packaging and check that all parts are present
(Fig. 2-3).
2. Fasten the lower push bar to the mounts on the
mower housing (Fig. 4-5).
3. Now screw the upper push bar to the lower push
bar (Fig. 6-8). Pull the cords over the star nut so
that they do not get kinked when the push bar is
swung down (Fig. 7) and make sure that the
starter cord guide (Fig. 8/Item 20) on the right
faces inwards.
4. Then hook the starter cord in the starter cord
guide (Fig. 9)
5. Fasten the cord holder to the lower push bar
(Fig. 10).
6. Secure the cords to the upper push bar with the
supplied cable tie (Fig. 11)
7. Hook the grass basket into the mounts on the
mower (Fig. 15).

5.2 Setting the cutting height

Important! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
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
as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this
check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
The cutting height is not adjusted at a single
central point – instead, each of the 4 wheels
have to be adjusted separately. Three different
cutting heights are available. (As-delivered state:
Medium cutting height)
Caution: All 4 wheels have to be set to the same
cutting height.
1. Lever out the wheel cap from the wheel by
applying a screwdriver in the opening provided
(Fig. 20)
2. Open the wheel bolt (Fig. 21).
Important: The wheel bolts have a right-handed
thread on the right-hand side and a left-handed
thread on the left-hand side.
Important: There is a metal washer between the
wheel and the mower housing. Make sure that
you fit this washer back in place between the
wheel and the housing during reassembly.
We recommend that you first change both
wheels on one side followed by both wheels on
the other side.
3. Remove the wheel and screw it back on tightly in
the desired position (Fig. 22)
Position 1: Low cutting height

Position 2: Medium cutting height
(As-delivered state (sufficient for normal use)).
Position 3: High cutting height
4. Fit the wheel cap back on again and follow the
same procedures to adjust the other 3 wheels to
the same height and position.

6. Operation

Important!
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, ensure that you add 0.6 liters of oil
before starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil
(10W40). The oil level in the engine must be
checked each time before mowing. (see
Checking the oil level).
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 12/Item A) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
Before you start the lawn mower, open the petrol
cock (Fig. 13, arrow = petrol cock open). Move the
speed lever (Fig. 14) to position "N". Press the
engine brake lever (Fig. 12/Pos. A) together and
give the starter cord a vigorous pull. You can
control the rotation speed of the blade using the
speed lever (Fig. 14).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjust-
ment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out any
adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 12/Item A): Use the lever to
stop the engine. When you release the lever the
engine and the blade stop automatically (Fig.
12/Pos. A). To mow, hold the lever in the working
position. Before you start to mow, check the
start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is
working properly. Ensure that the tension cable
can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or
kinking in any way).
2. Speed lever (Fig. 14): Move this lever in order to
increase or decrease the engine speed. (Tortoise
