IMPORTANT
Make sure that the chute (3) R1 is not bent when handling the collector.
Turbo signal (shows when the grass collector is full) (Illustration J + K )
There is an indicator on the top of the collector that shows whether the collector is empty or full:
– The collector indicator inflates if the collector is empty and during the mowing J .
– If the collector is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop mowing immediately and empty the collector K .
IMPORTANT
If the fabric of the grass collector is very dirty the turbo indicator will not inflate – in this case, clean the fabric
immediately. The grass collector will only collect grass perfectly if it is permeable to air.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!
Emptying the grass collector (Illustration L )
– Switch off engine.
– Lift ejection flap.
– Unhinge the full grass collector from the mower at the carrying strap – the ejection flap closes automatically.
– Empty the collector thoroughly whilst holding it by the carrying strap and the moulded handle on the bottom.
Operation without grass collector
WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower housing must always be closed (flap down).
13 MOWING
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Mowing on slopes
NOTE
The mower can be driven on banks and slopes at an angle of up to 25°. Any steeper slopes can lead to engine
damage.
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you not to exploit this theoretical performance potential.
Always make sure you have a firm stance. Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes of more
than 15°. Stability may be lost!
Checking the oil level
Check oil level each time prior to mowing Y1 . Never let the engine to run with too little or too much oil. Irreparable damages
could occur.
Checking operating safety
Before every mowing job, make sure that the safety control bar for the engine brake is working perfectly. When the control
bar is released, the engine and cutter bar must come to a standstill within three seconds. If this is not the case, please
consult your nearest authorised workshop.
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not damaged.
To avoid risk, check the condition and firm attachment of the blade before every mowing job. 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. (refer here to the chapter "Cutter blade care").
In addition, check the fan, blade coupling and fan housing every 10 operating hours for wear and a tight fit. Also check
screws and nuts for a firm fit and tighten if necessary!
Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Contact is only dangerous if the plug connector has not been installed
correctly. Never pull the plug connector off with the engine running! Danger: electric shock.
If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an authorised workshop check whether
any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed. Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
Time restrictions
The time at which lawnmowers may be used varies from region to region. Please ask the corresponding authorities before
using your mower.
