• In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 1/ Item 3) 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.
• Press the engine brake lever (3) together and give
the starter cord (17) a vigorous pull. (Fig. 14)
• Attention: When you pull the starting rope the cut-
ting blade rotates even when dissolved motor brake
lever. Make sure that there are no body parts in
danger zone of cutting blade.
• When the engine is running, press the drive lever
(2) to the handle (1) in order to engage drive on the
mower.
• Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
m WARNING
Whenever you need to perform any kind of ad-
justment 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.
Using the drive:
• Engine brake (3): Use the lever to stop the engine.
When you release the lever the engine and the
blade stop automatically.
• To mow, hold the drive lever (2) in the working po-
sition. Before you start to mow, check the start/
stop lever several times to be sure that it is work-
ing properly. Ensure that the tension cable can be
smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in
any way).
• Drive lever (2):
If you press this the clutch for the drive will be closed
and the lawnmower will start to move with the motor
running. Release the drive lever in good time to stop
the moving lawnmower. Practice starting and stop-
ping before you use the mower for the first time until
you are familiar with controlling the mower.
Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the
engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine, move the
motor brake several times to be sure that the stop
cable is properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is op-
timal for cutting and blowing grass into the basket and
is designed to provide many years of use.

• Open the fuel tank cap and fill the petrol tank (6)
up to the lower point of the tank inlet with about 1.2
litres of petrol. Use a funnel and a measuring con-
tainer for filling. Do not overfill the tank.
• Use fresh, clean unleaded fuel.
Never mix oil with petrol. Buy fuel in amounts which
can be used within 30 days in order to guarantee
its freshness.
Note: Use only unleaded gasoline.
m WARNING
Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke when
fuelling. Remove any oil or petrol residues. Switch off
the engine before refuelling and allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes.
Start engine (Fig. 14)
• Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
• Stand behind the mower. One hand squeezes the
engine brake lever (3) to the handle, the other pulls
the pull start.
• Start the engine using the reversing starter (17). To
do this pull the handle approx. 10 – 15 cm (until you
feel a resistance) and then start the engine with a
sharp pull. If the engine does not start, pull the han-
dle again.
• Due to protective coating on the engine, a small
amount of smoke may be present during the initial
use of the product and should be considered normal.
m CAUTION!
• Never allow the starter cord to snap back.
• Note: In cold weather, it may be necessary to re-
peat the starting process several times.
Turn off the engine:
• To turn off the engine, release the drive lever (2),
then the engine brake lever (3) and wait for the
blades to stop.
• Pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug (10)
boot in order to prevent the engine from restarting.
• Before you start the engine again, check the
cord for the engine brake. Check that the cord is
correctly fitted. If the cord is kinked or damaged, it
should be replaced.
Before mowing
Important information
• Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
• Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or damaged
in any other way must be immediately exchanged
for a genuine replacement blade.
• Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in
the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring jug.
Wipe off any spilled petrol.
