Emptying The Grass Basket; After Mowing - MIGROS DO IT+GARDEN BM 42 Mode D'emploi

Replace any parts that are damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:
1. Pay attention to ensure that you do not run
into or over anything that could damage the
mower.
The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the
machine could inflict bodily injury.
2. A hot engine, exhaust can burn the skin if
touched. Thus, do not touch these parts unless
the mower has been switched off for a while and
you know that they have cooled down!
3. Use extra caution when mowing on inclines
and steep grades.
4. Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of
artificial light is one reason not to mow.
5. Check the mower, the blade and other parts if
they have struck a foreign object or if the
machine vibrates more than usual.
6. Do not make any adjustments or repairs until
the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug
boot.
7. Pay special attention if you are mowing directly
next to a street or are close by one (traffic).
Always keep the grass chute pointed away from
the street.
8. Avoid mowing in places where the wheels
have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in
any other way. Before you back up, ensure that
nobody is standing behind you (especially little
children, who are more difficult to see).
9. When mowing over thick, high grass, select the
highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.
Before you remove any grass or blockages of
any kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug
boot.
10. Never remove any safety-related parts.
11. Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot
or is running.

6.4 Emptying the grass basket

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute flap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle (Fig. 11). Remove the basket.
For safety reasons, the chute flap automatically
falls down after removing the grass basket and
closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass
remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart
the engine if you pull the mower back approx. 1
meter.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove
clippings in or on the mower housing, but
instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a
hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass
clippings are picked up, the inside of both the
catch bag and especially the air grill must be
cleaned after each use.
Reattach the catch bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while
grabbing onto the basket handle with the other.
Hang in the basket from the top.

6.5 After mowing

1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the
lawn mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on
top of the mower.
3. Check all the screws and nuts once more
before you start to use the lawn mower again.
Tighten any loose screws.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
