4. Preparing the equipment for use
4.1 Assembly
Your lawnmower will be ready for use in only a few
steps.
Securing the handle:
• Open locking screws (8)
• Pivot the upper handle into the required position – if
required, release locking screws (8) a little.
• Turn the open locking screw far enough inwards to
ensure that both handle parts sit closely together
when the locking levers are closed. If required, either
tighten or relax the locking screws by one full turn.
Tip: Lock the locking screw levers upwards to ensure
that, whilst mowing, the screws do not catch on shrubs.
Secure the Bowden and other cables in the cable
guides.
Folding the handle again for transport or storage:
When folding the handle, open both locking screws
upwards and tilt the upper handle forward.
Note: On lawnmowers with self-drive, push the
control bar (2) against the handle, before folding the
handle over, to prevent damaging the spark plug
Starter handle inserted in the cable guide
Release the engine brake by bushing brake lever, A (1),
to the handle. Put the starter grip (5) in the cable guide
which is located on the upper handle part.
Attention: When folding and unfolding the handle, pay
special attention that the Bowden cables are not bent
and run smoothly..
Caution! Assure that Bowden cables are not caught up
anywhere and that they have not become damaged
during transport!
4.2 Grass Catching Device
Caution! Assemble and disassemble grass catching
device only when engine is shut off!
To install grass catching device, lift ejection shield (7),
with one hand. With the other hand, hold grass catching
device (6), at the carrying grip and link into mower deck
at an angle from above.
4.3 Adjusting cutting height
The mower is equipped with a continuously adjustable
cutting height of approx. 30 - 75 mm (approx. 1 - 3
inches). The height adjustment for all wheels is
accomplished by the central adjustment (position 11).
Turning to the right reduces the cutting height, and
turning to the left increases the height. The height can
be read from the markings.
Attention: The cutting height is to be set so that the
blade does not touch the ground when the ground is not
level. Only mow with the lowest cutting adjustment
when lawns are flat.
4.4 Engine
Prior to start up, carefully read the engine operating
manual and the following instructions. Adhere to all
instructions to assure the engine‘s long life and to keep
the warranty valid.
