Using one hand, lift up the chute ap (15), while grab-

bing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in

the basket from the top. Fig. 9

After mowing

• Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn

mower in an enclosed area.

Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before stor-

ing the mower. Do not place any objects on top of

the mower.

• Check all the screws and nuts once more before

you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any

loose screws.

• Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).

• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized

use.

• Ensure that you do not park the mower next to any

source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to explo-

sions.

• Only original parts or parts approved by the manu-

facturer may be used for repairs (see address on

the warranty certicate).

• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an ex-

tended period, empty the petrol tank using a petrol

suction pump.

• Oil and maintain the machine.

9. Maintenance and cleaning

• Regular, careful maintenance is required to guar-

antee the safety level and performance of the ma-

chine.

• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight-

ened securely and that the machine is in safe work-

ing condition.

• Routinely check the grass basket for signs of wear

and impaired functionality.

Regularly clean the grass box with water and let it

dry thoroughly.

• For your own safety, replace worn or damaged

parts without delay.

• If the fuel tank should require emptying this should

only be done in the open air using a petrol suction

pump (available from DIY shops).

m WARNING

Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ig-

nition unit with the engine running. Always pull the

spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting

any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any

work on the machine while it is running. Any work not

described in these Operating Instructions must be

performed by an authorized service workshop only.

Cleaning

The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after

every use, especially the underneath and the blade

mount.

• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and

steep grades.

• Insufcient daylight or even a suf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 vi-

brates more than usual.

• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the

engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.

• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly

next to a street or are close by one (traf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 dif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 off 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 in-

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

produced by the mower. If the ap falls during mow-

ing, the debris bag (16) is full and should be emptied.

To ensure that the lling level indicator works prop-

erly, the holes under the ap must be kept clean and

permeable.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mow-

er, it is time to empty the grass basket.

m WARNING

Before taking off the grass basket, switch off

the engine and wait until the blade has come to

a stop.

To take off 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 off

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 clip-

pings 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 off and the blade is stopped.
