5. Flip the air filter cover closed and screw it back together.

Maintaining the Spark Plug

A worn spark plug or a spark gap that is too large will result in a reduction of engine performance.

1. Disconnect the spark plug connector (12) from the spark plug by simultaneously pulling and

turning.

1. Unscrew the spark plug anti-clockwise using the enclosed spark plug socket.
2. Check the spark gap using a feeler gauge (available from specialist shops). The spark gap must be at least 0.76 mm.
3. If necessary, adjust the gap by carefully bending the ground electrode on the spark plug.
4. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.
5. Insert the cleaned and adjusted spark plug or replace a damaged spark plug with a new one (recommended torque 20 Nm) (see "replacement parts").

Changing the Engine Oil

To change the engine oil, tip the equipment backwards on the handle bar (see N). To prevent operating fluids from leaking out, do not lie the equipment on its side.

- Change the engine oil for the first time after around 5 operating hours then every 50 operating hours or annually.

• Change the engine oil when the engine is warm.
• Dispose of the used oil in an ecofriendly manner (see “disposal / environmental protection”).

1. Open the oil drain plug (34) (female square drive) on the bottom of the equipment.

2. Drain the engine oil into a suitable container.

3. Wipe up spilt engine oil and screw back in the oil drain plug (34).

Sharpening / Changing the Blades

• Always have a blunt blade resharpened by a specialist workshop, as an imbalance check can be carried out there.
  • Always have a specialist workshop change a damaged or imbalanced blade. Incorrect installation can result in serious injury.

Adjusting the Carburettor

The carburettor has been preset in the factory for optimum performance. If readjustments are required, have the adjustments made by a specialist workshop.

Storage

General Storage Instructions

Do not store the equipment with a full collection box. In hot weather, the grass begins to ferment when heat is generated. Risk of fire.

• Clean and service the equipment before storage.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing the equipment in enclosed areas.
• Use suitable and authorised containers for storing fuel.
• Keep the equipment in a dry place

that is protected from dust and out of reach of children.

- Do not wrap the equipment in nylon bags as damp and mould could form.

For space-saving storage, the upper handle bar (2) can be folded down (see small image). Release the quick-release lever (21) and fold down the handle bar so the equipment takes up less space. The Bowden cables (4) must not be squashed when doing this.

Storage During Longer Breaks from Operation

Non-observance of the storage instructions may cause starting problems or permanent damage as a result of fuel residues in the carburettor.

• Drain the fuel tank in a well-ventilated location. To do this, open the petrol drain screw (P 35) and drain the petrol into a suitable container. Screw back in the petrol drain screw.
• To drain the carburettor, start the engine and allow it to run until it stops because it runs out of fuel.

• Change the oil (see "changing the engine oil").
  • Preserve the engine:

• Unscrew the spark plug (P 12) (see "cleaning and maintenance");

• Pour a tablespoon of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the engine compartment;
• Pull the starter cord (E 23) slowly several times with the safety catch (E 3) pulled in order to distribute the oil inside the engine;

- Screw the spark plug tight.

- Dispose of used oil and petrol residues in an ecofriendly manner (see "disposal / environmental protection").

There is no need to drain the petrol tank if a fuel stabiliser is added to the petrol (see “replacement parts” and Briggs & Stratton instruction manual).

Disposal / Environmental Protection

- Return the tool, accessories and packaging to a recycling centre when you have finished with them.

• Carefully drain the petrol and oil tanks and take your equipment to a recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts that are used can be separated by type and thus recycled.
• Take used oil and petrol residues to a disposal point and do not pour them into the sewer system or down the drain.
• Ask our Service-Center for details.

• Defective units returned to us will be disposed of for free.
- Do not throw cut grass in the dust-bin but rather compost it or spread it under bushes and trees as a mulch layer.

ibration emission value may differ during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used.

Safety precautions aimed at protecting the user should be based on estimated exposure under actual usage conditions (all parts of the operating cycle are to be considered, including, for example, times during which the power tool is turned off and times when the tool is turned on but is running idle).

Noise and vibration values were determined according to the standards and stipulations mentioned in the declaration of conformity.

Technical and optical changes can be carried out in the course of further development without notice. All dimensions, references and information of this instruction manual are therefore without guarantee. Legal claims, which are made on the basis of the instruction manual, cannot thus be considered as valid.
