and/or the machine could infl ict bodily injury.
2. A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn
the skin if touched. Do not touch these parts.
3. Use extra caution when mowing on inclines
and steep grades.
4. Insuffi cient daylight or an insuffi cient level of
artifi cial light is one reason not to mow.
5. Check the mower, the blade and other parts
if they have struck a foreign object or if the
equipment vibrates more than usual.
6. Do not make any adjustments or repairs until
the engine has been switched off . Pull the
plug boot.
7. Pay special attention if you are mowing direct-
ly next to a street or are close by one (traffi c).
Always keep the grass chute pointed away
from the street.
8. Avoid mowing in places where the wheels
have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in
any other way. Before you back up, ensure
that nobody is standing behind you (espe-
cially little children, who are more diffi cult to
see).
9. When mowing over thick, high grass, select
the highest cutting level and mow at a slower
speed. Before you remove any grass or blo-
ckages of any kind, switch off the engine and
pull the plug boot.
10. Never remove any safety-related parts.
11. Never fi ll the engine with petrol when it is hot
or is running.
6.6 Emptying the grass basket
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important. Before taking off the grass bag,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade
has come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket carry-handle. Remove the basket (Fig. 4a).
For safety reasons, the chute fl ap automatically
falls down after removing the grass basket and
closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass
remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart
the engine if you pull the mower back approxi-
mately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
bag and especially the air grill must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute fl ap, while grab-
bing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang
in the basket from the top.
6.7 After mowing
1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the
lawn mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects
on top of the mower.
3. Before using the mower again, retighten all
nuts and screws. Tighten all screws which
were slackened.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Disconnect the spark plug boot to prevent
unauthorized use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next
to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can
lead to explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see
address on the warranty certifi cate).
8. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction
pump if you are not intending to use the mo-
wer for an extended period of time.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is
not a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the equipment.
12. How to switch off the engine:
All you have to do to switch off the engi-
ne is release the engine start/stop lever
(Fig. 5a/Item 1a). Pull the ignition cable from
the spark plug boot in order to prevent the
engine from restarting. Before you start the
engine again, check the cord for the engine
brake. Check that the cord is correctly fi tted.
If the cord is kinked or damaged, it should be
replaced.
