1. Loosen the locknuts (12) on

both sides of the machine.

2. Place one foot on the cas-

tors (9) and set the desired cut height with both hands on the adjusting handles (14). Ensure that the machine is set to the same height on both sides.

3. Retighten the locking

screws (12). Set the cut height no lower than to where the blade cylinder does not touch the ground even where it is uneven. Working Instructions Regular mowing stimulates the stronger formation of leaves in the grass as well as allowing weeds to die o󰀨 at the same time. Thus, the lawn becomes thicker each time it is mowed and a lawn with even resilience is produced.

• Run the machine at walking pace, in strips that are a straight as possible. For seamless mowing, the strips should always overlap by a few centi- metres.

• On slopes, always work across the slope.

• For the rst cut of the season, choose a high the cut height and reduce the height to around 20 mm for the subse- quent cuts. Cleaning and Maintenance Have work that is not described in these instructions carried out by one of our authorised cus- tomer service centres. Use only original components. Wear gloves when dealing with the blades. Before each use, check the ma- chine for obvious defects, such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are sitting rmly. Check covers and safety devices for damage and check that these are sitting correctly. Replace if nec- essary.

• Always keep the machine clean. For cleaning, use a brush or cloth, but no cleaning agents or solvents.

• After mowing, remove any plant re- mains stuck to the wheels and the blade area.

• Rub the blades with an oil rag or spray them with a metal maintenance spray.

• Due to the special cutting geometry, the blade cylinder blades cannot be re-sharpened. If necessary, the blade cylinder and sub-blade must therefore be replaced as a set. Have a special- ist workshop carry out the installation of the blade cylinder.22

Adjust the Cutting Clearance The blade cylinder blades must be ad- justed if the grass is no longer being cut evenly and cleanly.

1. Remove the machine key (3)

and metal strips (feeler gauge) (4) from the machine holder (cf. 5).

3. Turn the hex bolts (10) to the

right then to the left on the machine, in small steps in the clockwise direction until the metal strip sticks slightly.

4. Check the setting by turning

the blade cylinder. None of the blade cylinder blades should be in contact and grinding on the sub-blade. If it is no longer possible to adjust the cutting clearance, the blade cylinder and sub-blade must be replaced as a set. Storage

• Keep the machine dry and out of reach of children. For space-saving storage, loosen the wing nuts and fold the handle bar together. Guarantee
