10 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check all screw connections for a tight fit. Tighten the screws if necessary. Attachment
of the cutter bar must be checked in particular (see chapter "Cutter bar
maintenance").
The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If
the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade fastening and cutter bar can become
damaged or loose which can lead to serious injuries.
The lawn mower is equipped with a blade stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the blade stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the safety control bar is released, the cutter bar
must come to a standstill within three seconds.
After release, the safety control 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 motor 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 motor has
been switched off, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled!
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.

difficult). When the starting the motor, the machine must not be tilted on end, if
necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is
pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As
long as the device does not have all 4 wheels on the ground, both your hands must be
on the top part of the rail.
