Attaching the grass collector to the mower 6 + 7<br />

– Push the retaining profile of the collecting sack<br />

onto the bars of the collecting sack frame.<br />

– Open the ejection flap of the mower upwards.<br />

– Lift the collector at the carry bar and attach the<br />

collector to the mower housing by means of the<br />

two lateral hooks.<br />

– Lay the ejection flap on the collector.<br />

Adjusting the cutting height 8<br />

Never adjust the cutting height with the motor<br />

still running.<br />

The mower is adjusted to one cutting height upon<br />

delivery.<br />

– You can set the desired cutting height with the<br />

adjustment lever on the left of the mower. Pull<br />

the lever out of the catch, move to the desired<br />

position and let it fall back into the catch.<br />

– Adjust the cutting height to the desired height of<br />

20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 65 and 80 mm.<br />

– The markings on the left of the housing show the<br />

cutting heights.<br />

WARNING<br />

The lawnmower can only be used on level<br />

lawns if the lowest cutting height is being<br />

used.<br />

5. Before using the lawn-mower for the first time<br />

Check that all connections and spark plug connector<br />

are positioned correctly. Pay particular attention<br />

to the correct fixing of the cutter bar (cf. here section<br />

“sharpening and replacing the cutter bar”).<br />

Tighten the screws if necessary! Check the screwed<br />

connection again after approx. 20 operating<br />

hours!<br />

Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly<br />

and are not damaged!<br />

Filling with oil 9<br />

– Before starting the mower the first time fill<br />

0,55 litre mot oil (see Technical Data) into this<br />

opening using a funnel after unscrewing the oil<br />

dipstick.<br />

– Pour in oil slowly up to the maximum mark on the<br />

dipstick. Do not pour in too much oil.<br />

– Check the oil level.<br />

Remove the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick<br />

with a clean cloth and insert the dipstick<br />

into oil filter without screwing it in. Then<br />

remove the dipstick once again and read<br />

off the oil level.<br />

Replace oil dipstick and retighten.<br />

The dipstick must always be screwed firmly in<br />

W place when the motor is running.<br />

Filling up with fuel<br />

Special care must be taken when handling fuel.<br />

W Never fill up when the engine is hot! Never<br />

allow the engine to run in enclosed spaces<br />

(danger to health!).<br />

– Only use fresh and clean unleaded 2 star<br />

petrol.<br />

GB<br />

Smoking is forbidden<br />

W when working with petrol.<br />

– Unscrew tank cap.<br />

– Fill tank with fuel using a funnel up to the lower<br />

edge of the filler at the most.<br />

Do NOT allow<br />

W to overflow!<br />

Replace tank cap and tighten.<br />

6. Starting the engine = + ! + "<br />

Only start the engine when standing behind of the<br />

mower. Place the mower on a level surface where<br />

the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start<br />

of the cutter bar and makes starting more difficult).<br />

Where this is not possible, position the mower in such<br />

a way that the cutter is facing diagonally in the<br />

direction away from the user.<br />

– Open the petrol tap (4) =.<br />

– If the engine is cold, shift the operating lever for<br />

the engine (1) on the handle console to position<br />

“Start” (2) !.<br />

– Press the safety switch contact (5) onto the upper<br />

part of the handle (6) and hold in place ".<br />

– With the other hand, move the starter cable (7)<br />

to the trigger point and then pull out swiftly ".<br />

– The motor will begin to run; then guide the cable<br />

back slowly.<br />

– It may be necessary to repeat the starting<br />

procedure several times.<br />

– After the engine has been started, set the operating<br />

lever (1) to “Max/Start” (3) !.<br />

– If a warm engine is started, set the operating lever<br />

to “Max/Start” (3) and start engine as described<br />

above.<br />

– Should the engine fail to start, proceed as for a<br />

cold engine.<br />

– In position “Max/Start” (3), the engine functions<br />

best at a maximum speed that is necessary for a<br />

clean cut (engine speed = cutter speed).<br />

CAUTION<br />

The motor will only run when the safety switch<br />

W contact is pressed onto the upper part of the<br />

handle. As soon as the switch contact is<br />

released, it will spring back to its starting<br />

position, the motor brake will be activated,<br />

and within a few seconds, the motor and the<br />

mower will come to a stand still.<br />

NOTE<br />

The engine brake is required by law for safety<br />

technical reasons.<br />

WARNING<br />

The cutter works as soon as the engine starts<br />

W to run! Make sure that hands and feet are<br />

kept away from beneath the housing. The<br />

engine must be switched off whenever you<br />

leave the mower unattended (e. g. to empty<br />

the grass collector). The spark plug connector<br />

must also be removed when working on the<br />

mower.<br />
