A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
•
A 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
•
A petrol can

1.
Affix the lower push bar (Fig. 3a/Item 5)
to the mower housing and set the desired
working height. 3 different working heights
are available. Each peg on the lower push bar
can be inserted into a hole situated directly
opposite to it, on the mower housing, for
example A-A (Fig. 3). The lower push bar must
be equally adjusted on both sides. Now affix
the cover (Fig. 3a/Item 23) and attach the push
bar (5) using the square head screws (15) and
the star screws (18) as shown in Figure 3a.
2.
Fasten the top push bar to the bottom push bar
using a screw (Fig. 3b/Item 16) and a star screw
(Fig. 3b/Item 18) on each side. Make sure that
the lobes of the screws are folded towards the
inside so that the high speed clamping function
remains operational.
3.
Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/Item
4) into the hook provided for that purpose as
shown in Figure 3c.
4.
Fasten the cords to the push bar with the
supplied cable ties (Fig. 3d/Item. 13).
5.
The debris bag should be assembled as shown
in Figure 3e. For this, insert the upper lugs of
the debris bag carefully into the openings on
the lower debris bag.

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

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.
6.2 Setting the
cutting height
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position.
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
adjustment 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.
Drive lever (clutch lever) (Fig. 5a/Item 19): If you
press this (Fig. 5c) the clutch for the drive will be
closed and the lawnmower will start to move
with the motor running. Release the drive lever
in good time to stop the moving lawnmower.
Practice starting and stopping before you use the
mower for the first time until you are familiar
with controlling the mower.
