Before Starting The Equipment; Setting The Cutting Heights - EINHELL BG-EM 1030 Mode D'emploi D'origine

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
The lawn mower is delivered unassembled. The
complete push bar and the grass collector must
be assembled before using the lawn mower. Fol-
low the operating instructions step-by-step and
use the pictures provided as a visual guide to
easily assemble the machine.
5.1 Fitting the push bar (Fig. 3a to 3d)
Fit a bottom push bar (Fig. 3a / Item 8) into the
opening provided for it (Fig. 3a) and secure it as
shown in Fig. 3b with a screw (Fig. 3b / Item 9).
Proceed in the same way on the other side.
When you fi t the top push bar you can decide the
height of the push bar by selecting the appropri-
ate fastening hole (Fig. 3c). Fasten the top push
bar using either the holes L for a low position or H
for a high position. Screw the top push bar to the
bottom push bar as shown in Fig. 3d.
5.2 Fitting the grass box (Fig. 4a to 4d)
Fit the two halves of the grass box together (Fig.
4a / Item 12). The two halves are identical. Ensure
that all the plastic lugs engage correctly. Next
push the grass box handle (Fig. 4b / Item 13) into
the openings on the grass box.
Before you fi t the grass bag you must ensure that
the motor is switched off and the blade is not
rotating. The grass box must be attached to the
two hooks on the mower (Fig. 4c / Item A). To do
this, open the ejector fl ap with one hand (Fig. 4d
/ Item 5) and attach the grass box with the other
hand as shown in Fig. 4d. The ejector fl ap is held
against the grass box by a spring.
5.3 Fitting the wheels (5a and 5b)
Fit the four wheels (Fig. 2/Item 14) as shown
in Fig. 5a. Turn the wheel caps (Fig. 5a/Item A)
clockwise to tighten them. Fit all four wheels in the
same position (Fig. 5b).

5.4 Setting the cutting heights

Important!
Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is
switched off and the power cable has been dis-
connected.

Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners
are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace
blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry out this
check, fi rst switch off the motor and pull out the
power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as follows. Turn the
hub cap counter-clockwise to release the axle
(Fig. 5a) and remove the hub cap together with
the screw and wheel. The wheel can now be fi tted
in position 1, 2 or 3 (Fig. 5b) to suit the required
cutting height. Fit all four wheels at the same
height so that the cutting blade runs parallel to
the lawn.

Power supply
The lawn mower can be connected to any light
socket-outlet with a 230 Volt alternating current.
However, the socket outlet must have an earthing
contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Addi-
tionally, a residual current device (RCD) circuit-
breaker with max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not dama-
ged. The total length of the power cable should
not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance
will reduce the power output of the electric motor.
The power cable must have a cross-section of 3
x 1.5 mm. The insulating sheath of lawn aerator
power cables is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
•
Cuts caused by driving over the cable.
•
Pinching when the power cable is dragged
under doors and pulled through windows.
•
Cracking due to old age of the insulation.
•
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable.
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be
of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type
must be printed somewhere on the power cable.
Only purchase power cables that are marked!
Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables
must be made from rubber and splash-proof.
There is a limit to how long power cables can be.
Longer power cables require larger conductor
cross-sections. Power cables and connecting li-
