CAUTION: In cold weather or when the machine has not
been used for a longer time it may be necessary to repeat
the first steps for several times.
ENGINE STOPPING
• If you want to stop the engine release the operation lever
(automatic switching off lever) (8).
WARNING! The knife still rotates for a few seconds after
the engine is switched off. If you want to leave the mower
laying unattended then disconnect the spark plug cap.
Important tips and advice for grass cutting!!!
•
Under certain conditions, e.g. when the grass is very high, it
may be necessary to adjust bigger cutting height so that effort
at pushing the mower was reduced, engine overloading
removed and blocking of grass in the mower prevented. It is
possible you will also have to reduce the mower travel speed
and/or cut the area again.
If cutting is very difficult it may be suitable to reduce the travel
•
speed and mower gear.
Vent ports in the grass catcher may get blocked if the catcher
•
is not cleaned regularly. Clean the grass catcher regularly with
water and let it dry before use.
•
Keep the upper part of the engine in the
starter place clean. Air flow will be improved
and engine life increased by doing so.
•
Cut in dry weather only.
•
Always keep the knives sharp.

the device is in an operation-reliable condition. Regular
maintenance is necessary for safety and trouble-free
operation.
2)
Never store the device with fuel in closed rooms as the
evaporating fuel may ignite.

It is necessary to let the device cool down and empty fuel
from it before storing in closed rooms.
4)
In order to minimise the risk of fire keep the engine
and muffler and the fuel tank clean and with no grass,
leaves and fats. Do not store the grass cut with the

ČLEANING
Clean the device with water, remove the grass and mud from
inside before each use – it will prevent from impurities getting dry
and problems at next starting.
The painting inside the housing may wear down in the course
of time. In order to prevent later corrosion of the device use
anti-corrosive paint for the worn-down spots.
Remove the gearbox cover and clean the space around belt
pulleys and drive belts with a brush or compressed air once or
twice a year.
You should clean the inside of the drive wheels once per
season. Disassemble both wheels. Clean the cog wheels and
their edges off the grass and other impurities with compressed
air or a brush.
