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.

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 cable can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way)

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.

FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING

Clear the 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. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Where possible adjust the ground speed for best results, 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 the 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 the 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. If a large object has been struck during mowing this could cause terminal damage to your machine.

GRASS CATCHER

If the grass catcher is full of grass, you will need to empty and clean the grass catcher, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated.

Cleaning:
Wash the grass bag with a garden hose, and allow it to completely dry before use. Cleaning the bag will ensure optimum airflow and collection.

Replacement:
Unclip the plastic edges of the bag from the frame, remove the frame from the bag. Insert the frame into the bag, clip the plastic edges of the bag onto the frame.

DECK

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a build-up of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion of metal parts of the mower, 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) and never tilt towards the air filter as this can become damaged.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawnmower without first stopping the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire.

CAUTION: Before changing mowing height, stop the mower and disconnect spark plug cable.

Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 6 height positions. (Fig.9)

The height (the blade to the ground) can be adjusted from 25 mm to 75 mm (6 height positions).

1. Stop the mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing the mower cutting height.
2. The central height adjustment lever offers you 6 different height positions.

To change the height of cut, squeeze the adjuster lever toward the wheel, moving up or down to the selected height.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

SPARK PLUG

Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use.

ENGINE BRAKE PADS

As part of the dealer service check and replace the engine brake pads as necessary.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Disconnect the 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.

CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not hose engine. Water can damage engine or contaminate the fuel system.

1. Wipe the deck with a dry cloth.
2. Hose under the deck by tilting the mower so that the spark plug is up.

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 of normal mowing. The foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower is used in dry dusty conditions.

To CLEAN FOAM AIR FILTER

1. Remove screw.
2. Press down the two tabs on top of the filter cover. Remove cover.
3. Wash filter element in soap water. DO NOT USE PETROL!
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.

NOTE: Replace filter if frayed, torn, damaged or unable to be cleaned.

Where paper filters are fitted, excess dust and dirt may be removed by tapping it on a hard surface several times or blowing compressed air onto the filter.

A clean filter is essential for the efficient operation of the mower engine.

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 duty gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades.

Tip the mower as specified in the 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 re-sharpened 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 heavier 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 figure 12. 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:

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. Contact your local Cobra dealer for details.

WARNING: Do not touch rotating blades.

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.

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 the 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 the muffler area.

CABLE ADJUSTMENTS

Power drive / clutch lever control / OPC Brake cable:
Adjust the cables tensioner to ensure each lever operates correctly.

CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT

Engine brake adjustment:
Always check that the engine stops promptly after releasing the OPC/brake lever.
