Tanking up
Warning
Fuel is ignited by hot engine parts.
► Prior to filling up, switch off the engine
and wait for at least 20 minutes until the
engine has cooled down. Observe the
safety instructions regarding the fuel!
Warning
The fuel tank at the engine is not connec-
ted.
Filled fuel can run out and ignite.
► Never fill fuel into the tank on the engine.
Filling up with fuel
1. For filling, use a canister with filler spout or
a funnel.
2. Open the canister carefully so that existing
excess pressure is slowly reduced.
3. Open the tank cap carefully so that existing
excess pressure is slowly reduced and no
fuel sprays out.
4. Fill the fuel tank.
5. Tightly close the tank cap again.
Adjusting cutting height
Adjust the cutting height setting only when the
engine is switched off.
Set the cutting height so that the blade does
not touch the ground even in case of terrain
unevenness. If the cutting height is set too
high, objects can be ejected and the “clean cut
appearance” can be destroyed.

the desired cutting height is reached.
Locking steerable front wheel
On flat terrain, it is more comfortable to leave
the front wheel free to pivot. If you mow in hori-
zontal direction, it is necessary to always lock
the wheel.
