3. ASSEMBLY

Study each fi gure and identify the components required with reference to the fi gure ‘package contents’ and the contents table above.

Attaching the handle (Fig. A, B, C)

1. Push lower handle (2B) into angle adjustment bracket (4) and subsequently slide it over the bolt (23) protruding from the machine body (3).
2. Align the threaded part of the bracket and the machine. Add a washer on the bolt (23) and

now mount the lever (8). Tighten in clockwise direction.

1. Put the cable strain relief (6) on the right side of the upper handle (1) as shown on figure C.

2. Now attach the upper handle (1) to the lower handle (2), using the supplied bolts (7), washers (9) and levers (8) as shown on figure B. Make sure the safety switch (19) assembly is on the right side when standing behind the lawn mower.

3. Fixate the cable (14) to the handle by using the cable holders (5), as shown on figure C.
4. A properly assembled machine can be seen on figure E.

Note: When handle knobs are loosened, the handle can be folded down for storing the machine. Ensure that the power cable is not caught.

Assembling the grass catcher (Fig. D)

1. Ensure the metal bar frame is pre-assembled properly into the grass catcher (10).
2. Lift the grass catcher lid (15) and attach the grass catcher onto the machine (3). Ensure the holders on the grass box align properly with the indents of the machine body.

Replacing the blade (Fig. E, G, H)

Disconnect from the mains electricity supply.

Wear strong gloves.

1. Turn the machine (3) on its side and release the blade retaining clamp (22) by turning the wing bolt (21) anti-clockwise.
2. Fold the retaining clamp (22) upwards and pull the blade towards you to lift out the blade drive socket.
3. To replace, insert blade into drive socket and other end into blade retaining clamp (22) and tighten the wing bolt (21) by turning clockwise.

Note: The raker blade (13) must only be used in highest three working depths. If you are to use it too deep, the effi ciency will be reduced and spring damage may occur after prolonged use. The springs are made to remove the grass and moss from the surface. It is not necessary to go deeper into the soil. The lowest two working depths are used for the scarifi er blade (12) for heavier moss removal and scarifying.

4. OPERATION

Always ensure that the machine is in a safe working condition. Inspect and check safety devices and guards and check all nuts, bolts and screws are secure.

Make sure you know how to stop the machine and ensure you are familiar with emergency stop.

Start the machine following the instructions and stay clear of the machine's moving parts.

Adjusting the working depth (Fig. F)

The working depth is adjustable to 5 heights:

-12mm, -9mm, -6mm, -3mm and +10mm.

Be careful not to use the machine at too deep a setting. If there is excessive strain on the motor, it will lose speed and be less efficient. To adjust the working depth:

1. Pull the height adjustment lever (20) outwards (away from the machine housing).
2. Whilst holding the height adjustment lever (20) in outwards position, push it forward or backward to the desired working depth.
3. Release the lever (20) and ensure it engaged in the slot properly.

Securing the power cord (Fig. E, J)

Mount the cable into the cable strain relief (6) as shown on figure J.

Switching the machine on/off (Fig. E, K)

• To start the machine, press and hold the safety button (19) and press the on/off switch (18). Whilst holding the on/off switch (18), you can release pressure on the safety button (19).
• To stop the machine, release the on/off switch (18) and wait until cutting blade stops rotating. Always work your way away from the cables to avoid cutting them, as shown on figure L.

Using the scarifi er blade (Fig. H)

- By scarifying you remove the hardened surface, grass felt and fl at-growing weeds and the crusted over grassroots are loosened up. The lawn will start to breathe again and assimilate the nourishing substances, oxygen and water. This also prevents the establishing of bacteria in the lawn during the winter.

- Cut the grass to a height of about 40mm before scarifying. The lawn must be dry when using the machine. The best time for scarifying is any time during the vegetative season, from April through to September. Scarify it at least once a year. We recommend using a fertilizer straight after airing if you want a green carpet like lawn.

Using the raker blade (Fig. I)

• By raking you remove the dead matter, moss and weed which disfi gures a lawn. The build up of dead grass provides a mat of absorbent fi bres which prevents water getting through to the ground.
• Do not force your rake through grass that is longer than 75mm. The lawn must be dry when using the machine. It's recommend that this is used at the beginning and the end of each grass cutting season to give your lawn a thorough raking. This could also be used after each mowing to remove any grass cutting that may be left by your mower.

Proper use (Fig. L)

• For best results, place the machine on the edge of the lawn and work in forward direction. Then turn at the end of each run and mow in the opposite direction, slightly overlapping the previously cut strip. Also refer to figure L.
• Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects that could damage the product or its product.
• Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed in the middle of the lawn, cut a row or two around the circumference of the bed.
• Pay special attention when changing direction.
• Always work along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the machine from slipping down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
• Empty the grass catcher regularly.
• For best results, your lawn should be scarified every 4-6 weeks.
• We recommend scarifying the lawn in Spring and Autumn.
• We recommend aerating the lawn during the entire growing period.

Storage

Store the machine in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children. Do not place other objects on top of the machine.

EN

• To store the machine, fold the upper and lower handle downwards towards the machine.
• A wall bracket (11) is included with the delivery to mount the machine onto a wall when preferred. Use the provided screws to mount the wall bracket. Use appropriate wall plugs if necessary.

5. MAINTENANCE

Your machine has been designed to operate over a long period of time with minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning.

• Keep the machine clean and dry.
• Regularly use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt from the machine.
• To clean the machine, use only mild soap and a damp cloth. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part of the tool into liquid. Do not use any abrasive or solvent - based cleaner.

Stop the blade(s) if the machine has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the machine to and from the area to be used.

Do not start the machine when standing in front of the discharge opening.

Always allow the machine to cool down before storing. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only genuine replacement parts and accessories.
