Opening out the handle (Illustration A1 + E1 + B1 + O4 )

IMPORTANT
Make sure the throttle cables are not kinked or jammed when lifting the
handlebars.
NOTE
Before the handlebars are raised, the cutting height must be set to position 3 (40 mm)
or higher I . The handlebar cannot be pivoted backwards completely in the two lower
cutting positions.
– Pull the folded-up Z-shaped guide spar apart and upward A1 .
– When upper and lower handle are aligned tighten the two wing-nuts by hand E1 .
– Push both ends of the bottom part of the handle with the toothed plastic adapters
backwards until they click into the toothed recess on the mower housing B1 .
In this way, three different handle heights can be set.
– Tighten the two wing-nuts on both sides by hand B1 .
– Insert the cable on the left hand side into the cable guide. This is to prevent the
cable from being trapped when folding the handle E1 .
– Attach the Bowden cable to the bottom section of the guide spar with the aid of
cable tie from the tool bag O4 .
CAUTION
When you activate the bar height adjustment, when loosening the wing nuts
B1 used to secure the bar bottom to the housing (only loosen sufficiently to
ensure that the bar can be moved freely) and snapping the toothed plastic
adaptations from the cut-out on the housing, it is possible that unintentional
upsetting of the bar may occur. In addition, this may result in crushed points
between the bar bottom and the housing. This may result in a risk of injury!

Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )

– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the nut until the two halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable
holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Push the motor stop safety control bar (3) onto the top part of the bar (4) and hold
it tight, pull the starter cable (5) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves (6) together, tighten the nut again. This prevents the starter
cable popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable
is freely accessible and does not rub against any other parts.
