Cutting and mulching
With the mulching wedge being inserted, grass is not ejected
but it is ground by the cutting knives and the grass remains on
the lawn as surface fertilisation (side ejection must be closed).
Cutting and collecting
The grass is collected to the grass catcher (catcher capacity
is reduced if the grass is damp or wet). To mount the catcher
to the mower, lift the cover plate and fit the grass catcher.
Cutting (without grass catcher)
The cut grass is laid in strips.
Cutting (side ejection)
The cut grass is laid in strips. Lift the side flap and fit the side
ejection hooks to the side flap axis. Then, let the side flap
down and make sure the side ejection is fitted properly.
Changeover to mulching
1. Assembly and disassembly of accessories must always
take place when the engine is switched off.
2. Remove the grass catcher, insert the mulching wedge to
the ejection channel and lock the mulching wedge (1) point it
against two outlets (2) in the bottom part and ensure it with a
self-securing hook (3).
3. Please make sure the mulching wedge is mounted firmly
after the changeover.
4. Attention!!! Use original equipment from the producer
only.
5. Disassembly
Press with thumb in the middle (3) then release and deflect
the mulching wedge downwards.
Attention!!!
If the mower is blocked during mulching reduce the
travelling speed so that the knife could continue in
grinding the grass and spread it on the lawn. Never
remove the gathered grass with your hands.
DRIVE CONTROL
The self-propelling travel is controlled as follows: Press the
operation lever (lever for automatic stopping) (12) towards the
handle and simultaneously press the drive lever towards the
handle (13).
The forward movement is stopped by releasing the drive lever
(13).

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Depending on the cutting height required it is necessary to
adjust the height of wheels. Adjust the height with the lever (8)
as you wish. The middle position is most suitable at most
mowers.
ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING
The oil level needs to be checked before each use. Fill up oil
as needed (500 ml SAE30 engine oil).
OIL FUNNEL CAP – OIL DIPSTICK
UPPER LIMIT
BOTTOM LIMIT
The mower is supplied without oil in the engine.
WARNING: Be careful not to overfill the engine with oil,
failing which the absorber would smoke when starting.
1. Make sure the mower stands on a flat surface.
2. Take out the oil tank cover.
3. Insert the oil dipstick and fix it.
IMPORTANT:
The oil level needs to be checked before each use. If
•
necessary, add oil to the marking on the oil dipstick.

The oil must be changed after 25 hours of operation or
each season. At works in a dusty or polluted environment
the oil may need to be changed more often. See " OIL
CHANGE " in the Maintenance article in these operating
instructions (SAE 30).
FUEL ADDING (unleaded petrol)
• The fuel is added through the filling hole in the tank.
Pay attention not to spill the petrol. Use common

Always buy only reasonable volume of petrol so that
you could consume it within 30 days.
