Safety Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of a Victa lawnmower. This instruction manual will aid in the
assembly, operation and maintenance of your new lawnmower.
Please read this manual carefully to ensure safety and the long life of your product.
Please read the Warranty leaflet carefully.
Keep this operators manual in a safe place for future reference, or if service is required on your unit.
Do not operate the unit before reading this manual.
Do not operate before reading the ‘Engine Manual’.
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 well away from the spark plug.
• Do not transport the mower in a vehicle if there is fuel in the fuel tank.
• Remove the battery and starting key, where fitted (In-Start models only).
Before using the mower
• Do not allow children, or people unfamiliar with these instructions, to use 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 parts only.
• Please note: blades may be tucked under blade disc for safety and transport reasons
before 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.
Use genuine spare parts only.
• Check for grass build up around the engine and muffler which may cause overheating
and/or a fire hazard.
• For 4-stroke engines, SAE 30 oil must be placed in engine sump before starting the
engine. Please refer to Engine Owner’s Manual, for filling volume and method. Failure to
do so will cause engine damage and will void engine warranty.
• Do not start the engine unless the rear flap and/or grasscatcher are securely in position.
• Know the mower controls. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency by
moving the throttle to the 'STOP' position or releasing the brake bale arm on models
fitted with presence control
Operating the mower
• Do not mow while people, especially children, or pets are in the vicinity of the mower or
within the mowing area. Ensure that bystanders are a minimum of 15 metres away.
• Do not mow in bare feet or open shoes. Wear long trousers heavy footwear and
eye protection.

The following safety precautions must be strictly observed to avoid the risk of damage or personal
injury.
• Do not smoke while operating or refuelling the mower. Never add fuel or remove the fuel cap
while the engine is running or hot. If fuel is spilt, do not start the engine. Move the mower
away from the area of the spill. Do not create any source of ignition until the fuel vapours have
dissipated.
• Check all fasteners regularly. Always ensure that the mower is in safe operating condition. Use
genuine spare parts only.
• Do not operate the mower in confined spaces where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can
collect.
• Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even if only for a moment.
• Stop the engine when emptying the grasscatcher. Never try to clear grass from inside the mower
while the engine is running.
• Never lift, carry or tilt the mower when the engine is running.
• Bystanders must be at least 15 metres away during operation of the mower, as rocks and other
materials may be thrown at high velocities. Switch the unit off immediately if approached.
• Never use the mower unless the grasscatcher and/or the rear flap are correctly assembled and
fitted.
Recommended personal protection equipment to wear when working with your lawnmower:
Hazards
Safety Instructions cont'd Safety Instructions cont'd
• 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 when
starting 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 is
dangerous and shortens mower life.
• 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 the
engine 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 changing
direction 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 top
of your feet. Never mow grass while walking backwards.
• 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 turn
fuel tap off (where fitted). To stop the mower on models with presence control, release
the brake bale arm.
• Do not operate the mower in confined spaces where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide)
can collect.
• Stop the engine when emptying the grasscatcher.
• Stop the engine and disconnect spark plug wire before clearing blockages, checking, or
working on the mower.
• If you strike an obstruction, stop the engine and check the blades for damage.
• Bystanders must be at least 15 metres away during operation of the mower, as rocks
and other materials may be thrown at high velocities. Switch the unit off immediately if
approached.
• Never use the mower unless the grasscatcher and/or the rear flap are correctly
assembled and fitted.
• Wear suitable eye protection when operating mower.
• Never use an electrically powered mower in the rain or when grass is wet.
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 it well
away from the spark plug. Inspect the mower and blades for any damage.
• Replace worn or faulty mufflers as they adversely affect engine performance and increase
emissions.
• Victa recommends that all maintenance, repair and inspection work be carried out by a
Victa Authorised Service Centre.
• Store the mower in a well ventilated area, away from any naked flames such as those found
in hot water heaters.
Refuelling the mower
• Refuel the mower outdoors only.
• Do not smoke while operating or refuelling the mower. Never add fuel or remove the
fuel cap while the engine is running or hot. If fuel is spilt, do not start the engine. Move
the mower away from the area of the spill. Do not create any source of ignition until fuel
vapours have dissipated.
• Store fuel in a cool place and in a container specifically designed for the purpose. Victa
supplies a 5 litre fuel can as an optional extra. Plastic containers are unsuitable, except
those specifically designed to hold fuel.

Maintenance Chart
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 well away from the
spark plug, and remove the battery on Instart models.
• Remove grass build up from the air intakes on the top of the mower cowl, around the
engine and carburettor, and around the air filter body.
• The underside of the mower should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grass build
up; any build up will adversely affect grass catching and mulching performance and can
promote corrosion on steel baseplates.
• When cleaning the underside of the mower, always tilt handle
back to ground level so the front wheels are off the ground and spark plug is pointing to the sky.
Tilting in other direction can cause the oil to contaminate the fuel & damage air filter causing starting
difficulties.
• A hose may be used on the underside of your mower ONLY. Care must be taken to NOT get
water into the engine, as it may damage the magneto 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 Instart 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.

Maintenance Chart
Before carrying out maintenance, STOP the engine, disconnect the spark plug
lead from the spark plug and move it well away from the spark plug. Remove
the starter key from the ignition switch of Keystart models and disconnect the
battery.
Never attempt maintenance that is not outlined in this manual.
All repair work must be carried out by a Victa Authorised ServiceCentre.
For Your Safety
• Before starting the mower check blades and bolts for damage or wear.
• Victa recommends that all maintenance, repair and inspection work be carried out by a
Victa Authorised Service Centre.
Worn and damaged blades are major hazards.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before
fitting new blades.
• Work from the grasscatcher flap.
With the rear flap secured, undo the blade nut, applying
upward pressure to the bolt head into the blade disc. (the
head of the bolt will not rotate due to the diamond shape
in the underside of the head).
Assembly: Fit as per the drawing remembering to push the
head of the bolt into the blade disc (this will stop the bolt
head from turning). Ensure correct order of assembly.
DO NOT lay mower on its side (4 Stroke models).
• We recommend changing blades, bolts, nuts and washers
as a set. Metal fatigue and damage may occur which may
not be visible to the operator. Always replace all blades to ensure correct engine balance,
reducing vibration and wear. Tighten nuts on blade bolts to 14-19 Nm.
• 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 in damage
or injury.
