Raise the handlebar (Illustration A1 + B1 + V4 )

IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the handlebars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along
the outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical
defect of the equipment.
CAUTION
When you activate the bar height adjustment, when loosening the wing nuts
B1 used to secure the bar bottom to the housing (only loosen sufficiently to
ensure that the bar can be moved freely) and snapping the locking cams out of
the drilled holes in the housing, it is possible that unintentional upsetting of the
bar may occur. In addition, this may result in crushed areas between the bar
bottom and the housing. This may result in a risk of injury!
Pull the handlebar which is collapsed in a Z-shape upwards into place in the following
sequence:
– First lift the bottom part of the handlebar A1 , push the ends of this bottom part as
far apart as necessary for the locking cams facing the inside to lock into the
respective bore holes B1 .
Three different handlebar heights can be set.
– Tighten the wing nuts on both sides by hand B1 .
– Lift the top part of the handlebar until the top part and the bottom part of the
handlebar are on the same level.
– The quick releases V4 for attachment of the top part and the bottom part of the
handlebar are preset by the manufacturer.
1. Pull the quick releases upwards to the handlebar.
2. Tighten the screws hand-tight.
3. Open the quick releases.
4. Tighten the screws by a quarter to a half of a turn.
5. Pull the quick releases up again and check whether the bars are tightly
connected, correct again if necessary.
– Keep this setting. If the tension slacks over time, the screws have to be tightened
again.

Attaching the grass collector to the mower (Illustration R1 + S1 )

– Insert the collection bag frame with the bar first into the grass catch. Align the
upper seams of the grass catch on the bar.
– Press the holding profile onto the frame of the collection bag frame R1 .
– Open the ejection flap of the mower upwards.
– Lift the grass collection bag on the carrier bar, insert the chute (1) R1 on the
collection bag opening into the ejection flap and hang the grass collection bag with
the two side hooks to the top of the mower housing S1 .
– Fold the ejection flap onto the grass collection bag.

Adjusting the cutting height (Illustration I )

The cutting height you desire is adjusted with the one-handed adjustment lever on the
left hand side of the mower.
– Pull the lever out of the catch and latch again after a lateral move into the desired
position.
– The marking on the left of the housing indicates the cutting height
IMPORTANT
Mowing at the lowest cutting height should only be carried out on level and plane
lawns!
Please note that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for optimum
conditions. If you select cutting height that is too low, the turf may be damaged
and under certain circumstances even destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, the driving speed also influences the cutting pattern
and collection result. Adapt the cutting height and driving speed to the grass
height to be cut, the motor drive may not need to be switched on.

Inserting the charged battery (figure K2 + V1 + G2 + H )

The handling of the charger and battery is described in
the separate operating instructions for the charger.
In particular, read and note the safety information!
Fully charge the battery before initial use!
– Open and hold the battery cover.
– Remove safety key K2 .
– Push battery into the battery compartment until the lock catches V1 .
Ensure that the lock on the battery can move freely and is cleanly locked in.
2 batteries or only 1 battery can be used. If only 1 battery is used, this can be
inserted either into compartment I or compartment II.
– Insert the safety key if the machine is to be used straight away G2 .
– Close battery cover. Ensure that the cover closes automatically. Dirt and grass
deposits can hinder this and therefore must be removed.
– After switching on the standby mode, the display 6) H shows the charge level of
the battery, from which the machine is currently drawing power. If 2 batteries are
used, the power is drawn from battery I first and then from battery II. Therefore, the
charge status for battery I or for battery II is on. Switching from battery I to
battery II is performed automatically.

Remove the battery (Figure F + K2 + N2 )

– Switch off the motor F .
– Open and hold the battery cover.
– Remove safety key K2 .
– Hold down the unlock button on the front of the battery and remove the battery
from the compartment N2 .
– Close battery cover. Ensure that the cover closes automatically. Dirt and grass
deposits can hinder this and therefore must be removed.
