IMPORTANT
Never use a pressure cleaner or ordinary water jet to clean the drive section, motor parts (like ignition system, carburettor
etc.), and bearings. Damages or expensive repairs can be the consequence of such action.
Storage
Always keep the machine in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of children. Always allow the engine to cool
down before you store the machine in a closed room.
Collapsing the handle (Illustration B4 + D4 )
–
For the space-saving storage or for transport, push the upper cable on the lower part of the guide bar downwards first.
Then either loosen the two upper wing nuts and fold the upper section carefully forwards B4 or loosen all the four wing
nuts far enough to allow the guide bar to collapse without resistance in a Z-shape over the engine D4 .
The toothed fitments on the lower end of the bar must snap out of the recess on the housing.
–
Do not kink nor squeeze the throttle cables in the process.
CAUTION
When the bar is moved for transport and storage purposes, it may fold over unintentionally during loosening of the
wing nuts and release of the toothed fitments from the recesses on the housing. In addition, squashing spots can
occur between the base and top of the bar and the housing. This may result in risk of injury!
Transporting and securing the equipment (Illustration N )
–
If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the carrying handle at the front and at the rear N .
–
Transport the equipment in an upright position. Collapse the guide bar to positions B4 or D4 if necessary.
–
Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll away before it is secured.
–
Remove the collecting bag and secure it separately during transport
–
Secure the equipment with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps with clamping elements) on or inside
the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is designated. The label
contains important details for application
–
For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four belts. Secure the equipment on the
wheels so that it does not move during transportation.
NOTE
GB
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause damage.
Maintenance of the blade
A sharp blade guarantees optimum cutting performance. Before you start mowing, always check the condition and firm
attachment of the cutting blade. 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.
Sharpening and balancing the blade (Illustration Q )
WARNING
The sharpening and balancing of the blade should be carried out only by an authorized specialist workshop. An
improperly sharpened or unbalanced blade can cause severe vibrations, and damage the lawnmower.
The cutting edges of the blade must only be ground down to the mark (1) (see illustration Q ) on the blade (ring). Warning!
Keep to a grinding angle of 30°.
Your professional workshop can check this value - (grinding limit) for you!
WARNING
A blade by which the wear limit (marking) has been exceeded can break off and spin away; this can cause severe
injuries.
Replacing the blade
WARNING
The cutting blade bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop. A wrongly assembled cutting blade
coupling or a blade screw that is tightened too tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bar to become loose
and cause severe injuries.
–
Only use original blades for replacement purposes.
–
Blades must be indelibly marked with name and/or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier and with the parts number.
