6. Before starting the equipment
6.1 Assembling the components
Some parts of the mower come disassembled. For
quick and easy assembly, read and follow the
instructions below.
Important. You will need the following additional
tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for
maintenance work:
A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
A 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
A petrol can
A funnel (suitable for the tank's petrol filler neck)
Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue;
dispose of these at a filling station)
A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from DIY
stores)
An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY
stores)
Engine oil
Assembly (Fig 3a)
1. Secure the push bar with one screw (12), one nut
(11), one spring ring (13) and one washer (14).
Ensure that the cords which are fastened later are
not in the way.
2. Unfold the push bar and fix it into place by
tightening the star screws as shown in Figure 3b.
3. Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/Item 9)
into the hook provided for that purpose as shown
in Figure 3c.
4. Fasten the cords to the push bar with the
supplied cable clips (Fig. 3d/Item 10).
5. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 5a) with one
hand and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 4) as
shown in Figure 4.
6.2 Setting the cutting height
Important. Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that
the blade is not blunt and that none of the
fasteners are damaged. To prevent any
imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades
as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this
check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 7/Item 8). Different cutting heights can be
selected.
Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired

position.
7. Using the petrol lawn mower
Important.
The engine is supplied without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol before
starting the engine.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine brake
(Fig. 5a/Item 1a) which must be pulled back before
the engine can be started. When the engine start/stop
lever is released it must return to its initial position, at
which point the engine automatically switches off.
Move the speed lever (Fig. 6) to position
start/stop lever (Fig. 5b) and vigorously pull on the
starter cable. Move the throttle lever into the "Hare"
position.
Before you start mowing, you should run through this
process several times in order to ensure that the
machine is working properly. Whenever you need to
perform any kind of adjustment 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.
Important: When the motor is warm, start it in "Hare"
position.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1a): Use the engine
start/stop lever to switch off the engine. When
you release the engine start/stop lever, the
engine and blade will automatically stop. To mow,
hold the lever in the working position (Fig. 5b).
Before you start to mow, check the start/stop
lever several times to be sure that it is working
properly. Ensure that the tension cable can be
smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking
in any way).
2. Drive lever/clutch lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1b): If you
press this (Fig. 5c) the clutch for the drive will be
closed and the lawnmower will start to move with
the engine running. Release the drive lever in
good time to stop the moving lawnmower.
Practice starting and stopping before you use the
mower for the first time until you are familiar with
controlling the mower.
3. Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine, move the
engine brake several times to be sure that the
stop cable is properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is
