Opening out the handle (Illustration A1 + E1 + B1 )
IMPORTANT
Make sure the throttle cables are not kinked or jammed when lifting the
handlebars.
Pull on the handlebar which is collapsed in a Z-shape upwards into place in the
following sequence:
– First lift the bottom part of the handlebar (1) A1 , push the ends of this bottom part
as far apart as necessary for the locking cams facing the inside (2) to lock into the
respective bore holes B1 .
Three different handlebar heights can be set.
Note
Make sure the throttle cables are not twisted when moving the bottom part of
the handlebar.
– Push one curved washer (4) and a spacing bush (5) onto the two upper bolts for
attachment, and screw in place using a hexagon nut (6) B1 (out of the tool bag).
– Now lift the top part of the handlebar (7). When the top and bottom parts of the
handlebar are on the same level, firmly tighten the handle nuts (8) by hand E1 .
Note
When lifting the top part of the handlebore make sure that the throttle cables
do not become jammed.
CAUTION
During adjustment of the bar height, the bar may fold over unintentionally during
loosening of the hexagon nut (6) B1 used to fix the base of the bar to the
housing and snapping the locking cams out of the bore holes in the handlebar
connection. In addition, beware of potential crushing spots between the base of
the bar and the bar connection point/housing. This may result in risk of injury!
Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )
– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the nut until the two halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable
holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Push the motor stop safety control bar (3) onto the top part of the bar (4) and hold
it tight, pull the starter cable (5) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves (6) together, tighten the nut again. This prevents the starter
cable popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable
is freely accessible and does not rub against any other parts.
Attaching the grass collector to the mower (Illustration R1 + S1 )
– First insert the grass bag frame with the clip forward into the grass bag. Align the
upper seams of the bag with the clip.
– Press the retaining profiles of the collecting sack onto the bars of the collecting
sack frame R1 .
– Open the ejection flap of the mower upwards.
– Pick up the collecting sack by the carrying strap, place the chute (1) R1 at the
collecting sack opening into the ejection flap and hang it in the mower casing with
its two side hooks upwards S1 .
– Attach ejection flap to collector.
Adjusting the cutting height (Illustration I )
You can set the desired cutting height with the adjustment lever (1) on the left 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 observe that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for
optimal conditions. If you select cutting height that is too low, the turf can be
damaged and under certain circumstances it can even be destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, also the moving speed influences the cutting pattern
and collection result. Adapt the cutting height and moving speed to the grass
height to be cut.
9 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the
screws if necessary! Attachment of the cutter bar must be checked in particular (refer
here to the chapter "Cutter bar care").
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.
The lawn mower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, 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.
