Adjusting The Cutting Height; Operation - EINHELL GC-EM 1743 HW Manual De Instrucciones Original

5.2 Fitting the push bar (Fig. 4a to 4e)
Fit a bottom push bar (Fig. 4a/Item 2) into the
opening provided for it (Fig. 4a) and secure it as
shown in Figure 4b with a screw (Fig. 4b/Item 19).
Proceed in the same way on the other side.
When you fi t the top push bar you can decide the
height of the push bar by selecting the appropri-
ate fastening hole (Fig. 4c). 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 (Fig. 2/Item 20) as shown in
Fig. 4d. Then attach the power cable to the push
bar (Fig. 4e/Item A) using the cable clips (Fig. 2/
Item 18).
5.3 Fitting the grass box (Fig. 5a to 5d)
Plug the bottom and the top part of the grass box
together (Fig. 5a/Item 10, 11). Ensure that all the
plastic lugs engage correctly. Next push the grass
box handle (Fig. 5b/Item 12) into the openings on
the grass box. Check that the handle is secure
and correctly positioned.
Before you fi t the grass basket 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. 5c/Item A). To do
this, open the ejector fl ap with one hand (Fig. 5d/
Item 6) and attach the grass box with the other
hand as shown in Fig. 5d. The ejector fl ap is held
against the grass box by a spring.
5.4 Filling level indicator of the grass box
The grass box is equipped with a fi lling level
indicator (Fig. 2/Item 21) which is opened by the
airfl ow that the lawn mower generates during ope-
ration. If the fl ap closes during mowing, the grass
box is full and must be emptied. To ensure the
proper functioning of the fi lling level indicator, the
holes under the fl ap must always be kept clean
and passable.

5.5 Adjusting the cutting height

Important!
Adjust the cutting height only when the motor is
switched off and the power cable has been dis-
connected.
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 6/Item 4). Up to 6 diff erent cutting heights
can be selected.
Pull the adjuster lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever will snap into the desired
position.

6. Operation

Before you connect the equipment to the power
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the supply voltage. Connect the
plug (Fig. 1/Item 8) to an extension cable. It is
imperative to secure the extension cable with the
cable grip as shown in Fig. 7.
Important!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-off
(Fig. 8/Item A) which must be pressed before the
switching bar (Fig. 8/Item B) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switching
bar is released. Repeat this process several times
so that you are sure that the machine functions
properly. Before you perform any repair or main-
tenance work on the equipment, ensure that the
blade is not rotating and that the power supply is
disconnected.
Important! Never open the chute fl ap when
the grass bag has been detached (to be emp-
tied) and the motor is still running. A rotating
blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be
used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
