5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Assembling the components

Some parts of the lawnmower need to be 
assembled. For quick and easy assembly, read 
and follow the instructions below.

Important!

 You will need the following additional 

tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for 
maintenance work:
 

 • 

  A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)

 • 

  A 1 litre measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)

 • 

  A petrol can

 • 

  A funnel (suitable for the tank’s petrol filler neck)

 • 

  Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue; 
dispose of these at a filling station)

 • 

 A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from 
Einhell UK Ltd - call 0151 649 1500 
(IRE 189 094 6244))

 • 

 An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY 
stores)

Assembly

1. Take the mower and attachment parts out 
of the packaging and check that all parts are 
present (Fig. 2).
2. 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 20) and attach the 
push bar (5) using the square head screws (14) 
and the star knobs (17) as shown in Figure 3a.
3. Fasten the top push bar to the bottom push 
bar using a lever cam screw (Fig. 3b/Item 15) 
and a star knob (Fig. 3b/Item 17) on each 
side. Make sure that the lobes of the lever 
cam screws are folded towards the inside so 
that the high speed clamping function 
remains operational.
4. Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/
Item 4) into the hook provided for that purpose 
as shown in Figure 3c.
5. Fasten the cords to the push bar with the 
supplied cable ties (Fig. 3d/Item. 12).
6. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 7) with one 
hand and hook in the grass bag 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.

- 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 8). 
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.

 
6. Operation

Note:

 For detailed information on the engine 

& oil, 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. The oil level in the engine must be 
checked each time before mowing (see the 
Briggs & Stratton manual). You will also need to fill 
the fuel tank with 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 
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. To 
mow, hold the lever in the working position (Fig. 
5b). 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 kinked in 
any way).
