Hello Kathy,
What a have done its my one I just unpacked it install the plastic catcher, and tighten the side winds to tighten the handles. Just poured around 440ml of full synthetic sae 10-30w and ron98 petrol just fill up to the bottom of the neck inside. Settit on level 4 for height. After the second pull done it. Started it three times during that session no problems! Remember though this lawn mover does not needs priming or anything else and aso put the lever on "Start" position or will Not start :).

Because is ready-start they guaranteed will start from second or maximum third pull and if not they will look it for you free of charge. It's all iin the manuals both victa an B&Straton. Just when you pull try to pull approx 10cm then all the way to start it. Hope this helps, if not call them.

Thanks Vik, that is the procedure we follow however it takes about 20 - 30 pulls before it starts.....think we will take it back from where we purchased it and see what they say.

on the box says 35kg

Try eBay can buy them out of China if you don't mind the 30 day wait, or your local mower shop may have one.

Hi Les - next time I am in town I will ask my local dealer, on your behalf. Wendy.
