5. Before starting the equipment
The lawn mower is delivered unassembled. The
complete push bar and the grass basket must be
assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow the
operating instructions step-by-step and use the
pictures provided as a visual guide to easily
assemble the machine.
Assembling the long handle (Fig. 3-8)
Press the distance plate (Fig. 3/Item 10) into the
mount.
Now insert the bottom push bar into the appropriate
mountings (Fig. 4).
Then screw the bottom push bar securely in place as
shown in Figures 5 and 6.
When you fit the top push bar you can decide the
height of the push bar by selecting the appropriate
fastening hole (Fig. 7). Fasten the top push bar using
either the holes L for a low position or H for a high
position. Screw the top push bar to the bottom push
bar as shown in Figure 8.
Mounting the grass collecting device (see
Figures 9a to 9e)
Pull the grass bag over the bar frame (Fig. 9a). The
grass bag must be fastened to the bar frame as
shown in Figures 9b and 9c.
Before you fit the grass bag you must ensure that the
motor is switched off and the blade is not rotating.
The grass box must be hooked into the two openings
on the mower (Fig. 9d/Item A).
To do this, open the ejector flap with one hand (Fig.
9e/Item 4) and attach the grass box with the other
hand as shown in Fig. 9e. The ejector flap is held
against the grass box by a spring.
Adjusting the cutting height
Important.
Adjust the cutting height only when the
motor is switched off and the power cable has been
disconnected.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are
damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt
and/or damaged blades. To carry out this check, first
switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as shown in Figs. 10.
1.
Pull out the lever (8).
2. Set the lever (8) to the desired cutting height.
The cutting height can be set between 25-75 mm in 5
intervals.
Power supply
The lawn mower can be connected to any light
socket-outlet with a 230 Volt alternating current.
However, the socket outlet must have an earthing
contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker.
Additionally, a residual current device (RCD) circuit-
breaker with max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
The total length of the power cable should not
exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will
reduce the power output of the electric motor. The
power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5
mm
2 . The insulating sheath of lawn aerator power
cables is frequently damaged. Some of the causes
for this are:
Cuts caused by running over the cable
Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows.
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of
type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must
be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only
purchase power cables that are marked as such!
Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables must
be made from rubber and be splash-proof. There is a
limit to how long power cables can be. Longer power
cables require larger conductor cross-sections.
Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly
checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-
energized before checking them. Completely unwind
the power cable. Also check power cable entry
