Clip this into place underneath the side flap to achieve side discharge of the grass cuttings from the machine. Assembly is now complete, but before using the lawnmower, certain important checks MUST be made which are described in the following pages. ENGINE OIL IMPORTANT: THE ENGINE FITTED TO THIS LAWNMOWER IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT OIL DURING SHIPMENT. ENSURE THE ENGINE IS FILLED WITH THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF A SUITABLE OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. Serious damage may result if the engine is run without oil. 1. To fill with oil, remove the oil filler cap and fill to the MAX mark on the dipstick, using CLARKE SAE10W/30 4-stroke oil (part no;3050845 - not supplied). 2. Change the oil after the first five hours operation of a new mower (see Maintenance), and thereafter every 25 working hours. 3. ALWAYS change the oil while the engine is warm - but not hot. NEVER attempt any maintenance on a hot engine. 4. When checking the oil level, always clean around the dipstick before unscrewing it. Once removed, wipe it with a clean cloth then replace, screwing down fully. Remove once more and check the level. 5. Get into the habit of checking the oil level before each use. FUEL (PETROL) WARNING: PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE 1. Fill the fuel tank with regular grade unleaded petrol. 2. DO NOT fill or refuel when the engine is hot. 3. DO NOT fill the fuel tank whilst smoking or near naked flame.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 4. DO NOT remove the fuel filler cap whilst the engine is hot or running. ALWAYS allow the engine to cool for at least 2 minutes before re-fueling. 5. To avoid introducing dirt into the fuel system, wipe all grass and dirt from the petrol filler cap before unscrewing it. 6. It is recommended that you fill the tank through a funnel with a filter. 7. Wipe away any spillages before starting. 8. Use fresh petrol. Stale fuel can cause the carburettor to clog up. 9. DO NOT refuel indoors or in an unventilated area. 10.DO NOT operate engine if petrol has been spilled. Move lawn mower well away from the scene before starting. STARTING & OPERATING USING THE CONTROLS ENGINE BRAKE LEVER Pull back the red engine brake lever before starting the engine. Release the engine brake lever to stop the engine.
- If keeping the red engine brake lever released, the starter rope will not pull out due to the flywheel brake. Holding the engine brake lever and handlebar continuously will keep the engine and blade rotating. When releasing the engine brake lever, the engine will stop running and the blade will stop rotating.
- When you need to stop work, release the engine brake lever to stop the engine. DRIVING LEVER The driving lever controls the transmission via cables to disengage and engage in order to drive /stop the rear wheels. Hold the black driving lever and the lawnmower will move forward. Release the driving lever and the lawnmower will stop.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com CAUTION
- Release the driving lever before starting the engine. If holding the driving lever, the mower will move forward when you pull the starter handle.
- When operating the driving lever, keep it either fully released or fully held. Action should be prompt and continuous.
- When you choose to operate the lawn mower in self-propelled mode, just hold the driving lever continuously. It can give longer life to the clutch. STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Release the driving lever. If the driving lever is held during starting the mower will move forward. 2. Stand at the operating position behind the lawnmower, hold the engine brake lever against the handlebar. 3. Allow the cord to recoil slowly, then pull the handle firmly towards you to its full extent to start the engine. You may need to do this more than once. Pull the starting rope slightly until you feel the resistance of the engine and pull the rope smartly. The engine should start.
- The blade will rotate as soon as the engine is running. It is easier to start the engine on clean or cut lawn because the blade can rotate freely. ENGINE RUNNING 1. Move the throttle lever to the “Fast” position to increase the engine speed and the “Slow” position to slow down. 2. Once started, gently push the self-propelled drive lever towards the handle, thereby engaging the drive. ALWAYS start the engine with the drive disengaged. 3. Releasing the power-drive control lever stops the drive to the rear wheels. To stop the mower, - release the power-drive control lever, then adjust the throttle lever.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT By moving the adjustment lever, the chassis height of the lawn mower can be adjusted to change the cutting height. 1. Move the adjustment lever rearward to raise the cutting height. 2. Move the adjustment lever forward to lower the cutting height. USING THE MOWER DO NOT overload your lawnmower. Correct height adjustment will help reduce engine overload and will help prevent damage to your lawnmower. Starting the machine on clear, level ground will be easier because the blade can rotate freely. Avoid steep slopes of more than 15 degrees, especially if the grass is damp as this could cause you to slip and loose control of the mower. Set the height of cut by pulling the adjustment lever away from the location slots and moving to the selected position. 1. When mowing long thick grass, set the cutting height to its highest setting and lower with each successive cut. 2. Start mowing from the outside edge of the lawn, mowing in strips in alternate directions, overlapping slightly. 3. Mow twice a week in the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than one third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor grass collection. 4. ALWAYS make sure the lawn is clear of debris which could be thrown up by the blade. 5. Before use, always visually inspect to see that blades are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades before mowing. SLOPES Mow across slopes, not up and down. Avoid steep slopes (more than 15°), and be careful when changing direction. Mowing on a slope when the grass is damp or wet could cause you to slip, fall, and lose control of the mower.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com CUTTING HEIGHT 1. Consult a local nursery or garden center for cutting height recommendations and advice about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area. 2. If you look closely, you’ll see that most grass has stems and leaves. If you cut off the leaves, you’ll scalp the lawn. 3. Let the grass recover between mowing. Your mower will work better and your lawn will look better. 4. If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height setting, then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don’t take off more than one third of total grass height in any one mowing session or brown patches may develop. CUTTING WIDTH For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by approximate 5-10 cm. If the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower mowing swath. BLADE SPEED The blade must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the HIGH throttle setting and keep the engine running at maximum rpm. If engine speed drops, it could mean the engine is being overloaded by the blade trying to cut too much grass. Mow a narrower swath, move the mower slower, or raise the cutting height. BLADE SHARPNESS A sharp blade cuts cleanly. A dull blade tears the grass, leaving shredded ends that turn brown. When your blade doesn’t cut cleanly anymore, have it sharpened or replaced. DRY GRASS If the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides being unpleasant to work in, too much dust will clog the carburetor air filter. If dust is a problem, water your lawn the day before mowing. Mow when the grass is dry to your touch but the soil is still moist. WET GRASS Wet grass is slippery and can make you lose your footing. Also, wet grass clippings will clog the cutter housing and collect in clumps on the lawn. Always wait for wet grass to dry before mowing. FALLEN LEAVES When equipped with the grass bag, your mower can be used to pick up fallen leaves for disposal. If using the mower to bag large amount of fallen leaves, and not for mowing, set the cutting height adjustment lever at highest setting. If you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don’t let the leaf cover get too deep before you begin. For best results, start mulching while grass still shows through the
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com leaf cover. In places where fallen leaves completely cover the grass remove the leaves by raking, or install a grass bag, so your mower can pick them up for disposal. CLOGGED CUTTER HOUSING Before clearing a clogged cutter housing, stop the engine and tilt the mower so the carburettor side is up. Clear a clogged deck with a stick or blade. AFTER USE AND STORAGE Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your mower trouble-free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your mower’s function and appearance and will make the engine easier to start when you use the mower again. 1. NEVER store the lawnmower with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame or spark. 2. Allow the engine to cool before storing the mower in a small enclosure. 3. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine assembly and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves. 4. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. 5. Be careful of the sharp cutting blade during maintenance work. CLEANING Wash the lawn mower, including the underside of the cutter housing. Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from entering the air cleaner and/or muffler. CAUTION: USING A GARDEN HOSE OR PRESSURE WASHING EQUIPMENT CAN FORCE WATER INTO THE AIR CLEANER. WATER IN THE AIR CLEANER WILL SOAK THE FILTERS AND CAN ENTER THE CARBURETOR OR ENGINE, CAUSING DAMAGE. CAUTION: WATER ON A HOT ENGINE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE. IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING, ALLOW IT TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES BEFORE WASHING. If using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment to clean the cutter housing, be careful to avoid getting water into controls and cables, or anywhere near the engine air cleaner or muffler opening.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com FLUSHING WITH THE HOSE CONNECTOR 1. Connect the hose onto cleaning nozzle and turn on the water switch to wash the chassis. 2. Start the engine and let the blades run at normal working speed for a few minutes (wash it on the grass or other suitable places). 3. DO NOT allow water or washed debris to enter a clean water source. MANUAL CLEANING If there are still debris after washing, use a plastic brush or cloth to clean it. AFTER CLEANING 1. After cleaning, remove the hose and dry the surface of the lawn mower. 2. Stand the mower outdoors and start the engine until it reaches normal working temperature to evaporate residual moisture. 3. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down. 4. After cleaning the lawn mower, let it dry. If necessary, repair the paint surface and apply a thin layer of anti-rust oil to any parts that may rust. FUEL Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old petrol will cause hard starting and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the fuel in your mower deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced. The length of time that fuel can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as fuel blend, storage temperatures and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within 30 days or even less if the fuel was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank. The warranty does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation. You can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.
- Use fresh and clean gasoline.
- To slow deterioration, keep fuel in a certified fuel container.
- If long term storage (<30 days) is foreseen, drain the fuel tank and carburetor.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com DRAINING THE FUEL TANK AND CARBURETOR 1. Drain the fuel in the fuel tank into a suitable container (it is recommended to use a commercial manual fuel pump instead of an electric pump). 2. Disconnect the fuel tube between the tank and the carburettor. LONG TERM ENGINE CYLINDER PROTECTION 1. Remove the spark plug (See page 18). 2. Pour a spoonfull of clean engine oil into the cylinder. 3. Pull the starter grip several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug. 4. Pull the starter grip slowly until resistance is felt, then return the starter grip gently. This closes the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine. MAINTENANCE AFTER USE To ensure the best performance from the lawnmower it should be kept clean. Always clean the lawnmower immediately after use so as not to allow grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and caked hard onto any of the internal surfaces. This will directly affect the cutting and grass collection performance. Allow a period of time for the engine to cool before cleaning. Once the engine is cool, remove grass from under the machine with a brush. Make sure that the underside of the lawnmower deck is clean and clear of grass cuttings. Ensure that the grass discharge chute and guard flap are clean and clear. The grass collection box must always be emptied after use and the interior cleaned and cleared of grass cuttings. Make sure that the exterior of the engine is clear of all cuttings and dirt, especially around the silencer & air intake. Check the oil level. Finally, wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth. NEVER use solvents or chemical cleaners to clean your lawnmower. Store your lawnmower in a cool, dry place where it will be protected from damage.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com AT THE END OF THE MOWING SEASON 1. Remove and sharpen the cutting blade or replace the blade if found to have been damaged by debris /stones etc (for blade removal see below. 2. Remove and clean the air filter. 3. Drain the petrol (see page 16). MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions. AFTER FIRST 5 HOURS OF MACHINE USE Change the engine oil (see page 18). EVERY 25 HOURS OR EVERY SEASON Change the oil and clean the air filter (see pages 17/18). CLEANING THE AIR FILTER Dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If you operate the mower in very dusty areas, clean the air cleaner more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. 1. Release the clip at the top to remove the air cleaner cover. 2. Remove the sponge filter elements from the air cleaner housing and replace them if damaged. CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING WITHOUT AN AIR FILTER ELEMENT OR THE FILTER ELEMENT IS DAMAGED, DUST WILL ENTER THE ENGINE, THEREBY ACCELERATING WEAR. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 3. Wash with soap and warm water, rinse and dry or wash with a non- flammable solvent and let it dry. 4. Wipe off the dirt in the air cleaner housing and cover with a damp cloth. Be careful not to let dirt pas beyond the housing. 5. Refit the sponge air filter parts and clip the cover back into place.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com SPARK PLUG SERVICE Recommended spark plug: F7RTC 1. Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove dirt from the area. 2. Use the spark plug wrench supplied to remove the spark plug. 3. Inspect the plug and replace if the electrode is worn, pitted, or if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the plug completely if you are going to reuse it. 4. Measure the spark plug gap with a suitable gauge. The gap should be 0.7 - 0.8 mm. Correct the gap, if necessary by bending the side electrode. 5. Refit the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross- threading. Tighten with the spark plug wrench to compress the washer. 6. Refit the spark plug cap/lead to the spark plug. CHANGING THE OIL 1. Turn the mower on its side and pour the oil into a suitable container. Warm oil will drain faster than when cold. 2. When completely drained, set the machine upright and replace the oil filler/ dipstick. Refill with CLARKE SAE10W/30 oil (part no;3050845) to the ‘MAX’ level on the dipstick. 3. DO NOT overfill. If overfilled, any excess oil can get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air cleaner. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely. 4. Dispose of old/spilled oil appropriately and wipe up any spillage. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil products. NEVER throw away used engine oil with domestic refuse or flush it down a sink or drain. Collect any oil in a leak proof container and take it to your local waste disposal site. REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT The self-propulsion system incorporates a drive belt which may after extensive use, require replacement.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 1. Drain any remaining petrol from the lawnmower as described on page 16. 2. Turn the machine over and remove the cutting blade. 3. Remove the three screws holding the drive cover, and from above, pinch the retaining clip holding the cover to the machine body. Lift off the cover complete with the blade holder, sliding it off the drive shaft. The drive belt will now come away with the blade holder/driven pulley.
- The illustration shows the belt installed on the pulleys, complete with blade holder. The cover is absent to illustrate this. 4. Replace the defective drive belt and re-fit the blade holder and cover together, noting that a key (spline) engages the blade holder with the drive shaft. Press-fit the cover clip to the machine body and refit the three retaining screws. GRASS BAG CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT 1. Wash the bag with a garden hose and allow it to dry completely before use; a wet bag will clog quickly. 2. Replace a damaged bag with a genuine bag or its equivalent. Unclip the plastic edges of the bag from the frame. Remove the bag from the frame. 3. Insert the frame into the new bag. Clip the plastic edges to the frame. ADJUSTMENTS All carburettor adjustments are factory set and will not need adjustment. STORAGE If the lawnmower is stored for longer than a month, the fuel tank and carburettor should be drained to avoid the possibility of clogging up from fuel deposits. Ensure the engine is run until it stops for lack of fuel. If a fuel additive is used, ensure the engine is run in order to distribute the additive to all parts of the fuel system before storage. The lawnmower may then be placed in long term storage.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com FAULT FINDING ENGINE WILL NOT START 1. Ensure engine speed control is in the start position while the lever is held. 2. Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank. 3. Check the condition of the spark plug for cleanliness and correct gap. 4. Excess fuel flooding engine. Dry and reinstall spark plug. Start engine with throttle lever in FAST position. 5. Petrol may be stale, if so, replace. 6. Carburettor defect. Take machine to your dealer for repair. LACK OF ENGINE POWER AND/OR OVERHEATING 1.
