6. Operation
Note!
The engine comes without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol befo-
re starting the engine.
The enclosed engine manual from Briggs &
Stratton provides maintenance information
and maintenance interval information on the
engine.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch o the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes.
Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
Carrying out a safety test on the engine start/
stop lever
The lawn mower comes equipped with an engi-
ne start/stop lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1a) in order to
prevent it from starting up unintentionally and to
ensure that the engine and blade stop quickly in
case of danger. The lever must be actuated (Fig.
5b) before the lawn mower is started. When the
engine start/stop lever is released, it must return
to its initial position (Fig. 5a).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this process several times in order to ensure that
the lever and actuator cables are working pro-
perly.
Repeat the test several times after the engine
has started up. When the engine start/stop lever
is released, the engine must stop within a few se-
conds. If not, contact Customer Service.
Danger: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
6.1 Starting the engine
For detailed information on starting the engi-
ne, refer to the enclosed manual from Briggs
& Stratton.
Drive unit
Drive lever/clutch lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1b):
If you press this (Fig. 5c) the clutch for the drive
will be closed and the lawnmower will start to
move with the engine running. Release the drive
lever in good time to stop the moving lawnmower.
Practice starting and stopping before you use the
mower for the rst time until you are familiar with
controlling the mower.
6.2 Tips on mowing properly
Danger!
Never open the chute ap when the grass
bag has been detached (to be emptied) and
the engine is still running. The rotating blade
can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute ap and
debris bag. Switch o the engine before you
remove them.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of
adjustment, maintenance or repair work,
switch o the engine and wait until the blade
no longer rotates. Pull o the spark plug con-
nector.
Mowing
The engine is congured for an optimal grass cut-
ting speed, for ejecting grass into the debris bag,
and for many years of use.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.
This will prevent the grass blades from fraying
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
The swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more dicult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
