when you store the lawn mower until the next mowing. However, you should do
this at least before you store the mower for the winter break.
–
Store the battery in a dry, cool and frost-protected room.
NOTE
The battery can be charged in the assembled or disassembled state.
Charger (Illustration R4 )
The charger is made up of two parts and must be put together before initial use.
Insert the country-specific plug (1) into the charger (2) and push it forwards until it clicks
into place.
IMPORTANT
Use the charger supplied only for charging the respective mower battery.
Equally, do not try to charge your mower using a different charger. You could
endanger yourself or damage your equipment.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the charger, it may only be used
indoors and in dry rooms and the battery must not be charged in direct sunlight.
Chafed or bent connection cables on the plug-charger can lead to an excessive
cable load. Chargers with damaged cables must be replaced.
Charging in assembled state (Illustration X1 )
–
Remove the battery cable from the cable harness.
–
Connect the battery cable to the original charging device and plug the charging
device into a 230 V socket.
Charging the battery in disassembled state (Illustration W1 )
Removing the battery
–
To remove the battery, detach the cable from the wiring harness, remove the wing
nuts.
–
Turn the battery with the battery lid by 90° to the front and remove upwards.
–
Connect the battery cable to the original charger and plug the charger into a socket
with 230 V.
IMPORTANT
Please do not connect the charger to the plug connector of the cable harness
since this can lead to a fault in the charger.
NOTE
The red warning light on the charger lights up during the charging process and
goes out after charging has finished.
–
After charging the battery, refasten to the battery holder (if the battery was
dismounted for charging). Reconnect the battery cable to the cable harness prior
to mowing.
NOTE
As soon as the battery must be renewed for reasons of age or mechanical
damage, it should be handed in as hazardous waste to public collection points of
your community or your authorized dealer for proper disposal.
Filling with oil (Illustration Y1 )
IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Engine is delivered without oil. You must add oil before running
the engine.
Before starting the engine for the first time, use a funnel to fill motor oil (quantity and
quality see technical data) having unscrewed the dipstick in this opening first.
–
Set the mower on level ground.
–
Slowly fill oil through the filler neck. Do not overfill. After filling the oil, wait for about
one minute and then check the oil level.
Insert the dipstick and screw it tight.
–
Check oil level
Remove the dipstick. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the dipstick, then insert it again
and screw tightly. Then pull the dipstick out again and read off the oil level. The oil
must be at the full mark at the top (arrow). Replenish oil if necessary. The oil level
must not be higher than the full mark, however.
Insert the dipstick again and tighten.
–
After initial filling, remove the "NO OIL" sign from the top of the engine.
Filling with fuel
–
Only fill the tank with fresh and clean unleaded standard petrol.
Fuel with up to 10% ethanol is acceptable.

–
Unscrew tank cap.
–
Fill tank with fuel using a funnel up to max. lower edge of filling nozzle.
–
Replace tank cap and screw tight.
10 STARTING THE ENGINE
Only start the engine when you are standing behind the mower.
Always place the mower on a level area which is not covered with high grass (if the
grass is too high it will block the cutter bar start-up and make starting the mower more
difficult). When the engine is started, 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 mower has not been lowered to the ground again, both your hands must be
on the top part of the bar.
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip
out of your hand. Risk of injury!
IMPORTANT
The motor only operates when the safety control bracket is pressed against the
upper part of the handlebar. As soon as the safety control bracket is released,
this returns to its original position under spring force, the motor brake is
actuated, and the motor and blade come to stop within three seconds.
Manual start without electro-start (Illustration D + E )
–
Push and hold the safety control bar (1) on the top tube (2) D .
–
Slowly pull the starter cable (3) until resistance is felt, then rapidly pull it out E –
the engine begins to run, slowly recoil the cable.
NOTE
This engine has a ReadyStart
system: This system has a temperature-controlled
®
automatic choke. The engine runs with optimum power at maximum speed, which is
required for a clean cutting pattern (engine speed = blade speed).
Electro-start models (Illustration D + P4 + E )
–
Push and hold the safety control bar (1) on the top tube (2) D .
–
Turn the ignition key (4) clockwise up to the limit stop, for so long until the engine
starts running P4 .
NOTE
To ensure a long service life of the battery and starter, the starting process should
never be longer than 5 seconds.
NOTE
This engine has a ReadyStart
system: This system has a temperature-controlled
®
automatic choke. The engine runs with optimum power at maximum speed, which is
required for a clean cutting pattern (engine speed = blade speed).
NOTE
Should the electric starter be defective at some point, then the engine can also be
started manually.
–
Push and hold the safety control bar (1) on the top tube (2) D .
–
Slowly pull the starter cable (3) until resistance is felt; then rapidly pull it out E –
the engine begins to run, slowly recoil the cable.
11 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE (ILLUSTRATION F + P4 )
–
Release the safety control bar (1) F .
–
Remove the ignition key (4) (only for electro-start) P4 .
12 EMERGENCY STOPPING
Release the safety control lever and the drive switch bar.
–
The mower will stop.
–
The blade will stop.
–
The engine will stop
NOTE
Before every mowing job, make sure that the safety control bar for the engine
brake and the engine drive control bar are working perfectly:
–
when the safety control bar is released, the engine and cutter bar must come
to a standstill within three seconds.
