when the engine drive control bar is released, the machine must come to a
standstill immediately.
If this is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.
13 MOVEMENT DRIVE
Operating the rear wheel drive (only with selective engine drive)
(Illustration G )
The rear wheel drive is switched on and off by means of the drive control handle (1) on
the top guide bar (2) when the motor is running:
–
Pull and hold the drive control handle = mower moves
–
Release the drive control handle = mower stops (0-position).
The drive control handle must always be pulled firmly up against the top bar. Improper
activation will cause wear on the gearbox. The increased resistance of the bar in the
starting position is deliberate to make accidental operation more difficult.
NOTE
The rear wheels click when the mower is pushed forwards.
Speed adjustment (only for VARIO drive) (Illustration H )
IMPORTANT
The speed may only be adjusted when the engine is running in order to avoid
damage!
The driving speed is set using the rotary knob mounted on the left.
–
The knob can be turned in both directions for speed adjustment, so that the
required driving speed can be set. The arrow on the knob indicates the driving
speed.
–
Position "Hare" = fast (max. speed)
–
Position "Tortoise" = slow (min. speed)
NOTE
Mowing at high speed leads to poor cutting pattern or collection result. Always
adapt the speed to the prevailing conditions. For longer grass sections, a slower
driving speed should be selected.
14 GRASS COLLECTOR
Operation with grass collector
WARNING
When operating the equipment with a collecting bag, the bag must be completely
assembled and in technically perfect condition.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the chute (1) R1 is not bent when handling the collector.
While mowing, ensure that the collector is emptied in good time. The turbo signal on the
collector will indicate when the collector should be emptied.
Turbo signal (shows when the grass collector is full)
(Illustration J + K )
There is an indicator on the top of the collector that shows whether the collector is
empty or full:
–
The collector indicator inflates if the collector is empty and during the mowing J .
–
If the collector is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop mowing
immediately and empty the collector K .
IMPORTANT
If the fabric of the grass collector is very dirty the turbo indicator will not inflate –
in this case, clean the fabric immediately. The grass collector will only collect
grass perfectly if it is permeable to air.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!
Emptying the grass collector (Illustration L )
–
Switch off engine.
–
Lift ejection flap.
–
Unhinge the full grass collector from the mower at the carrying strap – the ejection
flap closes automatically.
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
–
Empty the collector thoroughly whilst holding it by the carrying strap and the
moulded handle on the bottom.
Operation without grass collector
WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower housing
must always be closed (flap down).
15 MOWING
Mowing on slopes
NOTE
The mower can be used on banks and slopes with a gradient of up to 46% (25°
angle). Any steeper slopes can lead to engine damage.
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not exploit this
theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance.
Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in
excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost!
Checking the oil level
Check oil level each time prior to mowing Y1 . Never let the engine to run with too little
or too much oil. Irreparable damages could occur.
Checking operating safety
The lawnmower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before every mowing job, make sure that the motor stop safety control bar is working
perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter bar must come to a
standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the engine has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can be heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise after the engine has
been stopped, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
The perfect function of the motor drive control bar must be checked before every
mowing job too. When the motor drive control bar is released, the machine must come
to a standstill immediately. If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an
authorised workshop.
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
To avoid risk, check the condition and firm attachment of the blade before every
mowing job. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised
workshop. If the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar
can become damaged or loose which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged
blade must always be replaced. (Refer here to the chapter "Cutter blade care").
In addition, check the fan, blade coupling and fan housing every 10 operating hours for
wear and a tight fit. Also check equipment screws and nuts for a firm fit and tighten if
necessary.
Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Danger: Electric shock. Never
remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Danger: Electric shock!
Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has cooled down. Danger of
burns!
If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an
authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed.
Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please
have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Time restrictions
In Germany, the set hours for operating lawnmowers are regulated in the "32nd
Ordinance implementing the Federal Emissions Protection Act (32nd BImSch-V)".
