• Never mow more than 1/3 of the length of the grass. This
especially applies during dry periods. Mow first with the
cutting height set high. Then check the result and lower to
an appropriate height. If the grass is really long, drive
slowly and mow twice if necessary.

always walk with the lawn mower.
Cutting height
Shut down the engine before changing the cutting height.

then backward.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Never use a machine that has
!
faulty safety equipment! Carry out the
inspection, maintenance and service
routines listed in this section.

Cutting cover and protective cover

The cutting cover is designed to reduce vibration and to
reduce the risk of cuts. Make sure the cutting cover is not
damaged and that there are no visible defects such as cracks.
The protective cover is designed to reduce the risk of crush
injuries and to catch a broken drive belt. Check that the
protective cover is undamaged and that it is properly secured.

Engine brake handle

The engine brake is designed to stop the engine. When the
grip on the engine brake handle is released the engine should
stop.
Check the engine brake as follows:
Apply full throttle and then release the brake handle. The
engine should stop and the drive should disengage.
The engine brake should always be adjusted so that the
engine stops within 3 seconds.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.
The handlebar system's steel tube and the cutting cover are
designed to minimise the vibrations from the engine.
The machine's vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine's handle unit.
WB48S e och WB53S e This model also has 4 vibration
dampers fitted on the handlebar unit to further reduce
vibrations.
Check that the handles and vibration damping elements are
not damaged.
