The following unit parts are included in the package for mower assembly:

• Tool bag containing the following:
– Operator’s manual with Declaration of Conformity
– Warranty conditions (depending on model)
– Diverse attachment parts.

NOTE
Always remove the spark plug connector before fitting the bar and the starter
cable holder. Following assembly, at the latest before starting the engine, push
the spark plug connector back in place.
Opening out the handle (Illustration A1 + B1 + E1 )
Pull on the handlebar which is collapsed in a Z-shape upwards into place in the
following sequence:
– First lift the bottom part of the handlebar (1) A1 , push the ends of this bottom part
as far apart as necessary for the locking cams facing the inside (2) to lock into the
respective bore holes
B1 .
Three different handlebar heights can be set.
Note
Make sure the throttle cables are not twisted when moving the bottom part of
the handlebar.
– Push one curved washer (4) and a spacing bush (5) onto the two upper bolts for
attachment, and screw in place using a hexagon nut (6) B1 (out of the tool bag).
– Now lift the top part of the handlebar (7). When the top and bottom parts of the
handlebar are on the same level, firmly tighten the handle nuts (8) by hand E1 .
Note
When lifting the top part of the handlebore make sure that the throttle cables
do not become jammed.
CAUTION
During adjustment of the bar height, the bar may fold over unintentionally during
loosening of the hexagon nut (6) B1 used to fix the base of the bar to the
housing and snapping the locking cams out of the bore holes in the handlebar
connection. In addition, beware of potential crushing spots between the base of
the bar and the bar connection point/housing. This may result in risk of injury!
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the handlebars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along
the outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical
defect of the equipment.
Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )
– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the nut until the two halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable
holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Push the motor stop safety control bar (3) onto the top part of the bar (4) and hold
it tight, pull the starter cable (5) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves (6) together, tighten the nut again. This prevents the starter
cable popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable
is freely accessible and does not rub against any other parts.
Attaching the grass collector to the mower (Illustration R1 + S1 )
– Insert the collection bag frame with the bar first into the grass catch. Align the
upper seams of the grass catch on the bar.
– Press the holding profile onto the frame of the collection bag frame R1 .
– Open the ejection flap of the mower upwards.
– Lift the grass collection bag on the carrier bar, insert the chute (1) R1 on the
collection bag opening into the ejection flap and hang the grass collection bag with
the two side hooks to the top of the mower housing
S1 .
– Fold the ejection flap onto the grass collection bag.
Adjusting the cutting height (Illustration I )
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
– Pull the lever (1) on each wheel towards the wheel and latch; again after lateral
movement to the desired position.
– All four levers should be in the same position!
CAUTION
When setting the cutting height, hold the setting lever as depicted in the
illustration I . In this way, the hand is prevented from sliding off and getting
injured when setting.
IMPORTANT
Mowing at the lowest cutting height should only be carried out on level and plane
lawns!
Please note that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for optimum
conditions. If you select cutting height that is too low, the turf may be damaged
and under certain circumstances even destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, the driving speed also influences the cutting pattern
and collection result. Adapt the cutting height and driving speed to the grass
height to be cut, the motor drive may not need to be switched on.

BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the
screws if necessary! Attachment of the cutter bar must be checked in particular (refer
here to the chapter "Cutter bar care").
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.
