NOTE!
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently. The liq-
uid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water pollution.
- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
- Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
- Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
- Immediately wipe up any spilled oil carefully and dispose it
according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If incorrectly stored or undrained fuel is used, the carburettor
may become clogged or engine operation may be affected.
- Put unused fuel in an airtight vessel and store it in a dark,
cool room.
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – - the tank should be at least half-full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all screws,
nuts and bolts are tightened.
10.1 Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 6)
m Attention!
The device is delivered without engine oil. There-
fore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up.
Use multigrade oil (10W-30 or 10W-40 (depend-
ing on the operating temperature)) for this.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil lev-
el that is too low can damage the engine.
1.
Place the device on a level, even surface.
2.
Unscrew the oil dipstick (8).
3.
Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (not included
in scope of delivery). Note the max. filling capacity of
600 ml. Carefully fill the oil up to the lower edge of the
filler neck.
4.
Wipe the oil dipstick (8) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
5.
Re-insert the oil dipstick (8) and check the oil level without
screwing the dipstick tight again.
6.
The oil level must be within the middle mark on the oil
dipstick.
7.
If the oil level is too low, add the recommended amount
of oil (max. 600 ml).
8.
Then screw the oil dipstick (8) in again.
10.2 Filling up with petrol (Fig. 7 + 13)
m Attention!
The device is delivered without petrol. It is there-
fore essential to fill with petrol before commis-
sioning. Use Super E10 petrol for this.
1.
Clean the area surrounding the filling area. Impurities in
the tank lead to operational faults.
2.
Carefully open the tank cover (6b) so that any possible
overpressure can be relieved.
3.
Fill the fuel tank (6) with petrol (Super E10) using a fun-
nel (not included in scope of delivery). Note the max.
filling capacity of 3.6 litres. Carefully fill the petrol up to
the lower edge of the filler neck.
4.
Close the tank cover (6b) again. Ensure that the tank cap
is tightly sealed.
5.
Clean the tank cover (6b) and the surroundings.
6.
Check the fuel tank (6) and fuel lines for leaks.
7.
Move at least three meters away from the refuelling area
before starting the engine.
• Do not use petrol that has already been used or that is
contaminated. Do not allow dirt or water to enter the fuel
tank (6).
11. Start up
11.1 Setting the scarifying depth (Fig. 8)
m DANGER
Risk of damage!
To set the working position, the device must be switched off.
The working position is set using the depth adjustment (12). To
do this, gently pull the depth adjustment (12) away to the right,
bring it to the desired position and let it latch.
The correct working position depends on the condition of the
lawn and the wear of the blade. An incorrectly selected work-
ing position can result in the engine overloading and damage
to the roller.
In this case, turn the grating disc back to the lower working
position.
Positions on the grating disc:
+1 = Movement or transport position +5 mm
0 = 0 mm
-1 = working position -2.5 mm
-2 = working position -5 mm
-3 = working position -7.5 mm
-4 = working position -10 mm
-5 = working position -12.5 mm
-6 = working position -15 mm
11.2 Starting the engine (Fig. 1)
The device is equipped with a safety switch bar (2) which
stops the device when released.
m Attention: When releasing the safety switch bar (2), it
must return to the starting position and cause the engine to
stop. If this is not the case, the device must not be used.
Choke lever (15) (Fig. 9)
• Warm engine / choke closed:
• Cold engine / choke open:
Note: The closed position of the choke lever enriches the fuel
mixture for starting a cold engine.
The open position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal
operation after starting and for restarting a warm engine.
