General Information
This lawn mower is intended for the care of grass and lawns in
private gardens. Because of the physical hazard to the operator
the lawn mower may not be used:
- to trim shrubs, hedges and bushes,
- for cutting climbing plants,
- for mowing lawns in roof gardens,
- for trimming plants in balcony boxes,
- for cleaning pavements or other paved areas (vacuuming
- blowing away - removing snow),
- for shredding and cutting up tree and hedge cuttings
- as a tractor device (for self-propelled mowers)
- for lawn turning devices, spreading devices, trailers e.g. for pas-
sengers, transporting cuttings (except in the grass collection box
provided).
• Never mow your lawn if persons, particularly children, or ani-
mals are in the vicinity.
• Mow only in daylight or with appropriate artificial lighting.
Before Mowing
• Never mow without wearing sturdy footwear and long trou-
sers: Never mow barefoot or in open sandals.
• Attach the baffle provided and/or grass box. Make certain that
it is firmly fitted. Operation without or with damaged protective
equipment is forbidden.
• Examine the area on which the machine is to be used and
remove all objects which are capable of being contacted or
thrown by the mower or its blade.
• Check the machine to make certain that all fasteners, bolts &
nuts are tightly fitted; check also for signs of damage or seri-
ous wear.
• Observe the installation instructions when replacing parts - if
in doubt always refer to your WOLF Service Centre.
• Examine the grass box regularly for wear or damage -
replace as necessary.
• Mowers fitted with four-stroke engines must be provided with
engine oil before the first start-up (see „Filling Oil”).
• Check the oil level before each use.
WARNING - petrol is highly inflammable! Do not smoke. Do
not refuel in any area where there may be a naked flame.
• Keep fuel only in purpose-designed containers.
• Only refuel outdoors.
• Pour in fuel (REGULAR GRADE FUEL) before starting the
engine.
• Always firmly tighten petrol filler cap.
• Do not refuel or remove the tank filler cap while the engine is
running or when the machine is hot.
• Do not attempt to start the engine if gasoline spills out.
Instead, the machine should be removed from the area where
the petrol was spilled. Any attempt to start the mower should
be delayed until the fuel vapours have evaporated.
• Replace the engine exhaust silencer if defective.
Safety instructions
• Before use a visual inspection should also be made in order to
determine whether the blade, fasteners and the mower deck are
worn or damaged. In order to avoid damaging vibration caused by
imbalance, worn out or damaged blades and fittings must only be
replaced as a set.
• For safety reasons the fuel filler cap must be replaced when dam-
aged.
• Check the fuel line connections, air filter fittings, etc. for tightness.
When starting the engine
• Only start the engine if your hands and feet are at safe dis-
tance from the mower deck and blade.
• Before you start the engine, disengage the drive.
• When starting or switching on the engine the lawn mower must
not be tilted, unless the lawn mower must be raised for the pro-
cedure. In this case, you tilt it only so far as is absolutely nec-
essary and only raise the side turned away from the operator.
• Do not let the engine run in closed areas in which dangerous
carbon monoxide may accumulate.
• Start the mower on an even surface, not in tall grass.
• Do not start the engine if you are standing in front of the dis-
charge channel.
When Mowing
• WARNING, DANGER! Rotating blade!
• Do not attempt to touch the blade when it is running.
• Observe the safety distance provided by the handlebars and bail
arms.
• Only start the engine if your feet are at a safe distance from the
blade.
• Make certain that you have a secure foothold, particularly on
slopes. Never run, always walk calmly.
• Always mow slopes along the contours, not up and down the
slope.
• Particular care is required on slopes as you change direction.
• Be particularly careful when you turn the mower and pull it towards
you.
• Switch off the mower, if you tilt it, run it dry or when transporting it.
• Never use the lawn mower with damaged protection guards,
safety devices or grilles or without the protection devices
attached, e.g. baffle plates and/or grass box.
• Do not change the governor adjustment of the engine or
attempt to adjust it.
• The blade must be stopped if the lawn mower is moved off the
lawn.
• Before you raise or carry the mower switch off the engine off
and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop.
• Adjust the cutting height only with the engine switched off and
with the blade at a standstill.
• Never open the protection flap if the engine is still running.
• Before removing the grass box: Turn off the engine and wait
for the blade to stop. Carefully refit the grass box after empty-
ing.
• Never drive over gravel with the engine running - stones can
be thrown by contact with the blade!
• Where possible, do not mow in wet grass. If the mower
appears to have blocked, turn off the engine, remove the spark
plug lead and wait until the blade comes to a standstill if, for
example:
- to free a blockage in the ejection channel
- to examine or clean the mower
- if a foreign body is encountered. Check whether mower
deck or blade have been damaged. Then correct or repair
the damage before recommencing mowing.
- if the mower strongly vibrates from imbalance (then switch
off immediately and look for the cause).
• NOTE: Danger when grass box equipment is inappropriately handled.
• If the mower is a self-propelled version then release the drive
clutch bail before you switch on the engine. Do not touch
engine or exhaust during or shortly after operation. Hot parts
can lead to burns or provoke frightened movements which may
lead to injuries.
• Turn the engine off if you the leave the lawn mower unat-
tended and before you refuel.
