Safety instructions for power lawnmower with horizontally rotating blades

1. Keep hand and feet clear of the rotating blades and never
put your hand or foot into any ejector opening without fi rst
making sure that the blade is not moving and the ignition
cable is disconected from the spark plug.
2. Do not touch the blade until the ignition cable has been
disconected from the spark plug. Rotating the blades may
cause the engine to start.
3. Do not leave the machine unattended without stopping
the engine.
4. The engine speed regulator must not be disabled. The
pre-adjusted number of revolutions may not be changed.

5. Do not top up with fuel when the engine is warm. Don´t
smoke while fi lling up with fuel or in the near of the tank.
WARNING! Petrol is very fl ammable! Store the fuel in
containers intended for petrol. Don´t remove the fuel fi ller
or fi ll up with fuel while the engine is running.
6. Never allow children or other persons whom are not
familiar with the machine to operate the lawnmower. Even
if the machine has very effective protections it could throw
out solid objects that can cause injurys.

HANDLE POSITION
When required, the handle can be rotated laterally to some
extent by means of the handle joint, e.g., when mowing close
to hedges or house walls. The handle can be set to different
positions for the best operating position. The handle can be
altered in height at the chassis mount by turning the nylon
knobs (fi g. 1).
SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (fi g. 2)
Move the lever forwards for taller grass. The lever positions
correspond to 3-6 mm grass height. All the weels are set
simultaneously in one operation. Make use of the effi cient

Before starting the engine

WNMOWERS
7. Keep the lawn as clear as possible of stones or other
objects that the lawnmower can strike. Avoid driving over
gravel paths etc.
8. Famillarize lawnmower operators with the risks and ex-
plain how accident are to be avoided.
9. The machine may not be used for any other purpose than
cutting grass.
10. Wear pants and suitable shoes while cutting grass. Bea-
ware that a lawn could be slippery!
11. Comet SE: Don' leave the machine with the ignition key!
12. Never touch anything under the cutting deck, as for
instance dismount or mount the mulching insert, without
disconnecting the spark plug cable fi rst.
13. Do not use the lawnmower if any protection or safety
device is damaged. Inspect the machine before every use.
Control regularly that all screws and nuts are fastened,
especially blade and engine.
height setting of the KLIPPO lawn-mowers when mowing
edges or trimming.
Never cut grass unnecessarily short. This makes spreading/
collection more diffi cult and increases the risk of "scalping".
Mulching insert
This insert is mounted on the Excellent-models and is dis-
mounted on the Pro 19-models by delivery. This is moun-
ted/dismounted by the two screws on the rear/upper part of
the cutting deck (fi g. 16). Beware that the spark plug cable is
disconnected before dismounting/mounting!
RUNNING-IN and FIRST OIL CHANGE
The engine has already been adjusted and required no run-
ning-in as such, although you should run it at no more than
moderate load for the fi rst few hours. Remember to change
the oil the fi rst time after fi ve hours of operation, and then
every twenty-fi ve hours.
PETROL
Use leadfree 95 octane petrol. Stop the engine before fi lling.
Do not overfi ll the tank so much that it overfl ows. Leave
around 6 mm for the fuel to expand.
Don´t let the machine stay over the winter with petrol in the
tank. This could cause starting problems in spring.
