfold the handlebar to the
operating position, before releasing. (Refer fig.2)
Tighten both handlebar knobs to secure in position.
Take care to ensure that the control cables do not
become snagged at the pivot point.
Grassbag Assembly
Before first use assemble the grassbag and frame. Slide
the frame (1) into the grassbag (2), ensuring that the han-
dle is above the grassbag as shown. Attach plastic clips
(A), (B), (C) and (D) to the grassbag frame. (Refer fig.3)
Raise the rear deflector, lower the grassbag and hook in
position. Lower the deflector to rest on the grassbag.
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. (Refer fig.4)
Oil Type
Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30
oil. Never use additives with recommended oil.
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
Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With
the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the
oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.
Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then unscrew
and remove it to check the oil level. (Refer fig.5)
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on
the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. (Refer fig.5)
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 service
dealer.
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not
overfill the fuel tank. (Refer fig.6)
