7 OPERATION
7.1 Before starting

Fig 5F
7.3 Operation procedures
During operation, tightly hold the brake handle with both hands.
Note: During operation, when the brake handle is released, the engine will
stop and thus stopping the lawnmower from operating.
CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine
is shut off.
1 Release the brake control handle to stop the engine and blade.
2 Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire as instructed in the separate engine manual
to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.
7.5 Connection for auto move
Turn the Self-drive control handle , the lawnmower will move forward utomatically with about 1
m/s.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of
the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be
promptly inspected and repaired

7.9 Deck
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of
grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite
rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the
mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is
disconnected).
7.10 Height adjustment instructions
Caution: before changing mowing height, stop mower and disconnect spark
plug cable.
Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing mower cutting height.
The central height adjustment lever offers you 5(=POW63753), 10(=POW63757-63760)
different height positions.
To change the height of cut, squeeze adjuster lever toward the wheel, moving up or down
to selected height. (Fig.7a,b)
All wheels will be in the same height of cut.
8 MAINTENANCE
8.1 Spark plug
Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100
hours of use. (refer to ENGINE OWNER'S MANUAL)
8.2 Lubrication instructions
1 WHEELS-Lubricate the ball bearings in each wheel at least once a season with a light oil.
2 ENGINE-Follow engine manual for lubrication instructions.
3 BLADE CONTROL-Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control handle and the brake
cable at least once a season with light oil. The blade control must operate freely in both
directions.
9 CLEANING
CAUTION: Do not allow dirt or dust to clog the air filter foam element.
The engine air cleaner element must be serviced (cleaned) after 25 hours normal mowing.
The foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower is used in dry dusty conditions.
(refer to ENGINE OWNER'S MANUAL)
CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the spark plug wire before
working on the cutting blade to prevent accidental engine starting. Protect
hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades.
Tip mower as specified in separate engine manual. Remove the hex bolt and washer which
hold the blade and blade adapter to the engine crankshaft. Remove the blade and adapter
from the crankshaft.
For best results your blade should be sharp. The blade may be resharpened by removing it
and either grinding or filing the cutting edge keeping as close to the original bevel as possible.
It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to
prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance will result in excessive vibration
causing eventual damage to the engine and mower. Be sure to carefully balance blade after
sharpening. The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver.
Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.
Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine
crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil. Install the blade adapter on
the crankshaft with the "star" away from the engine. Refer to figure 9. Place the blade with the
part number facing away from the adapter. Align the washer over the blade and insert the hex
bolt. Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed below:
9.3 Blade mounting torque
Center Bolt 40Nm.min, 54Nm.max. To insure safe operation of your unit. ALL nuts and bolts
must be checked periodically for correct tightness.
After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the blade will become worn and lose
some of the original shape. Cutting efficiently will be reduced and the blade should be
replaced. Replace with an approved factory replacement blade only. Possible damage
resulting from blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
When you change the blade, you must use the original type marked on the blade (for order the
balde, pls. contact your local dealer or call our company, see cover page)
9.4 Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual for engine maintenance instructions. Maintain engine oil
as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow
instructions carefully.
Service air cleaner as per separate engine manual under normal conditions. Clean every few
hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine perform ance and flooding usually
indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced.
To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset once a season. Spark plug replacement
is recommended at the start of each mowing season; check engine manual for correct plug
type and gap specifications.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing
area) clean to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life.
Be certain to remove all grass, dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.
