Setting The Cutting Height - Brill Brillencio 41 B Manual Del Usuario

7. Putting Your Lawnmower into Operation
Always carry out a visual inspec-
tion before using your lawnmower
to ensure that cutting tool, retaining
bolts and entire cutting unit are not
worn or damaged. Worn or dam-
aged cutting tools must always be
replaced to ensure that your lawn-
mower is not out of balance (see
Maintenance, Care and Storage).
Only mow your lawn in daylight
or when your lawn is lit by ample
artificial lighting. Avoid using
your lawnmower on wet grass if
possible. Always ensure you have
a sturdy stance when working on
slopes and inclines. Push the lawn-
mower at walking pace. Take
particular care when turning
the lawnmower or pulling it
towards you.
Always stop the cutting tool before
tipping your lawnmower to move it
over a surface other than grass and
when moving your lawnmower to
and from the area of lawn you are
planning to mow.
Never use your lawnmower if the
protection devices or protective
grilles are damaged, or if the
protection devices (e. g. baffle
plates and/or grass catcher)
have been removed.
Do not change the controller
setting of the motor and do not
overturn the controller.
Figure E
Warning! The motor is
A
supplied without oil in the
crankcase. You must therefore fill
the crankcase of the motor up to
the upper marking of the dipstick
with motor oil 10 W 30 before
using your lawnmower for the first
time. The quantity of oil for the
Briggs & Stratton motor is approx.
0.6 litres and approx. 0.55 litres
for the Honda motor.
Check the oil level in the motor
each time before mowing your
lawn. To do this, position the lawn-
mower so that it is horizontal and
remove the dipstick. The oil level on
the dipstick must be between the
Min (ADD) and Max (Full) markings.
We recommend fuelling your lawn-
mower with two-star petrol.
Warning! Petrol is extremely
A
flammable. Only store
petrol in containers intended for this
purpose. Only pour petrol into the
tank when outdoors and do not
smoke while filling the tank.
Fill the tank before starting the
motor. Do not open the fuel cap or
pour in petrol when the motor is
running or when the lawnmower is
hot. If petrol overflows from the
tank, do not attempt to start the
motor. Instead, move the lawn-
mower away from the area where
you spilt the petrol. Do not attempt
to start the motor until the petrol
vapours have evaporated.
If you need to empty the fuel tank,
this must be done outdoors. For
safety reasons, always install a
new fuel cap and other tank caps if
they are damaged.
To prevent injury due to burns keep
the motor/exhaust and the area
around the fuel tank free of grass,
leaves and escaping grease (oil).
Keep your hands and feet away
from the internal housing and grass
ejection chute when the motor is
running.
Always wear sturdy work shoes
and long trousers when mowing.
Never mow your lawn when bare-
foot or when wearing only light-
weight sandals.
7.1. Attaching the Starter Cable
Figure A

7.2. Setting the Cutting Height

You can adjust the cutting height
using the central adjusting bolt
(Figure F, item 4). The cutting height
is infinitely variable. The adjusted
cutting height is shown in 5 mm
intervals on the digital display.
Warning! Only adjust the
A
cutting height when the
motor is switched off. When adjust-
ing the cutting height ensure that
the cutting blades do not touch
the ground when mowing if the
terrain is uneven.
7.3 Starting the Motor with the
Starter Cable
Start or operate the starter
switch with care according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure that your feet are far enough
away from the cutting tool.
Stand your lawnmower on an even
surface.
Check the terrain where you will
be using your lawnmower and
remove all obstacles and objects,
which could get caught and then
ejected.
Briggs & Stratton Motor:
If the motor is cold, press the
.
primer (Figure G, item 7) a few
times before starting the motor.
You do not need to press the prim-
er if the motor is already warm.
Press down the safety handle
.
(Figure A, item 5) towards
the guide handle while simulta-
neously pulling the starter cable.
Honda Motor
If the motor is cold, move the
.
choke lever on the motor to the
"Choke" position. The choke is
not required if the motor is warm
(Figure G, item 8).
Press down the safety handle
.
towards the guide handle while
simultaneously pulling the
starter cable. The choke lever
returns to its starting position
as soon as you move the safety
handle (Figure A, item 5).
If a foreign object blocks the cutting
tool or if the motor is overloaded,
release the safety handle and the
motor will switch off automatically.
Remove the foreign object if neces-
sary.
Warning! Do not tilt the
A
lawnmower when starting
the motor. If you do need to tilt the
lawnmower for some reason while
mowing, only tilt the lawnmower
as far as necessary and always
tilt it with the cutting tool away
