USING THE MOWER
GENERAL
Your new lawn mower combines two different func-
tions in the same machine:
1. "MULTICLIP" (*) - COMBI
When delivered, the machine is equipped with a
plug (P) mounted in the grass evacuation opening
(fig. 28). The machine can be used for "Multiclip",
i.e. when cutting the grass is finely chopped by the
blade. The grass is then spread into the lawn where
it decomposes. In this way, nutrients are put back
into the lawn.
To remove the plug, press in the catch (S). When
remounting the plug, make sure that both the pins
are pressed down into the holes, so that the plug
snaps into place.
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the enclosed grass collector (fig. 5).
Open the cover, remove the plug and this time
hook the collector in place onto the back of the
machine.
During cutting, the grass is collected in the collec-
tor. Empty the grass on the compost heap or
spread it out on the flower bead as fertilizer. The
machine is also excellent for collecting leaves in
the autumn.
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without
any oil in the motor crankcase. The
crankcase must, therefore, be filled
with oil before the motor is started the
first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7). Fill the engine's
crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (service
