as straight as possible.
For uninterrupted mowing, the lines should always
overlap by a few centimetres.
• Do not move backwards.
• On slopes, always work across the slope.
• If the blade comes into contact with a foreign body,
switch off the engine immediately. Wait until the blade
is stationary and check the equipment for damage.
Restart work only if the equipment is undamaged.
• Switch off the equipment during longer breaks and for
transportation and wait until the blade is stationary.
Starting and Stopping the Engine
- Check the petrol and oil levels regularly and refill in
time.
- Start the equipment on a sturdy, level base, if possible
not in long grass. Ensure that the cutting tool is touching
neither objects nor the ground.
Start the Engine:
1. Pull the safety catch (3) towards the handle bar and
hold it.
2. Pull the starter cord (23) and the engine starts.
Stopping the Engine:
3. Release the safety catch (3), the engine stops and the
blade is slowed.
Setting the Cutting Height
The equipment has 8 positions for setting the cutting
height.
1. Pull the lever (18) outwards and push it to the desired
position 1-8 (Fig.11).
2. Push the lever (18) back in.
Emptying the Grass Collection Box
Through the observation window fitted in the rear impact
protection ( 7), you will see when the grass collection
box is full.
1. Stop the engine and wait until the blade is stationary.
2. Lift the rear impact protection (7) and remove the
grass collection box (20).
3. Empty (see “disposal / environmental protection“
chapter) and reassemble the grass collection box (20).
Mowing with the Mulch Kit
When mulch mowing, the grass is cut, chaffed and
spread on the lawn all in one go. The cut grass serves as
a natural fertiliser.
Tips for Mulch Mowing:
• Cut the grass back by 2 cm from a grass height of 4-6
cm.
• Use sharp cutting blades.
• Do not mow wet grass.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Have any repair and maintenance work not
described in these instructions carried out by a
specialist workshop. Use only original replacement
parts. Risk of accidents! Carry out maintenance
and cleaning work strictly with the engine switched
off and spark plug connectors removed. Risk of
injury! Allow the equipment to cool before any
maintenance and cleaning work. Elements of the
engine are hot. Risk of burning!
Cleaning and General Maintenance Work
Tip the Equipment:
To clean the underside of the equipment, tip the
equipment backwards on the upper handle bar (2).
To prevent the equipment from tipping back,
- Remove the grass collection box ( 20) if it is installed.
- Adjust the cutting height to position 8
- Set the upper handle bar (2) to around 5° in the
direction of the equipment.
Do not squash the Bowden cables (4) when doing this.
Risk of injury if the equipment tips back.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a toothbrush or cloth but no
