User manual MCCULLOCH P185107HRBK

[. . . ] Please read these instructions carefully and make sure you understand them before using this machine. We reserve the right to make changes without prior notice. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. ⷠNever allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the lawnmower. [. . . ] The engine should be run of pure (not oil mixed) unleaded petrol. Do not fill beyond the lower edge of the filling hole. Proceed with care and fill up with petrol outdoors. Do not smoke when filling with petrol or fill up when the engine is warm. Do not overfill the tank since the pertrol can expand and overflow. Make sure that the petrol cap is securely tightened after filling. The combined oil refilling cap and the oil stick is accessible when the bonnet is lifted forwards. The oil level in the engine should be checked before each run. The oil level should lie between the two markings on the oil stick. If more oil is needed add SAE 30 oil to the "FULL " marking. SAE 5W-30 oil should be used during the winter (below freezing point). The pressure in the front tires should be 1 bar (14 PSI) and 0. Make sure that the cutting unit is in the transport position (top position) and that the lever for connection/disconnection of the cutting unit is in the disconnection position. Press down the clutch/brake pedal completely and hold down. Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position. Backing up with the attachment clutch engaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise to ROS "ON" position. ⷠLook down and behind before backing. When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position. Clear the lawn from stones and other objects which can be thrown away by the blades. [. . . ] Start engine and move motion control lever until tractor does not move forward or backward. NOTE: If additional clearance is needed to get to adjustment bolt, move mower deck height to the lowest position. After above adjustment is made, if the tractor still creeps forward or backward while motion control lever is in neutral position, follow these steps: · Move the motion control lever 1/4 to 1/2 inch in the direction it is trying to creep. If tractor still creeps, repeat above steps until satisfied. [. . . ]
