Collapsing the handle (Illustration A1 )
NOTE
Before the handlebar is folded over, the cutting height must be set to position 3 (40 mm)
or higher
I . The handlebar cannot be folded completely in the two lower cutting
positions.
– 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!
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.
Transporting and securing the equipment (Illustration N )
– If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the carrying
handle at the front and at the back (see Figure N ).
Please take the weight of the machine into consideration before lifting it (see
Technical Data). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
We recommend that two people should always lift or carry the equipment.
– Transport the unit upright on all 4 wheels to avoid damage to the equipment and
personal injury.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll
away before it is secured.
– Remove the collecting bag and secure it separately during transport.
– Secure the equipment with approved load-securing devices (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 marked with a label. The label
contains important details for application. The information on this label must be
heeded when using the tie-down strap.
– For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four
lashing straps. Secure the wheels of the equipment in such a way that it does not
move during transportation.
NOTE
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause
damage.
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.
Sharpening and balancing the blade (Illustration Q )
WARNING
The sharpening and balancing of the blade should be carried out only by an
authorized specialist workshop, since according to the applicable standard DIN
EN 60335, an insulation test must always be carried out following repairs or
maintenance work to insulating components (e.g. blade screws).
An improperly sharpened or unbalanced blade can cause severe vibrations, and
damage the lawnmower.
The cutting edges of the blade must only be ground down to the mark (1) (see
illustration
Q ) on the blade (ring). Warning! Keep to a grinding angle of 30°.
Your professional workshop can check this value - (grinding limit) for you!
WARNING
A blade by which the wear limit (marking) has been exceeded can break off and
spin away; this can cause severe injuries.
Replacing the blade
WARNING
The cutter bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop since an
insulation protection test always has to be carried out after repairs and
maintenance work on insulation parts (e.g. blade screw) in accordance with the
applicable standard DIN EN 60335.
In addition, a wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling can allow the cutter bar
to become loose, which can lead to serious injuries.
– Only use genuine cutter bars for replacement. Non-equivalent spare parts can
damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
– Replacement cutting tool must be marked permanently with the name and/or
company logo of the manufacturer or supplier and the part number.
Servicing the wheels (Illustration S )
Lubricate the wheel bearings once a year or every 15-20 operating hours.
– Remove the wheel caps S .
– Use a socket wrench to loosen the hexagon nut, washer and wheels.
– After the bearings have been lubricated with roller bearing grease "KAJO-Longlife
grease LZR 2", push the wheels back in place, replace the washer, fix the hexagon
nut and tighten until the wheels can just about turn easily but without play. Replace
the wheel caps.
17 TROUBLESHOOTING
Fault Possible cause Remedy
If the motor does not
start 5 seconds after
the unit is started
No power supply. Connect the plug C2 .
Check the fuse.
Power cable damaged.
Get it checked by an
authorised workshop.
Cutting height has been
set too low (grass is too
high and blocks the
starting of the motor). Set a higher cutting height I .
Machine tilts when starting it.
Too much grass waste in
the housing. Clean the cutting chamber of
grass, ensure that the gap
between fan and housing is
kept clean (pull the plug
first!).
Get it checked by an
authorised workshop.
Extreme vibration
Have it checked by an
authorized dealer
Unclean cut, lawn is
yellow
Blade blunt.
Have it sharpened and
balanced by an authorized
dealer
Q .
Cutting height too low.
Adjust to higher cutting height

of cuts when mowing. Tall grass conditions may
dictate that more overlapping
of cuts is required.
Lawn becomes matted. A lawn scarifier can remedy
the problem considerably

Empty the grass collector L .
Cutting height too low for
grass that is too high. Adjust to higher cutting height
I .
Pushing mower too fast. Adjust mowing speed.
Grass not dry. Let grass dry.
Repairs to electrical machines must always be performed only by qualified electricians.
Please do not repair them yourself.
In the case of faults and defects which have not been listed here, please contact the
nearest authorized dealer. This applies in particular to appliances with electrical motors,
as when these are repaired they must always undergo an insulation protection test.
Your authorized dealer will also help you if you do not wish to perform any of the
maintenance work described here yourself.
