5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
The lawn mower is delivered unassembled. The
push bar and the grass basket must be assem-
bled before using the lawn mower. Follow the
operating instructions step-by-step and use the
pictures provided as a visual guide to easily as-
semble the equipment.
Fitting the push bar (Fig. 3a to 3d)
Take a bottom push bar (Fig. 2/Item 2) fasten it
with the nut (Fig. 2/Item 21) as shown in Fig. 3a.
Proceed in the same way on the other side.
When you fi t the top push bar you can decide the
height of the push bar by selecting the appropri-
ate fastening hole (Fig. 3b). Fasten the top push
bar using either the holes L for a low position or H
for a high position. Screw the top push bar to the
bottom push bar as shown in Fig. 3c. Then attach
the power cable to the push bar (Fig. 3d/Item A)
using the cable clips (Fig. 2/Item 13).
Mounting the grass basket (Fig. 4a to 4d)
Plug the bottom and the top part of the grass box
together (Fig. 4a/Item 14, 15). Ensure that all the
plastic lugs engage correctly. Next push the grass
box handle (Fig. 4b/Item 16) into the openings on
the grass box. Check that the handle is secure
and correctly positioned.
Then press the insert (Fig. 2/Item 17) into the
grass basket as shown in Fig. 4c. Before you fi t
the grass basket you must ensure that the motor
is switched off and the blade is not rotating. The
grass box must be attached to the two hooks on
the mower (Fig. 4d). To do this, open the ejector
fl ap with one hand (Fig. 4d/Item 4) and attach the

GB
grass box with the other hand. The ejector fl ap is
held against the grass box by a spring.
Filling level indicator of the grass collector
The grass collector is equipped with a fi lling level
indicator (Fig. 2/Item 18). which is opened by the
airfl ow that the lawn mower generates during ope-
ration. If the fl ap closes during mowing, the grass
collecting device is full and must be emptied. To
ensure the proper functioning of the fi lling level
indicator, the holes under the fl ap must always be
kept clean and passable.
Adjusting the cutting height
Caution!
Adjust the cutting height only when the machine
has been switched off and the power cable has
been disconnected.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners
are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace
blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry out this
check, fi rst switch off the motor and pull out the
power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as follows (see Fig.
5):
1. Push the lever (6) outwards.
2 Set the lever (6) to the desired cutting height.
3. Release the lever (6) and check that it is se-
curely seated in the lock.
Reading off the cutting height
The cutting height can be set between 20-60 mm
in 5 intervals, and can be read off on the scale
(Fig. 5/B).
Power supply
The lawn mower can be connected to any socket
outlet with a 220-240 Volt alternating current.
However, the socket outlet must have an earthing
contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Addi-
tionally, a residual current device (RCD) circuit-
breaker with max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not dama-
ged. The total length of the power cable should
not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance
will reduce the power output of the electric motor.
The power cable must have a cross-section of 3
x 1.5 mm. The insulating sheath of lawn aerator
power cables is frequently damaged.
