Transport
Switch off the engine and wait until the blade
comes to a stop before you lift the device. It
takes two persons to safely lift the device.
Prior to transport, let the device cool down for
at least 20 minutes. Close the fuel valve.
For transport, you can fold up the guide bar.
When transporting by vehicle, secure the
device against rolling, sliding, tilting, and fuel
and oil leakage.
Use tension belts to secure the device.
Beware! To avoid damage to the device,
fasten the tension belts exclusively as shown
in the illustration.
Information on mowing
Prior to mowing, check your device for
completeness, proper functioning, and
cleanliness. A dirty ventilation grid can
damage the engine and a dirty protective grid
at the silencer poses a fire hazard.
To keep the area well maintained, mow
frequently and keep the grass short. Do not
mow your lawn too low in dry and hot
conditions because the lawn is susceptible to
sun and heat damage and will look unsightly!
Only mow with a sharp and undamaged
blade so that the blades of grass do not fray.
Have the blade sharpened and balanced
regularly (authorised service centre).
Do not mow when the grass is wet or when it
is raining. The turf may be damaged and
there is a danger of slipping!
Turn the device around only in already mown
sections. Do not leave the device unattended
while the engine is running.
