A: Replacing the Paper Air Filter:
The filter is located on the right hand side of
the engine (viewed from the front). It is
held in place by two clips on the top. Press
and remove the cover. The filter element is
paper. If contaminated with oil or fuel, it will
need to be replaced. Clean the cover and
housing from any excess oil. Re-fit a new
filter.

B: Replacing the Fuel:
Stale fuel or build-
ups in the fuel
tank are most
common when the
mower has been
stored for a
period of time
(e.g. over the
winter period)
When emptying the fuel from the engine place the
mower on a solid surface, or patch of gravel or
similar (fuel spillage may kill the lawn or stain a
patio):
Place an approved petrol container below the
carburettor (a funnel will help to avoid spilling fuel).
Please dispose of old fuel and used engine oil in a
manner that is compatible with the environment
