HOW TO GET MOWING Your Mountfield lawnmower does not contain petrol or oil and these must be added before use. Running the mower with insufficient oil can cause serious damage to the engine and will invalidate your warranty. NEVER TIP THE MOWER ONTO ITS SIDE AS THIS WILL FLOOD THE AIR FILTER WITH OIL. - Page 8 Read and understand the Safety Precautions before using your mower. • Put Mountfield 4-stroke, or an SAE 10W-30 oil, in the oil filler (Figure 7). Do not overfill, the oil tank capacity is 0,55 litre. Mountfield oil, part number MX855, is available from any Mountfield stockist or B&Q store.
