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.
Mounting the push bar (Fig. 3 to 7).
First take the spring (Fig. 2/Item 23) and the hand-
lebar mount (Fig. 2/Item 22) and mount them on
the relevant axle (Fig. 3). Take a push bar bracket
(Fig. 2 Item 2) and fasten it as shown in Fig. 4. The
top push bar (Fig. 1/Item 1) must be pushed onto
the push bar brackets (Fig. 2/Item 2) and secured
as shown above in Fig. 6. Then attach the power
cable to the push bar (Fig. 7/Item A) using the
cable clips (Fig. 2/Item 13). Now you can select
the push bar height in 3 stages from 80 to 103.5
cm (Fig. 5/Item A).
Caution!
The handle height may be adjusted only within
the marked range.
•
Push the top push bar with the quick clam-
ping function (Fig. 5/Item B) firmly in the desi-
red position.
Caution!
Always set the identical handle height on both
sides.
•
Use the cable clips to align the cable to the
push bar (Fig. 7/Item A).

Mounting the grass basket (Figs. 8a to 8c)
First plug the lower part of the housing (Fig. 2/
Item 14) and the right part of the housing (Fig. 2/
Item 16) together as shown in Fig. 8a. Then plug
the top part of the housing (Fig. 2/Item 15) onto
the previously assembled parts (Fig. 8b).Before
you fi t the grass basket you must ensure that the
motor is switched off and the blade is not rotating.
Lift the ejector fl ap (Fig. 8c/Item 4) with one hand.
With the other hand, hold the grass basket by the
handle and hook it in from above (Fig. 8c).
Filling level indicator of the grass collector
The grass collector is equipped with a fi lling level
indicator (Fig. 2/Item 17). 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.
Using the mulching adapter (Fig. 9)
In mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread
back onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather
and dispose of the grass.
Important: Mulching is only possible if the lawn is
relatively short.
Caution!
Fit the mulching adapter only when the machine
is switched off and the power plug has been
pulled out.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the
grass box, slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 9/Item
19) into the ejector opening and close the ejector
fl ap.
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.
