Operating instructions – Lawn mower with IC engine
Detaching and emptying
the grass sack
(for lawn mowers without grass
catchers)
Fig. 11
If cut grass is left lying on the
ground or if the level indicator
(optional, Fig. 12) indicates that
the basket is full:
Release safety hoop and wait
until the engine stops.
Lift the deflector flap and unhook
the grass sack.
Empty out the contents.
Working without the grass sack
Whenever you detach the grass
sack, the deflector flap drops down.
When working without a grass
catcher, the mowed grass is
ejected directly downwards.
Retrofitting for mulching
(for units with optional mulcher)
Units with rear discharge:
Fig. 8A
Lift the ejection flap.
Remove the grass catcher.
Insert mulch key (depending on
model).
Lower the ejection flap.
Note
Models with integrated mulching
function do not require a separate
mulch key – a specially shaped rear
flap assumes this function
(Fig. 8B).
Units with side discharge:
Fig. 9
Attach impact protection/mulch
lock instead of the side discharge
(Fig. 9A)
or
Remove side discharge – impact
protection/mulch lock closes
automatically (Fig. 9B).
Changing units over to side
discharge
(depending on model)
If fitted:
Remove grass catcher and lower
the rear discharge flap.
Lift impact protection/mulch lock
and attach side discharge
(Fig. 9C).
After finishing work
Remove the ignition key (if used).
Wait until all moving parts have
come to a complete stop and the
engine has cooled down.
Turn off the fuel tap (if fitted –
see engine manual).
Disconnect the spark plug
terminal on the engine.
Empty the grass sack.
Remove starter battery from
the engine – Fig. 16.
Recharge battery if required.
Fig. 17
To check the battery charge,
press the button (1) on the
battery. The LEDs (2) indicate
the approximate battery charge.
If an LED is flashing, recharge
the battery immediately.
Note
Leave engine to cool down before
placing unit in closed room.
Tips on lawn care
Here are some tips to help you
keep your lawn looking healthy
and ensure uniform growth.
Mowing
Lawns consist of various grass
types. Frequent mowing promotes
the growth of grass, resulting in
strong roots and a firm sward.
If you seldom cut the grass, you will
enhance the development of high-
growing types of grass and other
weeds, such as clover, daisies).
The normal height of a lawn is
approx. 4–5 cm. Only
height should be mown; therefore
cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal
height.
Try not to cut the grass shorter than
4 cm, otherwise the lawn will suffer
during dry periods.
If the grass has grown particularly
high (for example, during a holiday
period), cut it back to its normal
height in several stages.
When mowing, always overlap the
mown swaths slightly.
Mulching (using the
accessories)
The grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) and left to lie on the
lawn. The lawn therefore retains
a lot of nutrients.
For the best possible result the
grass must always be kept short,
see also section "Mowing".
Observe the following when
mulching:
– Do not mow wet grass.
– Never mow more than 2 cm.
– Mow slowly.
– Use the maximum engine speed.
– Clean the cutters regularly.
Transporting
the appliance
Short distances by hand
Danger
!
Objects may be caught and ejected

cause injury and/or damage.
First stop the engine before moving
it over surfaces other than grass.
Using a vehicle
Danger
!
Before transportation, always stop
the engine and leave to cool down.
Remove spark-plug terminal.
The appliance must not be tilted
when it is transported.
For transport on or in a vehicle,
secure the appliance adequately
against slipping.
Empty the fuel tank before
transporting the unit. Filler cap
