8. Before starting the equipment
Assembling the components
Some parts of the mower come disassembled. For
quick and easy assembly, read and follow the instruc-
tions below.
Important!
You will need the following additional tools (not sup-
plied) for assembly, and also for maintenance work:
• Oil drip pan (for oil change)
• A 1 litre measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
• A petrol can (5 litres is sufficient for approx. 6 op-
erating hours)
• A funnel (suitable for the tankʼs petrol filler neck)
• Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue; dis-
pose of these at a filling station)
• A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from DIY
stores)
• An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY
stores)
• 0,4 litre of engine oil (SAE 30)
Assembly
1. Take the mower and attachment parts out of the
packaging and check that all parts are present.
2. Attach the lower push bar to both sides of the
mower with one screw (a), 1 washer small (c), 1
plastic star grip nut (d) each. Make sure that the
cables, which will be attached later, are not in the
way (Fig. 2-3).
3. Attach the upper push bar on the lower push bar
with one quick-release lever (5), one washer big
(b), one washer small (c) and one plastic star grip
nut (d) each on both sides (Fig. 4-5).
4. Insert the pull start handle (17) in the designated
hook as shown in Fig. 6.
5. Fix the cables to the push bar with the cable clips
(18) provided (Fig. 7).
6. Grass box (16) - open it up and click the plastic
clips into position on the frame (Fig. 8).
7. Mowing with grass box:
Lift the discharge flap (15) with one hand and
hang the grass box (16) as shown in Fig. 9.
8. Mowing with side discharge:
Lift the side discharge flap and mount the side
discharge cover (8) (Fig. 15/15a). If the grass
box is attached, remove it and replace it with the
mulch insert.
9. Mulching:
If the grass box (16) is attached, remove it and
replace it with the mulch insert (19) as shown in
Fig. 10-12.
Attention:
The side discharge cover must not be installed when
mulching.
Setting the cutting height
m CAUTION! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
• Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are
damaged.
• To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or
damaged blades as a set only (if applicable). To
carry out this check, first switch off the engine and
pull the spark plug boot.
• The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the cut-
ting height adjustor lever (Fig.13/ Item 14). 7 differ-
ent cutting heights can be selected.
• Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired po-
sition. (Fig. 13)
Preparing the area to be mowed
Before mowing, carefully examine the area. Remove
stones, sticks, bones, wires, toys and other objects
that may be ejected.
9. Operation
m CAUTION!
The engine does not come with oil in it. There-
fore, ensure that you add 0,4 litres of oil before
starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30).
The oil level in the engine must be checked each
time before mowing.
You will also need to fill in petrol, as this is also
not supplied upon delivery.
m Attention!
Always make sure the product is fully assembled
before commissioning!
