6. Before starting the equipment
The lawn mower is delivered unassembled. The
complete push bar and the grass collector must be
assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow the
operating instructions step-by-step and use the
pictures provided as a visual guide to easily
assemble the machine.
6.1 Fitting the push bar (Fig. 3a to 3d)
Fit a bottom push bar (Fig. 3a / Item 8) into the
opening provided for it (Fig. 3a) and secure it as
shown in Fig. 3b with a screw (Fig. 3b / Item 9).
Proceed in the same way on the other side.
When you fit the top push bar you can decide the
height of the push bar by selecting the appropriate
fastening hole (Fig. 3c). Fasten the top push bar
using either the holes L for a low position or H for a
high position. Screw the top push bar to the bottom
push bar as shown in Fig. 3d.
6.2 Fitting the grass box (Fig. 4a to 4f)
Fit the two halves of the grass box together (Fig. 4a /
Item 12). The two halves are identical. Ensure that all
the plastic lugs engage correctly (Fig. 4b). Next push
the grass box handle (Fig. 4c / Item 13) into the
openings on the grass box. Check that the handle is
secure and correctly positioned as shown in Fig. 4d.
Before you fit the grass bag you must ensure that the
motor is switched off and the blade is not rotating.
The grass box must be attached to the two hooks on
the mower (Fig. 4e / Item A). To do this, open the
ejector flap with one hand (Fig. 4f / Item 5) and attach
the grass box with the other hand as shown in Fig. 4f.
The ejector flap is held against the grass box by a
spring.
6.3 Setting the cutting heights
Important!
Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is
switched off and the power cable has been
disconnected.
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. To carry out this check, first
switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as shown in Figs. 6a
and 6b. To do this turn the hub cap clockwise to
release the axle (Fig. 6a) and remove the hub cap
with the screw and tire. The tires can now be fitted in
position 1, 2 or 3 to suit the required cutting height. Fit
all four tires at the same height so that the cutting
blade runs parallel to the lawn.
Position Cutting depth
1 60 mm
2 42.5 mm
3 25 mm
7. Operation
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data. Connect the plug (Fig.
1/Item 6) to an extension cable. It is imperative to
secure the extension cable with the cable grip as
shown in Figure 5a.
Important!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-off
(Fig. 5b/Item A) which must be pressed before the
switching bar (Fig. 5b/Item B) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switch is
released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work
on the machine, ensure that the blade is not rotating
and that the power supply is disconnected.
Repeat this process several times so that you are

perform any repair or maintenance work on the

that the power supply is disconnected.
Important!
Never open the discharge flap if the grass box is
being emptied and the motor is still running. The
rotating blade can cause serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag
carefully. Always switch off the motor before you
remove these items.
The safety distance between the blade casing and
the user provided by the guide struts must be
maintained at all times. Take special care when
mowing and changing direction on embankments
and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure surface
to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles that offer
good grip, and long trousers. Always mow across the
slope (not in up or down direction).
Do not use the mower on gradients exceeding 15°
for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and
pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling.
7.1 Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines.
