Safety Instructions

Transporting the mower• Turn the engine off, by moving the throttle lever to the 'STOP' position and switching the

fuel tap off (where fitted).

• Disconnect the spark plug lead and wedge it between the cylinder head fins.

• Do not transport the mower in a vehicle if there is fuel in the fuel tank.

• Remove the starter key and disconnect the battery (Keystart models only).

Before using the mower• Do not start the mower until you have studied the instruction manuals.

• Know the mower controls. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency bymoving the throttle to the 'STOP' position.

• Before using the mower, ensure that the blade assembly is not worn or damaged.Always replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve correct balance.Damaged or worn blades and bolts are major hazards. Use genuine VICTA spare partsonly.

• Please note blades are tucked under blade disc for safety and transport reasonsbefore use. Once the engine is started they will relocate themselves for cutting.

• Check all fasteners regularly. Always ensure the mower is in a safe operating condition.

• Check for grass build up around the engine and muffler which may cause overheatingand/or a fire hazard.

• Do not start the engine unless the rear flap and/or grasscatcher are securely in position.

Operating the mower

• Do not mow while people or pets are in the vicinity of the mower or within the mowingarea. Ensure that bystanders are a minimum of 15 metres away.

• Do not mow in bare feet or open shoes. Wear long trousers and heavy footwear.

• Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris before mowing.These could be thrown by the blades and cause injury or damage.

• Start the engine carefully with feet well clear of blades. Do not tilt the mower whenstarting the engine.

• Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment.

• Mow only in good daylight.

• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts beneath mower when engine is running.

• Do not over speed the engine or alter the governor settings. Excessive engine speed isdangerous and shortens mower life.

Safety Instructions (cont.)

• Never lift, carry or tilt the mower when the engine is running.

• Stop the engine before pushing the mower across gravel, paths or roads. Stop theengine before the mower leaves the lawn.

• Stop the engine before adjusting the cutting height.

• Mow across the face of a slope, never up or down. Use extreme caution when changingdirection on a slope. Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.

• Never mow by pulling the mower towards you. You may slip and pull the mower on topof your feet.

• Walk with the mower, never run.

• The safety distance determined by the guiding handles must be maintained at all times.

• At the conclusion of mowing, always turn the mower off using the throttle lever then turnfuel tap off (where fitted).

Maintaining the mower• If the mower begins to vibrate abnormally, or if it strikes a foreign object - STOP the

engine, disconnect the spark plug lead from the spark plug and carefully wedge itbetween the cylinder fins. Inspect the mower and blades for any damage.

• Replace worn or faulty mufflers as they adversely affect engine performance and increaseemissions.

• VICTA recommends that all maintenance, repair and inspection work be carried out by aVICTA Authorised Service Centre.

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS

Height Adjustment

Height adjustment allows lawn to be cut at different lengths.

• Set cutting height by adjusting the height lever.

• For Mulch or Catch models, mulch grass between settings 4 to 10.

• A lower setting may be used depending upon conditions.

STOP the engine before adjusting the cutting height.

Mowing & Mulching Tips

• A mulching mower is designed to cut, retain, and recut the clippings until they have reacheda very small size. These are then blown down into the root system as nutrients for your lawn.

• For best mulching results only mow the top 1” / 2.5cm of lawn growth. If grass has becomeexcessively long choose a height setting and gradually reduce the cutting height after eachpass, or use catcher.

• Mulch grass between heights settings 4 and 10. A lower setting may be used depending onconditions.

• Dry grass will aid in the mulching action of the mower.• Cut the grass regularly to avoid it becoming too long and making it difficult to mulch.• As a general rule, only cut the top one third of the grass length (approximately). More than

this may leave an untidy appearance and finish.• Mulching is sensitive to the chosen height setting. If the height setting is too low cut grass

may be left on top of the lawn. In this case raise the height setting.• Cut the grass in the late afternoon or morning. This will stop the grass being damaged by

direct sunlight.• To maintain cutting performance keep the underside of the mower clean.• The cutting pattern should be varied from week to week (eg. North-South to East-West).• When using a mulcher the grass tends to be carried along with the mower. Mow from the

thick grass to light grass as this will deposit clippings and encourage growth in these areas.• Excessively long grass will not be mulched adequately, in this case, it is recommended to

use catcher.• Worn or incorrect blades will reduce lawn finish and will not mulch properly. Use only genuine

Victa blades and replace them regularly.

Before cleaning the mower, ensure the throttle lever is in the 'STOP' position. Turn the fuel tap off, disconnect the spark plug lead and wedge it between the cylinder fins, and disconnect the battery on Keystart models.

• Remove grass build up from the air intakes on the top of the mower cowl, around theengine and carburettor, and around the air filter body.

• The underside of the mower should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grass buildup, as any build up will adversely affect grass catching and mulching performance andcan promote corrosion on steel baseplates.

• When cleaning the underside of the mower, always tilt handle back to ground level sothe front wheels are off the ground and spark plug is pointing to the sky. Tilting in otherdirections can cause the oil to contaminate the fuel & damage airfilter causing startingdifficulties.

• A hose may be used on the underside of yourmower ONLY. Care must be taken to NOT getwater into the engine, as it may damage themagneto or get into the fuel system.

• If your mower is fitted with a washport, simply attach a garden hose whilst the engine is running and turn on the water.

• On Keystart models keep the battery, starter switch, starter motor and all leads dry.

• To prevent chassis corrosion, the underside of your mower should be cleaned immediately after mowing an area which has been recently dressed with sulphate of ammonia or fertiliser.

• After cleaning, run the engine briefly to dry off excess moisture before storing.

For Your Safety• Never use the mower unless the grasscatcher or the guards supplied by the

manufacturer are in position.

• Before starting the mower check blades and bolts for damage or wear.

• If you strike an obstruction, stop the engine and check the blades for damage.

Worn and damaged blades are major hazards.

• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before fitting new blades.

• Work from the catcher flap.

With the rear flap secured,undo the blade nut, applyingupward pressure to the bolthead into the blade disc. (thehead of the bolt will not rotatedue to the diamond shape inthe underside of the head).

Assembly: Fit as per thedrawing remembering to pushthe head of the bolt into theblade disc. (this will stop thebolt head from turning).Ensure correct order of assembly.

DO NOT lay mower on side (4 stroke models).

• We recommend changing blades, bolts, nuts and washers as a set. Metal fatigue anddamage may occur which may not be visible to the operator. Always replace all blades toensure correct engine balance, reducing vibration and wear. Tighten nuts on blade boltsto 14-19 Nm (Newton Metres) or 10-14ft lbs.

• Always turn the nut to check tightness, not the bolt.

Use only genuine replacement parts made and guaranteed by Victa. Insist on them from your parts and service dealer.Detailed fitting instructions are printed on genuine Victa blade packs.Use of non-genuine blades may void your warranty, and could result indamage or injury.

For correct engine performance and to guard against dust entering the engine, causingrapid wear, the air filter assembly must be clean and maintained in good condition. VICTArecommends that the air filter element and seal ring are replaced annually, or more often industy conditions. Always replace with genuine Victa spare parts. Use of non-genuine spareparts may damage your mower engine, and void the product warranty.
