8 PREPARATION

The following unit parts are included in the package for mower assembly:
• Mower with preassembled guide bar and support bar
• Deflector
• Tool bag with the following content:
– Operating instructions with Declaration of Conformity
– Guarantee conditions (model-dependent)
– Spark plug spanner
– Diverse fastening parts
Should a part be missing, please contact your professional dealership.
NOTE
Always remove the spark plug connector before fitting the bar and the starter
cable holder. Following assembly, at the latest before starting the engine, push
the spark plug connector back in place.

Opening out the handle (Illustration A1 + E1 + B1 )

– The guide bar is folded into a Z-shape. Pull upwards and extend A1 .
IMPORTANT
When raising the guide bar, make sure that the throttle cables are not
trapped or jammed.
– When the top and bottom sections of the guide bar are aligned, firmly tighten the
knurled nuts (1) by hand E1 .
– Tighten the nuts (2) on both sides of the lower section of the guide bar B1 .
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the handlebars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along
the outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical
defect of the equipment.

Support bar assembly (Illustration W2 + D1 )

– Insert the two screws (1) through the bottom part of the bar from the outside and
set one washer each (2) in place (from the tool bag).
– On the inside of the bottom part of the bar, set the support bar (3) in one of the
three positions for the different bar angles:
• top catch = steep handlebar setting (for taller people)
• bottom catch = flat handlebar setting (for smaller people)
– Than set a washer (2) in place on both sides and screw together with a nut (4).
– Tighten the two nuts (5) for fastening the support bar to the housing hand-tight.
IMPORTANT
When adjusting the bar height using the support bar, the nuts (2) B1 used to the
secure the lower section of the bar do not need to be undone.
Only undo the nuts (4) W2 far enough to ensure that the bar can be moved freely
during this work.
This stops unintentional folding of the bar and prevents the risk crushing
between the lower bar section and the housing.

Attaching the motor brake Bowden cable to the engine (Illustration H1 )

– Insert the elbow on the end throttle cable (1) from above, into and up to the bend
of the switching lever of the brake (2).
– Pull the moving part of the throttle cable (3) to the rear until the wire cable (4) can
be inserted laterally into the cut-out (5).
– Then slide the throttle cable (3) forwards until the snap-hook (6) engages in the
cut-out (5) of the throttle cable mount.
NOTE
After attachment of the engine-brake throttle cable, the braking function of the
safety control bar must be checked. As soon as the control bar is released, the
cutter bar must come to a standstill within three seconds. If this is not the case,
please consult your nearest authorised workshop.

Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )

– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the nut until the two halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable
holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Push the motor stop safety control bar (3) onto the top part of the bar (4) and hold
it tight, pull the starter cable (5) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves (6) together, tighten the nut again. This prevents the starter
cable popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable
is freely accessible and does not rub against any other parts.

Attaching the deflector (Illustration T1 )

IMPORTANT
Using the device without the ejection flap can lead to injury from objects being
thrown upwards. Only operate the device with the ejection flap.
– Open the deflector attachment plate.
– Screw the deflector in the mower housing using the pre-fitted screws in the plate.
CAUTION
The deflector is under tension, be careful when opening it as otherwise fingers
can become crushed.

Adjusting the cutting height (Illustration I )

– Pull the lever (1) at each wheel towards the wheel and latch again after a lateral
move into the desired position.
– All four levers must be in the same position!
CAUTION
When setting the cutting height, hold the setting lever as depicted in the
illustration I . In this way, the hand is prevented from sliding off and getting
injured when setting.

9 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the
screws if necessary! Attachment of the cutter bar must be checked in particular (refer
here to the chapter "Cutter bar care").
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.
The lawn mower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the motor stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter
bar must come to a standstill within three seconds.
After release, the 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 engine 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 engine has
been stopped, 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.
