1. Use a screwdriver to remove the wheel caps
(Fig. 22).
2. Use the supplied spark plug wrench to remove
the wheels (Fig. 20/Item 13).
3. The cutting height is not adjusted at a single
central point – instead, each of the 4 wheels
must be adjusted separately. Decide which of the
3 cutting heights you want to use (Fig. 18)
Position 1: Low cutting height
Position 2: Medium cutting height (suitable for
normal use)
Position 3: High cutting height
Important: All 4 wheels have to be set to the same
cutting height.
4. Fit the wheels (Pos. 15) as shown in Fig. 19-20
using the supplied spark plug wrench (Item 13).
Important: To fasten the wheels on the right-hand
side you must use screws with a right-hand thread
(Item 22). For the left-hand side you must use
screws with a left-hand thread (Item 23).
5. Fitting the wheel caps (Fig. 21/ Item 16)
6. Operation
Important!
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, ensure that you add 0.4 liters of oil
before starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil
(15W40). The oil level in the engine must be
checked each time before mowing. (see
Checking the oil level).
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 12/Item A) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 14/Pos. 1)
together and give the starter cord a vigorous pull.
Before you start the lawn mower, pull the engine
brake lever (Fig.14/Item 1) and tug vigorously on the
starter cable.
Before you start mowing, you should run through this
process several times in order to ensure that
everything is working properly. Whenever you need
to perform any kind of adjustment and/or repair work
24
on your lawn mower, wait until the blade has come to
a complete stop.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out any
adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 14/Item 1): Use the lever to
stop the engine. When you release the lever the
engine and the blade stop automatically (Fig.
14/Pos. 1). To mow, hold the lever in the working
position. Before you start to mow, check the
start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is
working properly. Ensure that the tension cable
can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or
kinking in any way).
2. Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
Important:
Before you start the engine, move the motor
brake several times to be sure that the stop
cable is properly working. Note: The engine is
factory set to a speed that is optimal for cutting
and blowing grass into the basket and is
designed to provide many years of use.
3. Check the oil level.
4. Fill the tank with approx. 0.7 liters of petrol
whenever empty, using a funnel and measuring
jug to do so. Ensure that the petrol is free of any
contaminants.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool
down for a few minutes.
5. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
6. Press the fuel pump primer (Fig. 13/Item 2) three
times.
7. Stand behind the mower. Place one hand on the
engine start/stop lever. Place the other hand on
the starter handle.
8. Start the engine using the reversing starter (Fig.
15/Item 11). To do this pull the handle out approx.
10 – 15 cm (until you feel a resistance) and then
start the engine with a sharp pull. If the engine
does not start, pull the handle again.
Important! Never allow the cable to snap back.
Important: In cold weather, it may be necessary
to repeat the starting process several times.
