Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this

purpose.

Refuel outdoors only, before starting the engine and do

not smoke while refueling or handling fuel.

Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while

the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but

move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors

have dissipated.

Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

Before tipping the lawn mower to maintain the blade or

drain oil, remove fuel from tank.

WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors, with

engine running or until the engine has been allowed to

cool for at least 15 minutes after running.

7-2 TO START ENGINE AND ENGAGE

BLADE

Release the brake control handle to stop the engine and

blade. (Fig. 8D)

Start the engine carefully according to

instructions and with feet well away from the blade.

Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the

engine. Start the mower on a level surface, free of high

grass or obstacles.

14

Keep hands and feet away from the rotating

parts. Do not start the engine when standing in front of the

discharge opening.

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 lawn

mower from operating.

WARNING! In order to avoid any unintentional

start-ups of the lawn mower, it comes equipped with an

engine brake which must be pulled back before the

engine can be started. When the engine control lever is

released it must return to its initial position, at which point

the engine automatically switches off.

Note: Engine brake (brake handle): Use the lever to stop

the engine. When you release the lever the engine and

the blade stop automatically. To mow, hold the lever in the

working position. Before you start to mow, check the start/

stop lever several times to be sure that it is working

properly. Ensure that the tension cable can be smoothly

operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way).

7-4 TO STOP ENGINE

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

For PM-46 SBC

Grip the self-drive control handle, the lawn mower will

move forward automatically with about 3.6 km/h (Fig. 9),

release the self-drive handle, the lawn mower will stop

move.

CAUTION: Your mower is designed to cut normal

residential grass of a height no more than 250 mm.

Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet

grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may

build up on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust

presenting a potential fire hazard.

7-6 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN

MOWING

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of

stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be

accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and

cause serious personal injury to the operator and others

as well as damage to property and surrounding objects.

Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet

grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the

deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut

no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The

recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the

grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the

clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For

especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be

necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get

a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you

may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the

blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and

perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the

first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will

also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn.

The mower should always be operated at full throttle to

get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of

mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the

underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a

build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching.

Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be

beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure

they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do

not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you

mow.

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.

7-7 GRASS CATCHER

There is a window on the rear cover. You can see the

condition of grass catcher through the window. If the

catcher is full of grass; you will empty and clean the bag,

make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is

ventilated. (Fig. 10)

7-8 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).

7-9 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not at any time make any

adjustment to lawn mower without first stopping the

engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire.

8. MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

SPARK PLUG

Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results,

replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use.

BRAKE PADS

Check and/or replace the engine brake pads in service

agent regularly, only original parts can be used as

replacement.

9. LUBRICATION INSTRUCIONS

CAUTION: DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG

BEFORE SERVICING.

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.

10.CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not hose engine. Water can

damage engine or contaminate the fuel system.

1. Wipe deck with dry cloth.

2. Hose under deck by tilting the mower so that the spark

plug is up.

10-1 ENGINE AIR CLEANER

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.

To CLEAN AIR FILTER

1. Lift the tabs on top of the filter cover.

2. Remove the filter cover.

3. Wash filter element in soap water. DO NOT USE

GASOLINE!

4. Air dry filter element.

5. Place a few drops of SAE30 oil on the foam filter and

squeeze tightly to remove any excess oil.

6. Reinstall filter.

7. Close the filter cover.

NOTE: Replace filter if frayed, torn, damaged or

unable to be cleaned. (Fig. 12)

10-2 CUTTING BLADE

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.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade

adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object.

Replace when necessary.

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. Refer to Fig. 13. 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:

10-3 BLADE MOUNTING TORQUE

Center bolt 35 Nm - 45 Nm, 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 (Dolmar 263001451) (to order

the blade, please contact your local dealer or call our

company, see cover page).

10-4 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 performance 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.

16

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.

11. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

(OFF SEASON)

The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn

mower for storage.

1. Empty the tank after the last mowing of the season.

a) Empty the petrol tank with a suction pump.

CAUTION: Do not drain the petrol in closed

rooms, in close proximity of open fire, etc. Do not smoke!

Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.

b) Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all

remaining petrol and stalls.

c) Remove the spark plug. Use an oilcan to fill approx.

20 ml oil into the combustion chamber. Operate the

starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion

chamber. Replace the spark plug.

2. Clean and grease the lawn mower carefully as

described above under “LUBRICATION

INSTRUCTIONS”.

3. Slightly grease the cutter to avoid corrosion.

4. Store the lawn mower in a dry, clean and frost-

protected place, out of reach of unauthorized persons.

CAUTION: The engine must have completely

cooled down before storing the lawn mower.

NOTE:

- When storing any type of power equipment in an

unventilated or material storage shed:

- Care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment.

Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment,

especially cables and all moving parts.

- Be careful not to bend or kink cables.

- If the starter rope becomes disconnected from rope

guide on handle, disconnect and ground the spark plug

wire, depress the blade control handle and pull the

starter rope out from engine slowly. Slip the starter rope

into the rope guide bolt on handle.

Transport

Turn the engine off and allow the engine to cool down.

Then disconnect the spark plug wire and empty the fuel

tank according to the instructions in the engine manual.

Ensure not to bend or damage the cutter when pushing

the lawn mower over obstacles.
