Before mowing

Important information

• Make sure that you are properly dressed when mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not wear sandals or tennis shoes.
• Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or damaged in any other way must be immediately exchanged for a genuine replacement blade.
• Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
• Read and follow in the instructions in the operating manual as well as the information regarding the engine and accessory equipment. Store the manual in a place where it can be readily accessed by other users of the machine.
• Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine out in the open.
• Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that they are in good working order.
• The machine should only be operated by persons who are well informed with the way it works, and who are in reasonably good physical condition.
• It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it is wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass when it is dry.

• Advise children and others to keep well away from the lawn mower.

• Never mow the grass in poor visibility.

• Remove all loose objects from the lawn before you start mowing the grass.(Like stones, toys, sticks and wires etc.)

Tips for proper mowing

△ CAUTION! Never open the chute flap when the catch bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!

Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the grass basket. Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained between the user and the mower housing. Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always mow along the incline (not up and down).

For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees. Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

Mulching

In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in the enclosed mower housing and then spread back onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dispose of the grass.

⚠️ Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is relatively short.

To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris bag (16), slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 10-12 / 19) into the ejector opening and close the ejector opening (15).

Mowing

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.

Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. Inso-doing, the mowing swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips. Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the hill while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding out of the straight line. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it several times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are cut at one time.

Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been switched off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.

Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.

Tips for proper mowing:

• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over anything that could damage the mower. The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts unless the mower has been switched off for a while and you know that they have cooled down!
• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.
• Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of artificial light is one reason not to mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine vibrates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind you (especially little children, who are more difficult to see).
• When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed. Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.

Emptying the grass basket

The grass basket (16) has a level indicator (Fig. 16). This is opened by the air flow generated by the mower during operation. If the flap (Fig. 16) closes during mowing, the gras basket (16) is full and should be emptied. To ensure that the filling level indicator works properly, the holes under the flap must be kept clean and permeable.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.

WARNING

Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has come to a stop.

To take off the grass basket (16), use one hand to lift up the chute flap (15) and the other to grab onto the basket handle (Fig. 16). Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the chute flap (15) automatically falls down after removing the grass basket and closes off the rear chute opening.

If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if you pull the mower back approx.

1 meter. Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.

In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket (16) and especially the air grill must be cleaned after each use.

Reattach the grass basket (16) only when the engine is switched off and the blade is stopped.

Using one hand, lift up the chute flap (15), while grabbing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the basket from the top. Fig. 9

After mowing

• Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn mower in an enclosed area.
  Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top of the mower.
• Check all the screws and nuts once more before you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any loose screws.
• Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).
• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized use.
• Ensure that you do not park the mower next to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an extended period, empty the petrol tank using a petrol suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.

10. Cleaning

Cleaning

The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. In particular, the underside and the blade retainer.

Attention!

For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable before cleaning.

It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark plug should point upwards to prevent engine oil from entering the intake tract or leaking out.

Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you must make sure that the air filter is on the upper side.

Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump.

Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.

It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately after mowing.

Grass residues and dirt that have dried on can impair mowing. Check that the grass ejection channel is clear of grass residues and remove these if necessary.

Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pressure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.

Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold cleaners or white spirit.

Fig. 24 (w)

• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
• Fit the hose connection to the mower and turn the tap on. (Fig. 24)

- Start the mower and switch off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.

- Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection.

- Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).

11. Transport

Preparing the mower for transportation (Fig. 22)

• Empty the petrol tank.
  • Always let the engine run until it has used up the remainder of petrol in the tank.
  • Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.
• Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
• Remove the start tension cable (17) from the hook. Loosen the quick-release lever (5) and fold the upper push bar down. Make sure the cables are not bent during this process.
• Wedge a few layers of corrugated cardboard between the upper and lower push bars and the engine in order to prevent any chafing.

12. Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost-free place that is inaccessible to children.

The optimum storage temperature lies between 5 and 30 °C.

• Never store the machine with petrol in the tank inside a building in which fuel vapours may come into contact with naked flames or sparks
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
• In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, exhaust, battery box and the area surrounding the fuel tank free of grass, straw, moss, leaves or escaping grease.

Preparing the mower for long-term storage

Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed areas, near fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can cause explosions and fire.

• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
- Start the engine and let it run until any remaining petrol has been used up.
- Change the oil at the end of every season. To do so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine and refill with fresh oil.
- Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
- Fill the cylinder with approx. 20ml of oil from an oil can.
- Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will bathe in the cylinder wall with oil.
- Screw the spark plug back in.
- Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
- Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the paint.
- Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.

Battery Pack and Charger

13. Maintenance

• Regular, careful maintenance is required to guarantee the safety level and performance of the machine.
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened securely and that the machine is in safe working condition.
• Routinely check the grass basket for signs of wear and impaired functionality.

Regularly clean the grass box with water and let it dry thoroughly.

• For your own safety, replace worn or damaged parts without delay.
• If the fuel tank should require emptying this should only be done in the open air using a petrol suction pump (available from DIY shops).

⚠ WARNING

Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ignition unit with the engine running. Always pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any work on the machine while it is running. Any work not described in these Operating Instructions must be performed by an authorized service workshop only.

Attention!

Always shut the engine down and remove the spark plug connector before carrying out any maintenance work.

Wheel axles and wheel hubs

• These should be lightly greased once a season.

Blade

For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an authorized service workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.

Changing the knife (fig. 17)

Only ever use original spare parts when having the blade replaced. Wear gloves when replacing the blade in order to prevent injury.

Never have any other blade fitted.

• Empty the fuel tank before removing the blade
- To replace the blade, undo the screw.
- Reinstall as illustrated in Fig. 17. Tighten the screw properly. Tightening torque 45Nm . When replacing the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.

Damaged blades

Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come into contact with an obstruction, shut down the engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot.

Tip the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for damage. Damaged or bent blades must be re-

placed. Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead to further damage to the lawn mower.

⚠ Caution! There is a risk of injury if you work with a damaged blade.

Resharpening the blade

The blades can be resharpened with a metal file. In order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be re-sharpened by an authorized service workshop.

Checking the oil level

⚠ CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too little oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine. Use only SAE30 engine oil.

Checking the oil level (Fig. 18):

• Stand the lawn mower on a flat level surface.
• Unscrew the oil dip stick (12) by turning anticlockwise, pull out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back in the filling mount as far as the stop, but do not screw back in.
• Pull out the dip stick (12) again and read off the oil level while holding horizontally. The oil level must be between the maximum and the minimum

Changing the oil (Fig. 23)

• Change the engine oil every year before the start of the season when the engine is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30).
• Empty the fuel tank (with a petrol suction pump)
• Place a flat oil drip tray in front of the mower (min. volume 1 litre).
• Remove the dipstick and tip over the mower until the whole oil is run out into the oil drip tray.
• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the dipstick (approx. 0.5 l).
• Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to check the oil level – only insert it as far as the thread.

Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.

Cleaning the belts (Fig. 17, 19)

• Remove the knife and the gear housing by loosening the screws out.
• Clean the elements of the transmission and the belt once or twice a year with brush or compressed air.
• Screw the transmission housing and the knife on again.

Care and adjustment of the cables

Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they move easily.

Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 20)

A soiled air filter will reduce the performance of the engine because it will prevent enough air getting to the carburetor. It is therefore imperative that regular checks are made.

The air filter should be checked every 25 hours and cleaned if required. If the air is very dusty the air filter should be checked more regularly.

Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element. To avoid objects falling into the air intake, replace the air filter cover. (Fig. 20).

Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable cleaning agents. Clean the air filter with compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.

Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 21)

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist.

Remove the spark plug (10) with a spark plug wrench.

Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm(0.030").

Replace the spark plug (10) and take care not to pull it too firmly.

Engine brake lever (Fig. 1)

The engine is equipped with a mechanical brake (3) which has to be checked regularly. When releasing the brake lever, the blade must come to a halt within 7 seconds. If this is not the case, the machine must not be used. Contact an authorised specialist retailer. Ensure that the machine is in a flawless condition for its entire service life. Improper maintenance may lead to life-threatening injuries.
