machine could inflict bodily injury.
2. 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!
3. Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and
steep grades.
4. Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of
artificial light is one reason not to mow.
5. Check the mower, the blade and other parts if
they have struck a foreign object or if the
machine vibrates more than usual.
6. Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the
engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
7. 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.
8. 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).
9. 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.
10. Never remove any safety-related parts.
11. Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or
is running.

6.4 Emptying the grass basket

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important! 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, use one hand to lift up
the chute flap and the other to grab onto the basket
handle (Fig. 4). Remove the basket.
For safety reasons, the chute flap 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 catch bag and
especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use.

Reattach the catch bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top.

6.5 After mowing

1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on
top of the mower.
3. Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten
any loose screws.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs
(see address on the warranty certificate).
8. If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not
a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the machine.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare parts
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance
information and maintenance interval
information on the engine.
Important:
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.
