Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Cleaning (Illustration O )
Remove dirt and grass residue immediately after finishing mowing. Place the mower on its side and use a brush or cloth to
clean.
ATTENTION
Do not put your fingers into the openings of the fan housing and hold onto the fan. If the blade bar is rotated during
cleaning, there is a risk that your fingers may become caught between the fan and the fan housing!
IMPORTANT
Never spray the mower with water. This may damage the electrical systems.
Storage
Always keep the machine in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of children. Always allow the engine to cool
down before you store the machine in a closed room.
Collapsing the handle (Illustration A1 )
– To save storage space or for transportation, loosen the four wing nuts so that the guide tube can be folded together
without resistance in a Z-shape above the engine A1 .
The toothed plastic adaptations on the bottom bar end must snap out of the cut-out on the housing.
– Do not kink nor squeeze the cable in the process.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage purposes, when loosening the wing nuts and snapping the toothed
plastic adaptations from the cut-out on the housing, it is possible that unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur.
In addition, this may result in crushed points between the top and bottom part of the bar as well as the housing.
This may result in a risk of injury!
Transporting and securing the equipment (Illustration N )
– If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the handle at the front and at the rear N .
– Transport the equipment in the upright posture.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll away before it is secured.
– Hang out the collection bag and secure it separately during transport.
– Secure the equipment with approved load-strapping means (e.g. tie-down straps with clamping elements) on or inside
the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is designated. The label
contains important details for application.
– For loaded goods that can roll, it is recommended to use direct strapping with four belts. Secure the equipment on the
wheels so that it does not move during transportation.
ATTENTION
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause damages.
Maintenance of the blade
A sharp blade guarantees optimum cutting performance. Before you start mowing, always check the condition and firm
attachment of the cutting blade. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the
blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar can become damaged or loose which can lead to
serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must always be replaced.
