m Note!

Using the drive:

• Engine brake (3): Use the lever to stop the engine.

When you release the lever the engine and the

blade stop automatically.

• Before you start to mow, check the start/stop lever

several times to be sure that it is working properly.

Ensure that the tension cable can be smoothly op-

erated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way).

Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the

engine is started.

Important: Before you start the engine, move the

motor brake several times to be sure that the stop

cable is properly working.

Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is

optimal for cutting and blowing grass into the basket

and is designed to provide many years of use.

• Check the oil level.

Open the fuel tank cap and ll the petrol tank (6)

up to the lower point of the tank inlet with about 0,8

litres of petrol. Use a funnel and a measuring con-

tainer for lling. Do not overll the tank. Use fresh,

clean unleaded fuel.

Never mix oil with petrol. Buy fuel in amounts

which can be used within 30 days in order to guar-

antee its freshness.

Note: Use only unleaded gasoline.

m WARNING

Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke when

refueling. Remove any oil or petrol residues. Switch

o󰀨 the engine before refueling and allow the engine

to cool down for a few minutes.

Start engine (Fig. 14)

• Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the

spark plug.

• Stand behind the mower. One hand squeezes the

engine brake lever (3) to the handle, the other pulls

the pull start.

• Start the engine using the reversing starter (17).

To do this pull the handle approx. 10 – 15 cm (until

you feel a resistance) and then start the engine

with a sharp pull. If the engine does not start, pull

the handle again.

• Due to protective coating on the engine, a small

amount of smoke may be present during the initial

use of the product and should be considered

normal.

Note: Easier starting in colder temperatures by

pressing the primer (Fig. 15/ Pos. 8). Use only by

a cold engine!

m CAUTION!

• Never allow the starter cord to snap back.

• Note: In cold weather, it may be necessary to

repeat the starting process several times.

Stop engine:

• To turn o󰀨 the engine, then the engine brake lever

(3) and wait for the blades to stop.

• Pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug (10)

boot in order to prevent the engine from restarting.

• Before you start the engine again, check the

cord for the engine brake. Check that the cord is

correctly tted. If the cord is kinked or damaged, it

should be replaced.

Before mowing

Important information

• Make sure that you are properly dressed when

mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not

wear sandals or tennis shoes.

• Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or damaged

in any other way must be immediately exchanged

for a genuine replacement blade.

• Do not ll the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in

the open. Use a lling funnel and a measuring jug.

Wipe o󰀨 any spilled petrol.

• Read and follow in the instructions in the operating

manual as well as the information regarding

the engine and accessory equipment. Store

the manual in a place where it can be readily

accessed by other users of the machine.

• Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine

out in the open.

• Make sure that all the guards are tted and that

they are in good working order.

• The machine should only be operated by persons

who are well informed with the way it works, and

who are in reasonably good physical condition.

• It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it is

wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass

when it is dry.

• Advise children and others to keep well away from

the lawn mower.

• Never mow the grass in poor visibility.

• Remove all loose objects from the lawn before you

start mowing the grass.

Tips for proper mowing

m CAUTION! Never open the chute ap when

the catch bag has been detached (to be emptied)

and the engine is still running. The rotating blade

can cause serious injuries!

Always carefully fasten the chute ap and grass

basket. Switch o󰀨 the engine before emptying the

grass basket.

Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the

length of the long handles) is maintained between

the user and the mower housing. Be especially care-

ful when mowing and changing direction on slopes

and inclines.
