Stopping the mower
To minimise possible risk of accidents, the engine of your lawnmower is coupled to the
operator control level. When the operator control lever is released, the engine and the
blade will stop turning automatically.
If there is a build-up of grass beneath the chassis, stop the engine, remove the spark
plug cap and wait until the engine has cooled before clearing the grass.
When the engine has been switched off, the cutter continues running for several seconds
therefore do not touch the underside of the mower until the cutter has come to a standstill!
Check before use!
Check the safe condition of the device:
– Check the device for leaks.
– Check the device for visual defects.
– Check that all parts of the device have been securely fitted.
– Check that all safety devices are in proper condition.
– The safety systems or protection devices of the machine must not be modified or disabled.
– The withdrawing or modification of protection devices components lead to danger of injury.
Danger of injury!

device again.
Once the machine has been set up properly, start the engine as follow:

pull slowly as far as to have a resistance, then pull energetically on the starter handle
with starter rope through the support. (If the cold start is not sufficient enough, repeat
this o peration 2 or 3 times)
