– Various fixing parts.
In the unlikely event of a missing part, please contact your dealer.
Opening out the handle (Illustration A1 + E1 + B1 )
– Pull the folded-up Z-shaped guide spar apart and upwards A1 .
– When the guide spar top and bottom section are level, tighten the two knurled nuts by hand E1 .
– Press the ends of the guide spar bottom section so far apart that the two-sided arresting cams pointing inside snap into
the corresponding drill-holes B1 . Three different spar heights can be set.
– Tighten the two knurled nuts firmly by hand B1 .
– Lay the cable into the cable routing on both sides. This prevents the cable being squeezed when the guide spar is
rotated E1 .
– Attach the Bowden pull wires to the bottom section of the guide spar with the aid of cable ties from the tool bag.
CAUTION
When you activate the bar height adjustment, when loosening the grip nuts B1 used to secure the bar bottom to the
housing (only loosen sufficiently to ensure that the bar can be moved freely) and snapping the locking cams out of
the drilled holes on the connecting bar, it is possible that unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur. In addition,
this may result in crushed points between the bar bottom and the bar connection/housing. This may result in a risk
of injury!
Handle starter assembly (Illustration D + L1 )
– The safety control bracket (1) on the upper handle (2) must be folded down before the starter cable can be suspended.
– Pull out the starter cable (3) slowly and fit in the starter handle mount (4) with a twist motion.
Attaching the grass collector to the mower (Illustration R1 + S1 )
– First insert the grass bag frame with the clip forward into the grass bag. Please make sure that the protective corners of
the collection material cover the back corners of the collecting bag frame. Align the upper seams of the bag with the clip.
– Press the retaining profiles of the collecting sack onto the bars of the collecting sack frame R1 .
– Open the ejection flap of the mower upwards.
– Pick up the collecting sack by the carrying strap, place the chute (1)
R1 at the collecting sack opening into the ejection
flap and hang it in the mower casing with its two side hooks upwards S1 .
– Attach ejection flap to collector.
Adjusting the cutting height (Illustration I )
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
– The cutting height is set on the left hand side of the lawnmower
– Press the button with your thumb (1) and move the handle of the lawnmower into the required position by moving it up
or down (2).
– By letting go of the button, the lever locks into the required cutting height.
– The marking on the left of the housing indicates the cutting height.
IMPORTANT
Mowing at the lowest cutting height should only be carried out on level and plane lawns!
Please observe that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for optimal conditions. If you select cutting
height that is too low, the turf can be damaged and under certain circumstances it can even be destroyed.
The cutting height influences the cutting pattern and collection result. Adapt the cutting height to the grass height
to be cut.
8 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Check that all connections and the spark plug connector are fitted firmly. Tighten the screws if necessary! In particular make
sure that the cutter bar is fitted correctly (see Chapter “Maintenance of the blade”).
The blade attachment screw should always be fitted and tightened by a specialist workshop. If the blade attachment screw is
too tight or too loose, the blade clutch and blade can be damaged or become detached, which can cause severe injury.
Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly and are not damaged.
