Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip

footwear and long trousers. Always mow along the

incline (not up and down).

For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used

to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.

Use special caution when backing up and pulling the

lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

Mowing

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.

This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and

the lawn from turning yellow. Try to mow in straight

lines for a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the mowing

swaths should always overlap each other by a few

centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and

remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it

more di󰀩cult to start the mower; they decrease the

quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine

to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up

and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the

hill while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding

out of the straight line. Select the cutting height

according to the length of the grass.

If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it several

times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are cut

at one time. Switch o󰀨 the engine before doing

any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the

blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after

the engine has been switched o󰀨. Never attempt to

manually stop the blade.

Regularly check to see if the blade is securely

attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If

the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or

replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an

object,immediately switch o󰀨 the lawn mower and

wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then

inspect the condition of the blade and the blade

mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.

Tips for proper mowing:

• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into

or over anything that could damage the mower.

The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the

machine could inict bodily injury.

• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the

skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts

unless the mower has been switched o󰀨 for a

while and you know that they have cooled down!

• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and

steep grades.

• Insu󰀩cient daylight or even a su󰀩cient level of

articial light is one reason not to mow.

• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if

they have struck a foreign object or if the machine

vibrates more than usual.

• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the

engine has been switched o󰀨. Pull the plug boot.

• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly

next to a street or are close by one (tra󰀩c). Always

keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.

• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have

trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other

way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is

standing behind you (especially little children, who

are more di󰀩cult to see).

• When mowing over thick, high grass, select the

highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.

Before you remove any grass or blockages of any

kind, switch o󰀨 the engine and pull the plug boot.

• Never remove any safety-related parts.

• Never ll the engine with petrol when it is hot or is

running.

Emptying the grass basket

The debris bag (16) is equipped with a lling level

indicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened by the air

current produced by the mower. If the ap falls dur-

ing mowing, the debris bag (16) is full and should

be emptied. To ensure that the lling level indicator

works properly, the holes under the ap must be kept

clean and permeable.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn

mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.

m WARNING

Before taking o󰀨 the grass basket, switch o󰀨 the

engine and wait until the blade has come to a

stop.

To take o󰀨 the grass basket (16), use one hand to

lift up the chute ap (15) and the other to grab onto

the basket handle (Fig.16). Remove the basket. For

safety reasons, the chute ap (15) automatically falls

down after removing the grass basket and closes o󰀨

the rear chute opening.

If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier

to restart the engine if you pull the mower back

approx. 1 meter. Do not use your hands or feet to

remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but

instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand

broom.

In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings

are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket

(16) and especially the air grill must be cleaned

after each use. Reattach the grass basket (16) only

when the engine is switched o󰀨 and the blade is

stopped. Using one hand, lift up the chute ap (15),

while grabbing onto the basket handle with the other.

Hang in the basket from the top. Fig. 9
