• 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
(especially little children, who are more
di󰀩cult to see).
• When mowing over thick, high grass,
select the highest cutting level and mow
at a slower speed. Before you remove any
grass or blockages of any kind, switch o󰀨
the engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never ll the engine with petrol when it is
hot or is running.
Emptying the grass basket
The debris bag (16) is equipped with a lling
level indicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened
by the air current produced by the mower. If
the ap falls during mowing, the debris bag
(16) is full and should be emptied. To ensure
that the lling level indicator works properly,
the holes under the ap must be kept clean
and permeable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the
lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass
basket.
m WARNING
Before taking o󰀨 the grass basket,
switch o󰀨 the engine and wait until the
blade has come to a stop.
To take o󰀨 the grass basket (16), use one
hand to lift up the chute ap (15) and the
other to grab onto the basket handle (Fig.
16). Remove the basket. For safety reasons,
the chute ap (15) automatically falls down
after removing the grass basket and closes
o󰀨 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 approx. 1 meter. Do not use
your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or a hand
broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass
clippings are picked up, the inside of both the
grass basket (16) and especially the air grill
must be cleaned after each use. Reattach
the grass basket (16) only when the engine
cut and make it harder for the machine to
bag the grass. Always mow along inclines
(not up and down). Slightly turning the front
wheels up the hill while mowing will prevent
the mower from sliding out of the straight
line. Select the cutting height according to
the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown
quite a bit, mow over it several times so that
no more than 4 cm of grass are cut at one
time. Switch o󰀨 the engine before doing any
checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the
blade continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the engine has been switched o󰀨.
Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is
securely attached, is in good condition and
is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen
the blade or replace it. In the event that the
blade strikes an object,immediately switch
o󰀨 the lawn mower and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the
condition of the blade and the blade mount.
Replace any parts that are damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run
into or over anything that could damage
the mower. The lawn mower could be
damaged and/or the machine could inict
bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can
burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch
these parts unless the mower has been
switched o󰀨 for a while and you know that
they have cooled down!
• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines
and steep grades.
• Insu󰀩cient daylight or even a su󰀩cient
level of articial light is one reason not to
mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other
parts if they have struck a foreign object
or if the machine vibrates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs
until the engine has been switched o󰀨. Pull
the plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing
directly next to a street or are close by
one (tra󰀩c). Always keep the grass chute
pointed away from the street.
