HANDLE (Type III)
1. Unscrew the locking wheels from the chassis
and secure the lower part of the handle onto
screws B (fig. 3).
2. Secure the upper part of the handle with wash-
ers and locking wheels. There is a lug on the
right hand side for the starter handle (fig. 1).
3. Then tighten the locking wheels onto the lower
part of the handle. When these have been tight-
ened, the height of the handle can be adjusted.
CABLE HOLDER
Secure the cables in the cable holders (fig. 4):
D: Start/Stop cable + Clutch cable (*)
E: Throttle cable (*) + Clutch cable (*)
F: Electric cable (*) + Variator cable (*)
VARIATOR CONTROL (*)
When the mower is delivered, the variator cable is
set so that the transmission cannot be damaged.
The cable may need tightening, see under heading
“ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE“ in the section
“MAINTENANCE“.
GRASS COLLECTOR
Raise the collector flap and attach the two brack-
ets to the grass collector with the screws provided.
The brackets are marked with «L» and «R» and
should be installed at the corresponding mark on
the rear of the mower (fig. 5).
Fabric grass collector (*): Fit the fabric bag over
the steel frame and then snap the bag onto the
plastic lid (fig. 6).
Plastic grass collector (*): Snap together both
halves and then the upper part (fig. 7).
Open the flap on the machine and attach the grass
collector to the brackets.
NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without
the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line
behind the machine.
BATTERY (*)
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and
corrosive. It can cause serious corrosion
damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes
and clothing.
Before starting for the first time the battery should
be charged for 24 hours, see further information
under the heading MAINTENANCE, BATTERY.
Insert ignition key (*) into the ignition lock.
USING THE MOWER
COMBI (*)
Your new lawnmower combines two different func-
tions in the same machine:
1. “MULCHING“
The machine comes equipped with a plug (P),
installed in the ejector opening (fig. 8). The machine
can be used for ‘Mulching’ i.e. the blade finely cuts
up the grass during mowing. The grass then falls
into the lawn where it is allowed to rot.
This provides the lawn with nourishment.
To remove the plug, press in the catch (R - fig. 8a).
On reinstalling the plug ensure that both pins are
pressed firmly into the holes so that the plug snaps
in place.
43 cm Combi:
To remove the plug, unscrew the wing nut (fig. 8b).
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the grass collector provided (fig. 6, 7).
Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook
the collector onto the rear of the machine.
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec-
tor.
Empty the grass onto the compost heap or spread
it over borders as fertiliser. The machine is also
ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.
3. REAR EJECTION
Use the mower without the plug or the grass col-
lector (flap closed). The grass is released behind
the machine without being cut up.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. Press in the Start/Stop loop G towards the han-
dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loop G must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
9).
4a Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and start
the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.
4b Electric start (K*): Start the engine by turning
the ignition key clockwise. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts. Always make short
attempts at starting in order to prevent dis-
charging the battery.
5. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
