debris bag carefully into the openings on the
lower debris bag.
7. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 8) with one hand
and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 7) as
shown in Figure 4
5.2 Setting the cutting height
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
앬 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
as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this
check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
앬 The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 7/Item 9). Up to 5 different cutting heights
can be selected.
앬 Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position.
6. Operation
Note:
For detailed information on starting the engine,
refer to the enclosed manual from Briggs &
Stratton.
Important.
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the
engine. You will also need to fill in petrol, as this
is also not supplied upon delivery.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
You can control the rotation speed of the blade using
the speed lever (Fig. 6).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjust-
ment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out any
adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1): Use the lever to
stop the engine. When you release the lever the
engine and the blade stop automatically (Fig.
5b). To mow, hold the lever in the working
position. Before you start to mow, check the
start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is
working properly. Ensure that the tension cable
can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or
kinking in any way).
2. Speed lever (Fig. 6): Move this lever in order to
increase or decrease the engine speed. (Tortoise
= Slow / Hare = Fast)
3. Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
Important:
Before you start the engine, move the motor
brake several times to be sure that the stop
cable is properly working.
Note: The engine is
factory set to a speed that is optimal for cutting
and blowing grass into the basket and is
designed to provide many years of use.
4. Check the oil level.
5.
Fill the tank with petrol when it is empty, using a
funnel and measuring vessel. Make sure that the
petrol is clean.
Note: Use only unleaded petrol as fuel.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool
down for a few minutes.
Mulching
In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread back
onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and
dispose of the grass.
Important: Mulching is only possible if the lawn is
relatively short. Optimum results can be achieved
only with a mulching blade (available as an
accessory).
To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris
bag, slide the mulching adaptor into the ejector
opening (Fig. 5d/Item 20) and close the ejector
opening.
