2. Unfold the second section of the handlebar, and attach it to the
first section using a yellow handle + knob assembly on each side.
3. Remove the Velcro strip that fixes the position of the brake bar
and the drawbar to the handlebar.
4. For models with electric starter and coasters on the handlebar
side, follow these steps:
- Unscrew the cable routing piece from the handlebar to give
more freedom to the ropes.
- Unscrew the cable routing piece from the handlebar.
- Place the plastic trim on the upper part and screw it from the
lower part of the handlebar, using the 4 screws that came as loo-
se elements in the box.
- Pass the brake bar line from the lower part to the upper part
through the slot in the trim and hook it back onto the brake bar.
- Refasten the cable guide piece.
5. In case you want to perform a mulching type side discharge, lift the side access cover to the propeller compartment,
and install the side outlet deflector (fig1). If you want to collect grass in a bag, do not install the side deflector and mount
the bag at the rear of the mower. To do this you must first lift the door that covers the access to the propeller at the rear
of the mower.
Operation
- The brake bar must be pressed all the way to the handlebars to
start the engine. When the brake bar is released the engine will
stop.
- The traction control bar activates the mower's self-propulsion.
Press the traction control bar to start the mower and release it to
stop the mower. To stop the self-propel, release the bar slightly un-
til the disengaging gear disengages.

Adjust the cutting height
Raise the wheels for a low cut and lower the wheels for a deep cut. Adjust the height to suit your needs. The middle
position is generally the best for most cases. To adjust the cutting height move the height lever, using the handle next
to the right rear wheel.
Oil before starting the engine
Before and after use, the oil level should be checked and if necessary topped up with 500ml of SAE 10W30 engine oil.
Change the oil every 50 hours.
CAUTION: DO NOT OIL with engine oil or a lot of smoke will come out of the exhaust or during startup. To check
the level:
1. Make sure the lawn mower is on a level surface.
