When using the petrol lawnmower for extended periods, vibration-induced circulatory problems may occur (white finger disease).

Information about the duration of use cannot be provided in this case, since this can vary from person to person.

Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating devices can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics). If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working immediately and seek medical advice.

The following factors can influence the condition:

• Circulatory problems in the user's hands
• Low outside temperatures
• Extended periods of use

We therefore recommend you wear warm work gloves and take regular breaks.

Starting the engine without the electric starter (Fig. 14)

• Make sure that the device is connected properly to the spark plug.
• Stand behind the lawnmower. One hand pushes the engine brake lever (3) to the handle, the other hand should be on the pull starter (5).
• Start the engine with the pull starter (5). To do this pull the handle approx. 10 – 15 cm (until you feel a resistance) and then start the engine with a sharp pull. If the engine does not start, pull on the handle again.
• Due to protective coating on the engine, a small amount of smoke may be present during the initial use of the device and should be considered normal. This is a normal process.

Note: Easier start at colder temperatures by pressing the primer button (11) Fig. 14. Use only when the engine is cold!

⚠ Attention!

• Never allow the pull cable starter to snap back.
• Attention: In case of cool weather, it may be necessary to repeat the starting process numerous times.

Turning off the engine:

• To stop the engine, release the drive lever (2) then the engine brake lever (3) and wait until the blade stops.
• Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug (h) to avoid unintentional starting of the engine. (Fig.22)
• Before you start the engine again, check the cable for the engine brake. Check that the cable is correctly fitted. If the cable is kinked or damaged, it should be replaced.
• Remove the battery.

Before mowing

Important notes:

• Dress appropriately. Wear sturdy shoes and no sandals or trainers.
• Check the cutting blade. If a blade is bent or otherwise damaged, it must be replaced with an original blade.
• Only fill the fuel tank outdoors. Use a filling funnel and a measuring jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.

• Read and follow the operating instructions and also the instructions regarding the engine and the accessories. Keep the manual accessible for other users of the device.

• Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine outdoors.

• Make sure that all safety devices are in place and working properly.
• The device should only be operated by a person who is capable of doing so.
• Mowing wet grass can be dangerous. Mow grass when it is as dry as possible.
• Instruct other persons or children to stay away from the mower.
• Never mow when visibility is poor.
• Pick up loose objects lying around, such as stones, toys, sticks and wires, etc., from the ground before mowing.

Hints for mowing correctly

△ Attention! Never open the discharge flap when the catcher is being emptied and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can lead to injuries.

Always secure the discharge flap and the catch basket carefully. Switch off the engine before removing.

The safety distance between the blade housing and the user given by the guide rails must always be maintained.

Special care must be taken when mowing and changing direction on embankments and slopes. Make sure you have a secure footing, wear shoes with non-slip, well gripping soles and long trousers. Always mow across slopes.

For safety reasons, slopes with an inclination of more than 15 degrees must not be mowed with the lawn mower.

Exercise particular caution when moving backwards and pulling the lawnmower. Risk of tripping!

Mulching

When mulching, the cuttings are shredded in the closed mower housing and then dispersed on the lawn. Grass collection and disposal is not required.

⚠️ NOTE! Mulching is only possible on relatively short lawns.

To use the mulching function, unhook the catcher bag (19) and push the mulching insert (fig.10-12 /pos. e) into the discharge opening and close the discharge flap (18).

Mowing

Mowing can be done either with the catcher box (19) fitted or alternatively with the side discharge fitted. To use the side discharge, the mulching insert (e) should be fitted.

Cut only with sharp, clean cutting blades so that the blades of grass do not fray and the lawn does not turn yellow.

To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawn-mower in the straightest possible paths.

These strips should always overlap by a few centimetres so that no patches remain.

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove any grass deposits. Deposits make the starting process more difficult, impair cutting quality and grass discharge. On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpendicular to the slope. It is possible to prevent the lawnmower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an angle. Set the cutting height depending on the actual length of the lawn. Carry out several passes so that a maximum of 4 cm of lawn is removed at a time.

Switch off the engine before carrying out any checks on the blade. Remember that the blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is switched off. Never try to stop the blade.

Regularly check that the blade is properly fastened, in good condition and sharpened. Sharpen or replace it if this is not the case. If the moving blade strikes an object, stop the lawnmower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the blade and the blade holder. If it is damaged, it must be replaced.

Locking lever (Fig. 25)

There are two adjustment options for the front wheel, which can be selected via the locking lever (4).

- If the locking lever (4) on the push bar (6) is in the position of the symbol the freewheel of the front wheel (15) is locked. The front wheel only runs straight ahead.

- If the locking lever (4) on the push bar (6) is in the position of the symbol the freewheel of the front wheel (15) is unlocked. The front wheel is movable.

Tips for mowing:

- Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over solid objects. The lawnmower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.

- A hot engine, exhaust pipe or drive unit can burn the skin. Thus, do not touch these parts.

- Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.

- Only mow when there is sufficient light.

- 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 off the spark plug connector.

- Pay special attention to traffic if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one. 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).

• In dense, tall grass, set the highest cutting level and mow more slowly. Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition cable.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.

Emptying the catch basket

As soon as grass residues are left lying behind on the ground during mowing, the catch basket must be emptied.

⚠ WARNING

Before removing the catch basket, stop the engine and wait for the cutting tool to come to a standstill.

To remove the catch basket (19), lift the discharge flap (18) with one hand and remove the catch basket (19) by the carrying handle with the other hand (Fig. 17). In accordance with the safety regulations, the discharge flap (18) closes when the catch basket is unhooked and closes the rear ejection opening. If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to pull the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to start the engine.

Do not remove cuttings in the mower housing and on the working tool by hand or with your feet, but with suitable aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.

To ensure good collection, the catch basket (19) and in particular the air grille must be cleaned from the inside after use.

Only hook in the catch basket (19) when the engine is switched off and the cutting tool is stationary.

Lift the discharge flap (18) with one hand and hold the catch basket (19) by the handle with the other hand and hook it in from above. (Fig. 9)

After mowing

• Always allow the motor to cool off before parking the lawnmower in an enclosed room. Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before storage. Do not store other objects on the mower.
• Check all screws and nuts before the next use. Tighten all loose screws.
• Empty the catch basket (19) before the next use.
• Remove the spark plug connector to prevent unauthorised use.
• Make sure that the mower is not parked next to a source of danger. Escaping gas can cause explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on guarantee certificate).
• In case of longer idle periods of the mower, empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine

10. 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 petrol extraction 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.

Clean the device with water as follows. (Fig. 1)

• Remove the mulch insert / take off the grass bag.
• Place the hose connector (w) on the mower and open the water tap. (Fig. 1)
• Start the mower and switch off after approx. 30 sec. The rotating blade bar dashes the water against the underside of the mower and in doing so cleans it.
• Close the water tap and disconnect the hose-connection piece.
• Clean the top side with a cloth (do not use sharp objects).

11. Transport

Preparing the lawnmower for transport (Fig. 23)

• Empty the fuel tank with a petrol extraction pump.
• Always let the engine run until it has used up the remainder of petrol in the tank.
- Drain the motor oil of the warm motor.
- Remove the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
- Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
- Remove the pull cable starter (5) from the hook. Release the quick-release levers (7) and fold down the upper push bar (6). Make sure that the cables are not bent during this process.

Never perform any work on the machine while it is running. Any work not described in this operating manual must be performed by an authorised 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, only have your mowing blade sharpened, balanced and fitted by an authorised specialist workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.

Change the blade (Fig. 18)

When changing the cutting tool, only use original replacement parts.

Wear gloves to avoid cut injuries while changing the blade.

Never install another blade.

• Empty the fuel tank before removing the blade.
- Undo the screw to replace the blade.
- Install everything as described in Fig. 18. Fasten the screw correctly. The fastening torque is 45Nm . Also replace the blade screw when replacing the blade.

Damaged blades

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

Tip the lawnmower onto its side and check the blade for damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced. 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 mower.

⚠ Attention! 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 authorised service workshop.

Oil level check

⚠ Attention! Never run the engine with no or too little oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine. Only use SAE30 / 10W-30 / 10W-40 engine oil.

Check the oil level (Fig. 19):

• Position the lawnmower on a straight, level surface.
• Remove the oil dipstick (12) by turning it to the left, then wipe off the dipstick. Insert the dipstick back in the filling nozzle as far as the stop, but do not screw it back in.
• Pull out the dipstick and read the oil level horizontally. The oil level must be positioned between the max and min of the oil dipstick (12).

Oil change (Fig. 24)

• The engine oil change should be completed annually before the start of the season while the engine is at operating temperature and shut off.
• Only use engine oil (SAE30 / 10W-30 / 10W-40).
• Empty the fuel tank (with a petrol extraction pump).
• Place a flat oil collecting tray in front of the mower (min. volume 1 litre).
• Remove the oil dipstick and tip over the mower until all of the oil has drained into the oil collecting tray.
• Then fill in fresh engine oil up to the upper mark of the oil dipstick (approx. 0.4 l), do not overfill the device.
• Attention! To check the oil level, do not screw in the oil dipstick, but only insert it up to the thread.
  Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.

Cleaning the belts (Fig. 20)

• Remove the blade and the transmission housing by undoing the screws.
• Clean the elements of the transmission and the V-belt once or twice a year with a brush or compressed air.

- Refit the transmission housing and the blade using the screws.

Maintaining and adjusting the cables

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

Air filter maintenance (Fig. 21)

Contaminated air filters (10) diminish the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air filter should be checked every 25 operating hours and cleaned as required. The air filter must be checked more often in case of very dusty air.

Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element. Replace the air filter to avoid objects falling into the air intake (fig. 21).

Attention: Never clean the air filter with petrol or combustible solvents. Clean the air filter with compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.

Spark plug maintenance (Fig. 22)

Check the spark plug for contamination for the first time after 10 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if necessary. Then service the spark plug every 50 operating hours.

Remove the spark plug connector with a twist. Remove the spark plug (h) with a spark plug wrench.

Use a feeler gauge to set the gap to 0.75 mm(0.030"). Refit the spark plug (h), taking care not to over-tighten it.

Engine brake lever (fig. 1)

The motor is equipped with a mechanical brake that must be checked regularly. When the brake lever (3) is released, the blade must come to a standstill within 7 seconds; if this is not the case, the appliance must not be used. Contact an authorised specialist dealer. Ensure that the device is in perfect condition for the entire duration of its service life.

Improper maintenance may lead to life-threatening injuries.
