6. Before starting the equipment

6.1 Assembling the components

Some parts of the mower come disassembled. For
quick and easy assembly, read and follow the
instructions below.
Important. You will need the following additional
tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for
maintenance work:
A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
n
A 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
n
A petrol can
n
A funnel (suitable for the tank's petrol filler neck)
n
Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue;
n
dispose of these at a filling station)
A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from DIY
n
stores)
An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY
n
stores)
Engine oil
n
Assembly
1. Assemble the push bar (Item 3) as shown in Fig.
3a, 3b and 3c. For fastening choose one of the
holes to suit the required height of the push bar.
Important. The identical height must be set on
both sides. Ensure that the cords which are
fastened later are not in the way.
2. Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/Item 9)
into the hook provided for that purpose as shown
in Figure 3c.
3. Fasten the cords to the push bar with the supplied
cable clip (Fig. 3d/Item 10).
4. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 5a) with one
hand and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 4) as
shown in Figure 4.

6.2 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
n
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 centrally adjusted with the
n
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 6-7/Item 8). Different cutting heights can be
selected.
Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
n
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
22
position.
7. Using the petrol lawn mower
Important.
The engine is supplied without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol before
starting the engine.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine brake
(Fig. 5a/Item 1) which must be pulled back before the
engine can be started. When the engine start/stop
lever is released it must return to its initial position, at
which point the engine automatically switches off.
Before you start mowing, you should run through this
process several times in order to ensure that the
machine is working properly. Whenever you need to
perform any kind of adjustment 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. 5a/Item 1): Use the engine
start/stop lever to switch off the engine. When you
release the engine start/stop lever, the engine
and blade will automatically stop. To mow, hold
the lever in the working position (Fig. 5b). 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
2. Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine, move the
engine brake several times to be sure that the
stop cable is properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is
optimal for cutting and blowing grass into the
basket and is designed to provide many years of
use.
3. Check the oil level.
4. Use a funnel and measuring vessel to fill the tank
with petrol. Make sure that the petrol is clean.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol can.
Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the engine
before refueling and allow the engine to cool down for
a few minutes.
5. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
6. Press the fuel pump "primer" (Fig. 1/Item 2) 6
times.
7. Stand behind the mower. Place one hand on the
