6b Electric start (*): Start the engine by turning the
ignition key clockwise. Release the key as soon
as the engine starts. Always make short at-
tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg-
ing the battery.
For ease of starting, press down the handle so
that the front wheels lift slightly from the
ground. Do not start in thick grass.
7. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-
tating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is run-
ning.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. Open the fuel tap (fig. 13).
4. Set the throttle control B in the choke posi-
tion . NOTE! It is not necessary to use the
choke position when the engine is warm (fig.
14).
5. Press the OPC G towards the handle. NOTE!
The OPC G must be kept pressed in to prevent
the engine stopping (fig. 14).
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
7. When the engine starts, move the throttle con-
trol backwards until max. revs are obtained.
NOTE! The engine should always be run at
maximum revs to avoid abnormal machine vi-
brations.
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-
tating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is run-
ning.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.
This can cause burn injuries.
1. Release the OPC G (fig. 14) to stop the engine.
This loop must not be disengaged (e.g. by set-
ting it in the depressed position against the han-
dle), as it will not be possible to stop the engine.
Honda: Close the fuel tap.
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug.
If the OPC ceases to work, stop the en-
gine by removing the spark plug cable
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawn mower to an authorised work-
shop for repair.
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I to-
wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing
the clutch loop I (fig. 14).
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the engine before adjusting the
cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade come into contact with uneven
ground.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to one of the nine positions best suit-
ed to your lawn (fig. 15).
MAINTENANCE
No servicing may be carried out on the
engine or lawnmower without first re-
moving the spark plug cable from the
spark plug.
Stop the engine and remove the spark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. during transportation.
If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it
must be tilted so that the engine’s spark
plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawnmower
when the fuel tank is empty.
