– It may be necessary to repeat the starting
procedure.
– After the engine has been started set the operat-
ing lever (1) to “Max/Start” (3).
– If a
warm engine
is started, set the operating lever
to “Max/Start” (3) and start engine as described
above.
– Should the engine fail to start, proceed as for a
cold engine.
– As soon as the engine has started, set the operat-
ing lever (1) to position “Max/Start” (3). The
engine functions best in this position at a maxi-
mum speed that is necessary for a clean cut
(engine speed = cutter speed).
CAUTION
W
The motor will only run when the safety switch
contact is pressed onto the upper part of
the handle. As soon as the switch contact is
released, it will spring back to its starting
position, the motor brake will be activated,
and within a few seconds, the mower will
come to a standstill.
NOTE
The engine brake is required by law for safety
technical reasons.
WARNING
The cutter works as soon as the engine starts to
run! Make sure that hands and feet are kept away
from beneath the housing.
The engine must be switched off whenever you
leave the mower unattended (e.g. to empty the
grass collector). The spark plug connector
must also be removed when working on the
mower.
7.
Mowing
For your own safety you should observe the safety
instructions at the beginning of these operating
instructions.
In order to avoid engine damage the mower should
not be used on slopes of more than 27°.
Otherwise there is the danger of insufficient
lubrication!
Operation with collector
WARNING
W
The grass ejection flap may only be opened
when the engine has been switched off.
The same applies to the removal of the safety
device and of the grass collector.
During mowing ensure that the collector is emptied
in good time.
The turbo indicator on the collector will indicate
when the collector should be emptied.
Turbo indicator (showing when grass
collector is full)
!
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 mowing.
20
– Ensure that the adjustment knob is locked in cross
position each time the cutting height has been
altered.

Before using the lawn-mower for the first time
Check that all connections and spark plug connec-
tor are positioned correctly. Pay particular attention
to the correct fixing of the cutter bar (cf. here sec-
tion “sharpening and replacing the cutter bar”).
Tighten the screws if necessary! Check the screwed
connection again after approx. 20 operating hours!
Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly
and are not damaged!
Filling with oil
8
– Before starting the mower the first time fill 0,5 litre
motor oil (See Technical Data) into this opening
using a funnel after unscrewing the oil dipstick.
– Pour in oil slowly up to the maximum mark on the
dipstick. Do not pour in too much oil.
– Check the oil level.
Remove the oil dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a
clean cloth and then screw the dipstick back as
far as it will go. Then withdraw the dipstick once
again and read off the oil level. The dipstick must
always be screwed firmly in place when the
motor is running.
– Replace oil dipstick and retighten.
Filling up with fuel
W
Special care must be taken when handling
fuel. Never fill up when the engine is hot!
Never allow the engine to run in enclosed
spaces (danger to health!).
– Only use fresh and clean unleaded 2 star
petrol.
W
Smoking is forbidden when working
with petrol.
– Unscrew tank cap.
– Fill tank with fuel using a funnel up to the lower
edge of the filler at the most.
W
Do NOT allow
to overflow!
Replace tank cap and tighten.
6.
Starting the engine
9
+
=
Only start the engine from the
righthand
side of the
mower. Place the mower on a level surface where
the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start
of the cutter bar and makes starting more difficult).
Where this is not possible, position the mower in such
a way that the cutter is facing diagonally in the
direction away from the user.
– If the engine is
cold
, shift operating lever of the
engine (1) on handle to “Start” (2).
– Press the safety switch bow (4) onto the upper
handle (5) and hold tight.
– Pull on the starter cable (6) vigorosuly.
– The engine will start to run; allow the cable to return.
