VYEH type:

Always release the cutting-means control lever and the Select 
Drive control before starting the engine. Starting is more 
difficult when the cutting means is engaged. If the clutch is 
engaged, the lawnmower will move when the engine is started.

1. Engage the cutting means:

- Press the unlocking knob 

[1] and keep it pressed.

- Pull the cutting-means 

control lever [2] towards 
you.

- Release the unlocking knob 

[1] when the cutting means 
are engaged.

2. With the engine running and 

the cutting means rotating, 
slowly push the Select Drive 
control [3] to propel the 
mower forward.

3. Normal operation is with your 

hand comfortably around the 
handle bar [4] and Select 
Drive control [3] with the 
Select Drive control being 
flush with the handle bar [4].

4. Should the mower not move 

forward, additional power 
may be required which can be 
achieved by adjusting the 
Select Drive control knob [5] 
in the "+" direction.

5. Once you have achieved your 

preferred mowing speed by 
pushing down the Select 
Drive control [3] in 
combination with the 
appropriate Select Drive 
control knob [5] setting, you 
can commence mowing at 
your preferred constant speed.

6. Push the Select Drive control [3] with your thumbs into the 

indentation for boost operation when additional power is 
required to maintain your desired mowing speed (for example, 
when encountering a slope or other change in ground 
conditions). Once the terrain or ground conditions return to 
normal, you simply release the boost.

NOTE:

 The Select Drive control knob [5] allows you to adjust the 

level of power used to propel the mower. The adjustment range is 
from "-" to "+" power. The level of power required to achieve a 
preferred ground speed is dependent upon the combination of 
terrain conditions, grass conditions and your preferred mowing 
speed.

7. To stop the lawnmower moving forward:

- Release the Release the Select Drive control [3].

8. To stop the cutting means rotating:

- Release the cutting-means control lever [2].

NOTE:

 It is possible to refrain from using the forward drive while 

mowing in areas with a narrow surface (lanes, borders, etc.). 
Likewise, the Select Drive control can be used to move the 
lawnmower without engaging the cutting-means control.

CAUTION:

• Move the cutting-means control lever quickly from one end of its 

travel to the other, so that the cutting means is always either fully 
engaged or fully disengaged. This is to avoid stalling the engine 
and increases the service life of the cutting-means control 
mechanism.

QYEH type:

Always release the cutting-means control lever and the drive 
clutch lever before starting the engine. Starting is more difficult 
when the cutting means is engaged. If the clutch is engaged, 
the lawnmower will move when the engine is started.

1. Engage the cutting means:

- Press the yellow button [6] 

located on the top of the 
cutting-means control lever 
[7], and at the same time push 
lever quickly and hold it 
against the handle.

2. Engage lawnmower forward 

drive when the motor has picked 
up speed:
- The drive clutch lever [8] acts 

as a variable speed control 
according to its squeezed 
position. It makes the speed 
vary between zero and the 
maximal speed preset with 
the shift lever. The maximum 
speed can be reached when 
both levers [7] and [8] are 
pushed forward completely. 
The greater the height of the 
grass to be cut, the more it is 
necessary to reduce the drive 
speed of the machine. This 
will prevent overloading the 
engine and improve the 
quality of the cut.

3. To stop the lawnmower moving forward:

- Release the drive clutch lever [8].

4. To stop the cutting means rotating:

- Release the cutting-means control lever [7].

NOTE:

 It is possible to refrain from using the forward drive while 

mowing in areas with a narrow surface (lanes, borders, etc.).
The drive clutch can be used to move the lawnmower without 
engaging the cutting-means control.

CAUTION:

• Move the cutting-means control lever quickly from one end of its 

travel to the other, so that the cutting means is always either fully 
engaged or fully disengaged. This is to avoid stalling the engine 
and increases the service life of the cutting-means control 
mechanism.
