STARTING THE ENGINE (Illustration A + D3 )
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip out of your hand. Risk of injury!
Model with engine brake
Only start the engine when standing behind of the mower.
Place the mower on a level surface where the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start of the cutter bar and makes
starting more difficult). Where this is not possible, position the mower in such a way that the cutter is facing diagonally away
from the user, although only as far as absolutely necessary.
IMPORTANT
The motor only operates when the safety control bracket is pressed against the upper part of the handlebar. As
soon as the safety control bracket is released, this returns to its original position under spring force, the motor
brake is actuated, and the motor and blade come to stop within three seconds.
–
Open the ventilation valve (1) in the fuel filler cap A .
–
Open the fuel cock A .
When the engine is cold, push the actuation lever (2) into the position "I/I" (Choke) (3) D3 .
–
–
Push and hold the safety control bar (5) of the top tube (6).
–
Slowly pull the starter cable (7) until resistance is felt; then rapidly pull it out – the engine begins to run, slowly recoil the
cable.
–
Under certain circumstances the starting process must be repeated.
–
As soon as the engine has started running, put the actuation lever (2) in the position "Hot start/Operation" (4).
–
Once the engine is hot, push the actuation lever in position "Hot start/Operation" (4) and as described above, then start
the engine.
–
If the engine does not start running, then proceed as when starting a cold engine.
–
In the position "Hot start/Operation" the engine runs with its maximum power at maximum speed which is required for a
clean cutting pattern (engine speed = blade speed).
Model with blade brake
Only start the engine when standing behind of the mower.
–
Open the ventilation valve (1) in the tank cover A .
Open petrol tap A .
–
If the engine is cold push the operating lever (2) to position "I/I" (Choke) (3) D3 .
–
–
Slowly pull the starter cable (5) until resistance is felt; then rapidly pull it out – the engine begins to run, then slowly
recoil the cable.
–
It may be necessary to repeat the starting process.
–
As soon as the engine has started, set the operating lever (2) to "Warm Start/Operate" position (Warmstart/Betrieb) (4)
position.
–
If a warm engine is started, push the operating lever (2) to "Warm Start/Operate" position (Warmstart/Betrieb)" (4) and
start engine as described above.
–
Should the engine fail to start, proceed as for a cold engine.
–
In the "Warm Start/Operate" position (Warmstart/Betrieb) the engine functions at the maximum speed required for a
clean cut (engine speed = blade speed).
