Please read the entire operating instructions before assembling or starting your new mower.

IMPORTANT: The mower is supplied without oil and petrol.

UNPACK THE MOWER

Take the mower out of the board and check whether there are any free parts left there.

Wheel assembly (Fig. 5 a-f)

Install wheel at the lawn mower according to figures 5 a-f.

⚠️Pay attention to proper order of spacer disc at both sides (fig. 5d)
⚠️Pay attention to that star-shaped screws are tightened firmly enough (self-locking.

Assembly of collecting bag (Fig. 2) (Fig. 3) (Fig. 4)

1. Take the collecting bag, corresponding frame and plastic insert out of the package. (Fig. 2)
2. Put the frame into the collecting bag while paying attention to that the coupling at the frame is outside the collecting bag. (Fig. 3)
3. Now fix the collecting bag at the frame. (Fig. 4)

Assembly - Handle

IMPORTANT: Disassemble the handle with care to prevent clamping or damage of the cables.

1. Lift the handle until it snaps in the working position.
2. Remove the protection sleeve, lift the upper parts of the handle and assemble it with the bottom part. Tighten the safety bolts on both sides of the handle.
3. Remove the protection sleeve of the operation grab handle in the upper part.

Operation

Operation lever (for automatic stopping) (12) – press the lever towards the handle when starting. If you want to switch the engine off release the lever.

Drive lever (13) - used when you want the mower to be moving forward.

1. Cutting (without grass catcher)

The cut grass is laid in strips.

1. Cutting and collecting

The grass is collected to the grass catcher (if the grass is damp or wet it reduces the catcher capacity). If you want to mount the catcher to the mower lift the cover plate and hang the grass catcher.

3. Mulching

When the mulching wedge is inserted (see the picture and "Changeover to mulching" article) the grass is not thrown up but ground by the cutting knives and the grass will remain as surface fertilisation on the lawn

mulching cutting and collecting cutting

Changeover to mulching

1. Assembly and disassembly of accessories must always take place when the engine is switched off.
2. Remove the grass catcher, insert the mulching wedge to the ejection channel and lock the mulching wedge (1) point it against two outlets (2) in the bottom part and ensure it with a self-securing hook (3).
3. Please make sure the mulching wedge is mounted firmly after the changeover.
4. Attention!!! Use original equipment from the producer only.

5. Disassembly

Press with thumb in the middle (3) then release and deflect the mulching wedge downwards.

Attention!!!

If the mower is blocked during mulching reduce the travelling speed so that the knife could continue in grinding the grass and spread it on the lawn. Never remove the gathered grass with your hands.

DRIVE CONTROL

The self-propelling travel is controlled as follows: Press the operation lever (lever for automatic stopping) (12) towards the handle and simultaneously press the drive lever towards the handle (13).

The forward movement is stopped by releasing the drive lever (13).

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Depending on the cutting height required it is necessary to adjust the height of wheels. Adjust the height with the lever (8) as you wish. The middle position is most suitable at most mowers.

Important tips and advice for grass cutting!!!

• Under certain conditions, e.g. when the grass is very high, it may be necessary to adjust bigger cutting height so that effort at pushing the mower was reduced, engine overloading removed and blocking of grass in the mower prevented. It is possible you will also have to reduce the mower travel speed and/or cut the area again.
• If cutting is very difficult it may be suitable to reduce the travel speed and mower gear.
• Vent ports in the grass catcher may get blocked if the catcher is not cleaned regularly. Clean the grass catcher regularly with water and let it dry before use.
• Keep the upper part of the engine in the starter place clean. Air flow will be improved and engine life increased by doing so.
• Cut in dry weather only.
  • Always keep the knives sharp.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT – Regular maintenance is unavoidable for constant operational reliability and keeping the original device output.

1) Keep all screws and nuts tightened so that you were sure the device is in an operation-reliable condition. Regular maintenance is necessary for safety and trouble-free operation.
2) Never store the device with fuel in closed rooms as the evaporating fuel may ignite.
3) It is necessary to let the device cool down and empty fuel from it before storing in closed rooms.
4) In order to minimise the risk of fire keep the engine and muffler and the fuel tank clean and with no grass, leaves and fats. Do not store the grass cut with the mower.
5) For safety reasons, avoid using a device with a worn or damaged parts. Replace any faulty parts with new ones, do not repair them. Use original spare parts and original spare knives only.
Parts with quality different from the one prescribed may damage the device and threaten your safety.
6) If it is necessary to empty the fuel tank do it outside and with cold engine.
7) Wear solid protective gloves at assembly and adjustment of knives.
8) Check correct direction of rotating and balance of knives after sharpening.
9) Regularly check wear and pollution of the self-closing cover and grass catcher.
10) When you must transport the device, carry it in hands or incline it always wear safety gloves.

Always hold the device at places guaranteeing safe holding. Take into account the weight of the device and its distribution.

ČLEANING

Clean the device with water, remove the grass and mud from inside before each use – it will prevent from impurities getting dry and problems at next starting.

The painting inside the housing may wear down in the course of time. In order to prevent later corrosion of the device use anti-corrosive paint for the worn-down spots.

Equipment is provided by water quick acting coupling, compatible with Gardena system enables easier cleaning. To easy and thoroughly equipment cleaning join water supply and according the level of deposits let lawnmower run about 30 seconds.

Remove the gearbox cover and clean the space around belt pulleys and drive belts with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.

You should clean the inside of the drive wheels once per season. Disassemble both wheels. Clean the cog wheels and their edges off the grass and other impurities with compressed air or a brush.

KNIFE DISASSEMBLY

For purpose of cleaning / sharpening / replacement

Attention!!! It is necessary to first disconnect the spark plug before disassembly.

Release the screw at disassembly of the knives.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts and a hand symbol (no text or labels present)

Re-assemble according to the picture. Tighten the screws. Torsion moment of 40 Nm. You should also replace the screw at replacement of knives.

STORAGE

The petrol must not remain in the fuel tank for more than 1 month. Regularly clean the mower and store it to a dry, closed room.

ENVIRONMENT

You should pay special attention to the following points for environment protection:

• Always use clean unleaded petrol.
• Always use a funnel and/or can with level regulation to prevent fuel spilling while refuelling.
- Do not fill the fuel tank up to the edge.
- Do not let the engine oil overflow.
- At changing the oil, make sure the oil used will be disposed in accordance with the regulations. Prevent oil spilling.
- Do not throw the oil filters to the municipal waste but deliver them to appropriate collection centre.
- Replace the absorber if faulty. Use original spare parts at repairs.
• Always have the carburettor adjusted by a specialist.
