6. Preparing the equipment for use

6.1 Assembly

Your lawnmower will be ready for use in only a few
steps.
Securing the handle:
Open locking screws (8)
Pivot the upper handle into the required position
– if required, release locking screws (8) a little.
Turn the open locking screw far enough inwards
to ensure that both handle parts sit closely
together when the locking levers are closed. If
required, either tighten or relax the locking
screws by one full turn.
Tip: Lock the locking screw levers upwards to ensure
that, whilst mowing, the screws do not catch on
shrubs.
Secure the Bowden and other cables in the cable
guides.
Folding the handle again for transport or storage:
When folding the handle, open both locking screws
upwards and tilt the upper handle forward.
Note: On lawnmowers with self-drive, push the
control bar (2) against the handle, before folding the
handle over, to prevent damaging the spark plug
Starter handle inserted in the cable guide
Release the engine brake by bushing brake lever, A
(1), to the handle, (546RT release the locking lever
(16), and press the control bar A (1) against the
handle). Put the starter grip (5) in the cable guide
which is located on the upper handle part.
Attention: When folding and unfolding the handle,
pay special attention that the Bowden cables are not
bent and run smoothly..
Caution! Assure that Bowden cables are not caught
up anywhere and that they have not become
damaged during transport!

Caution! Assemble and disassemble grass catching
device only when engine is shut off!
To install grass catching device, lift ejection shield
(7), with one hand. With the other hand, hold grass
catching device (6), at the carrying grip and link into
mower deck at an angle from above.

6.3 Adjusting cutting height

Fig. 4
The mower is equipped with a continuously
adjustable cutting height of approx. 30 - 75 mm
(approx. 1 - 3 inches). The height adjustment for all
wheels is accomplished by the central adjustment
(position 11). Turning to the right reduces the
cutting height, and turning to the left increases the
height. The height can be read from the markings.
Attention: The cutting height is to be set so that
the blade does not touch the ground when the
ground is not level. Only mow with the lowest
cutting adjustment when lawns are flat.
