m WARNING

Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke when re-

fueling. Remove any oil or petrol residues. Switch off

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 han-

dle 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 nor-

mal.

m CAUTION!

• Never allow the starter cord to snap back.

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

peat the starting process several times.

Turn off the engine:

• To turn off the engine, release the drive lever (2),

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 off 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 bas-

ket. Switch off 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 careful

when mowing and changing direction on slopes and

inclines. 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!

Mulching

In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in the

enclosed mower housing and then spread back onto

the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dispose of

the grass.

m Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is rela-

tively short.

To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris

bag (16), slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 10-12 / 19)

into the ejector opening and close the ejector open-

ing (15).

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.
