6. Before starting the equipment
6.1 Assembling the components
Some parts of the mower come disassembled. For
quick and easy assembly, read and follow the
instructions below.
Important! You will need the following additional
tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for
maintenance work:
Ȝ A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
Ȝ A 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
Ȝ A petrol can
Ȝ A funnel (suitable for the tankʼs petrol filler neck)
Ȝ Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue;
dispose of these at a filling station)
Ȝ A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from
DIY stores)
Ȝ An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY
stores)
Assembly
1. Affix the lower push bar (Fig. 3a/Item 5) to the
mower housing and set the desired working
height. 3 different working heights are available.
Each peg on the lower push bar can be inserted
into a hole situated directly opposite to it, on the
mower housing, for example A-A (Fig. 3). The
lower push bar must be equally adjusted on both
sides. Now affix the cover (Fig. 3a/Item 23) and
attach the push bar (5) using the square head
screws (15) and the star screws (18) as shown in
Figure 3a.
2. Fasten the top push bar to the bottom push bar
using a screw (Fig. 3b/Item 16) and a star screw
(Fig. 3b/Item 18) on each side. Make sure that the
lobes of the screws are folded towards the inside
so that the high speed clamping function remains
operational.
3. Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/Item 4)
into the hook provided for that purpose as shown
in Figure 3c.
4. Fasten the cords to the push bar with the
supplied cable ties (Fig. 3d/Item. 13).
5. The debris bag should be assembled as shown in
Figure 3e. For this, insert the upper lugs of the
debris bag carefully into the openings on the
lower debris bag.
6. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 8) with one hand
and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 7) as
shown in Figure 4
6.2 Setting the cutting height
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
Ȝ 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.
Ȝ The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 7/Item 9). Up to 5 different cutting heights
can be selected.
Ȝ Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position.
7. Operation
Note:
For detailed information on starting the engine,
refer to the enclosed manual from Briggs &
Stratton.
Important.
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the
engine. You will also need to fill in petrol, as this
is also not supplied upon delivery.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
You can control the rotation speed of the blade using
the speed lever (Fig. 6).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjust-
ment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
