EINHELL rg-em-1536, Original Operating Instructions

Page: 21 / 108

Mounting the push bar (Fig. 5 to 10)
First take the spring (Figure 2/Item 16) and the
handlebar mount (Figure 2/Item 12) and mount them
on the relevant axle (Figure 5). Now insert the push
bar holder (Figure 2/Item 3) into the handlebar mount
(Figure 2/Item 12) and secure with the quick clamping
function (Figure 2/Item 17) (Figure 6). Important. Do
not forget to fit the holder for the cable strain-relief clip
(Figure 2/Item 15) and the strain-relief clip (Figure
2/Item 9) on the top push bar first.
The top push bar (Figure 1/Item 2) must be pushed
onto the push bar holders (Figure 2/Item 3) and
secured as shown above in Figure 9. Then attach the
power cable to the push bar (Fig. 10/Item A) using the
cable clips (Fig. 2/Item 18). Now you can select the
push bar height in three steps from 93.5 to 115.5 cm
(Figure 7/Item A).
Important.
The handle height may only be adjusted within the
marked range.
Press in the long handle and secure in the
desired position using the quick clamping
function (Figure 7/Item B)
Important.
Always set the identical handle height on both sides.
Use the cable clips to align the cable in
accordance with the long handle
(Figure 10/Item A)
Mounting the grass basket (see Figs. 11 to 13)
First, plug the left (Fig. 2/Item 21) and right (Fig.
2/Item 20) part of the housing together as shown in
Figure 11. Then plug the top part of the housing (Fig.
2/Item 19) onto the already mounted parts (Figure
12). Before you fit the grass basket you must ensure
that the motor is switched off and the blade is not
rotating. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 13 / Item A) with one
hand. With the other hand, hold the grass basket by
the handle and hook it in from above (Fig. 13).
Filling level indicator of the grass collector
The grass collector is equipped with a filling level
indicator (Fig. 2/Item 24) which is opened by the air
current that the lawn mower generates during
operation. If the flap closes during mowing, the grass
collecting device is full and must be emptied. To
ensure the proper functioning of the filling level
indicator, the holes under the flap must be kept clean
and open.
Adjusting the cutting height
Important.
Adjust the cutting height only when the engine 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 follows (see Fig. 14):
1.
Push the lever (A) outwards.
2. Set the lever (B) to the desired cutting height.
3. Release the lever (A) and check that it is securely
seated in the lock.
Reading off the cutting height
The cutting height can be set between 25-75 mm in 6
intervals, and can be read off on the scale (Fig. 14/C).
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. 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! Plugs and
socket couplers for the power cables must be made
from rubber and 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
