For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Mulching
In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in the
enclosed mower housing and then spread back onto
the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dispose of
the grass.
m Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is rela-
tively short.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris
bag (16), slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 10-12) into
the ejector opening and close the ejector opening (15).
Mowing
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. Insodoing, the mowing
swaths should always overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it
more di󰀩cult to start the mower; they decrease the
quality of the 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.
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 in-
dicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened by the air current
produced by the mower. If the ap falls during mow-
ing, the debris bag (16) is full and should be emptied.
To ensure that the lling level indicator works prop-
erly, the holes under the ap must be kept clean and
permeable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mow-
er, 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 is switched o󰀨 and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute ap (15), while
grabbing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang
in the basket from the top. Fig. 9
