Preparing the equipment for use

7. Preparing the equipment for use

7.1 Engine

Prior to start up, carefully read the engine
operating manual and the following instructions.
Adhere to all instructions to assure the engine's
long life and to keep the warranty valid.
Attention: When delivered, your lawn
mower contains no engine oil.
Prior to the first start-up, make sure to fill in engine
oil. (Observe the hints in the separate engine
operator's manual).
Attention: Never operate the engine without
oil or with little oil. Major engine damage can
occur.
 Prior to mowing, check the oil level and refill oil
if necessary (see chap. 10.4).

7.2 Assembly

Your lawnmower will be ready for use in only a few
steps.
Securing the handle:
• Open locking screws (8)
• Pivot the upper handle into the required position
– if required, release locking screws (8) a little.
• Turn the open locking screw far enough
inwards to ensure that both handle parts sit
closely together when the locking levers are
closed. If required, either tighten or relax the
locking screws by one full turn.
Tip: Lock the locking screw levers upwards to
ensure that, whilst mowing, the screws do not
catch on shrubs.
Secure the Bowden and other cables in the cable
guides.
Folding the handle again for transport or storage:
When folding the handle, open both locking
screws upwards and tilt the upper handle forward.
Note: On lawnmowers with self-drive, push the
control bar (2) against the handle, before folding
the handle over, to prevent damaging the spark
plug
Starter handle inserted in the cable guide
Release the engine brake by bushing brake lever,
A (1), to the handle. Put the starter grip (5) in the
cable guide which is located on the upper handle
part.
Attention: When folding and unfolding the handle,
pay special attention that the Bowden cables are
not bent and run smoothly.
Caution! Assure that Bowden cables are not
caught up anywhere and that they have not
become damaged during transport!

7.3 Grass catching device

Caution! Assemble and disassemble grass
catching device only when engine is shut off!
Fig. 3
To install grass catching device, lift ejection shield
(7), with one hand. With the other hand, hold grass
catching device (6), at the carrying grip and link
into mower deck at an angle from above.

7.4 Adjusting cutting height

Fig. 4
The mower is equipped with a continuously
adjustable cutting height of approx. 30–75 mm
(approx. 1–3 inches). The height adjustment for all
wheels is accomplished by the central adjustment
(position 11). Turning to the right reduces the
cutting height, and turning to the left increases the
height. The height can be read from the markings.
Attention: The cutting height is to be set so that
the blade does not touch the ground when the ground is not level. Only mow with the lowest
cutting adjustment when lawns are flat.
