5-1 ASSEMBLE THE FOLDING HANDLE A) Fix the lower handlebars into the unit body with locking knobs. (Fig. 2A/Fig. 2B/Fig. 2C) B) Connect the upper handle and the lower handle with bolts, washers and locking knobs. (Fig. 2D/Fig. 2E/ Fig. 2F) C) Attach the cable clamp to the position shown and then attach the cable. (Fig. 2G/Fig. 2H)

There is a level indicator on the top of the grass catcher that shows whether the catcher is empty or full:

- If the catcher is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop moving immediately and empty the catcher, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated. (Fig. 3D) - The level indicator inflates if the catcher is not full during the moving. (Fig. 3E)

If the position of indicator opening is very dirty, the indicator will not inflate-in this case, clean the position of indicator opening immediately.

Apply outward pressure to disengage lever from rack.

Move lever forward or back to adjust height. The height (the blade to the ground) can be adjusted from 25 mm (position 1) to 75 mm (position 6), 6 height positions. All wheels will be in the same height of cut. (Fig. 4A/Fig. 4B)

WARNING: Make this adjustment only when the blade is stopped.

WARNING: Disconnect the electric cord from the power supply.

7. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

a) Always operate with the deflector or grass catcher in the correct position. b) Always stop the motor before removing the grass catcher or adjusting the height of cutting position.

1. Before mowing, remove all foreign objects from the lawn which may be thrown by the machine. While mowing, stay alert for any foreign objects which may have been missed. (Fig. 5A) 2. Never lift the rear of the mower while starting the motor or during normal operation. (Fig. 5B) 3. Never place your hands or feet underneath the underpan or into the rear discharge chute while the motor is running. (Fig. 5C)

8-1 STARTING Before connecting up the lawn mower to the electric power supply, make sure that the mains supply voltage is 230-240 V~ 50 Hz. Before start the lawn mower, fix the extension cord with the machine as the Fig. 6A shown. Start the motor as follows. (Fig. 6B) a) Press the safety push-button (1). b) And meanwhile, pull the switch handle (2), and keep it in grasp. If you release the switch handle, the motor will stop.

CAUTION: The blade starts turning as soon as the motor is started.

WARNING: For service, replace the blade with: DOLMAR 7290731 ONLY.

WARNING: Cutting elements continue to rotate after the motor is switched off.

WARNING: Disconnect the electric cord from the power supply.

8-2 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects.

Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.

WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor. Pull out the mains plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage.

The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

The blade is made of pressed steel. It will be necessary to reshape it frequently (with a grind wheel).

Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbalanced blade will cause dangerous vibrations). To check for balance, insert a round rod through the central hole and support the blade horizontally. A balance blade will remain horizontal. If the blade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards. Reshape the heavy end until the blade is currently balanced. To remove the blade (1), unscrew the blade screw (2) and replace any parts, which are damaged. When reassembling, make sure that the cutting edges face in the direction of the motor rotation. The blade screw (2) must be tightened to torque 20 N.m. 10

WARNING: Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades when replace the blade.

You should only use extension cords for outdoor use,

PVC ordinary duty with a cross sectional area not less than 1.0 mm2 (not lighter than H05VV-F 2 x 1.0 mm2). Before using, check the supply and extension cords for signs of damaged during use, disconnect the cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged or worn. Keep extension cord away from cutting elements.

WARNING: Always ensure that the ventilation openings are kept clear of debris.
