Adjusting the Cutting Height
1. Adjust the mowing height with the adjusting handle (5). Lift up the chassis
for low cutting height and low down the chassis for high cutting height.
2. Pull the adjusting handle (5) slightly in direction to the wheel and engage
the pin on the handle to the desired opening. Preferably start with middle
height setting, as the middle setting is suitable for the most lawns. The
cutting height can be adjusted from 20 up to max. 75 mm.
Do not adjust the cutting height while the engine is running.
When mowing long grass, lift up the cutting height to the max. setting in
order to reduce pushing effort and engine overload. If the engine becomes
overloaded grass residue will be formed. In this case move the lawn
mower a second time over the already mowed path.
Starting the Engine
Before each operation make sure the machine contains sufficient engine oil
and fuel.
1. According to the ambient temperature press the primer several times in
order to pump fuel into the carburettor.

2. Pull the safety lever (6) in direction to the handlebar (7) and hold both
handles firmly with one hand.
3. Pull with the other hand the starter handle (13) until a resistance is felt.
Then roughly and rapidly pull upwards. When releasing the starter handle
make sure it does not whip back to the housing.
When staring a cold engine for the first time, it might be necessary to pull
the starter handle several times in order to evenly distribute the engine oil
and fuel and to start the engine.
