Emptying the grass collector (Illustration L )
–
Switch off engine.
–
Lift ejection flap.
–
Unhinge the full grass collector from the mower at the carrying strap – the ejection
flap closes automatically.
–
Empty the collector thoroughly whilst holding it by the carrying strap
and the moulded handle on the bottom.
Operation without grass collector
WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower
housing must always be closed (flap down).
15 MOWING
Mowing on slopes
NOTE
The mower can be used on banks and slopes with a gradient of up to 46%
(25° angle). Any steeper slopes can lead to engine damage.
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not exploit
this theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm
stance. Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes
with a gradient in excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be
lost!
Checking the oil level
Check oil level each time prior to mowing Y1 . Never let the engine to run with
too little or too much oil. Irreparable damages could occur.
Checking operating safety
The lawnmower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before every mowing job, make sure that the motor stop safety control bar is
working perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter bar
must come to a standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the
"component description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the engine has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can
be heard. The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise
after the engine has been stopped, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
The perfect function of the motor drive control bar must be checked before
every mowing job too. When the motor drive control bar is released, the
machine must come to a standstill immediately. If this is not the case, it must be
checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly
and are not damaged.
To avoid risk, check the condition and firm attachment of the blade before
every mowing job. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by
an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade
coupling and cutter bar can become damaged or loose which can lead to
serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must always be replaced. (Refer
here to the chapter "Cutter blade care").
In addition, check the fan, blade coupling and fan housing every 10 operating
hours for wear and a tight fit. Also check equipment screws and nuts for a firm
fit and tighten if necessary.
Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Danger: Electric shock.
Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Danger:
Electric shock! Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has
cooled down. Danger of burns!
Safety instruction!

If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an
authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed.
Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please
have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Time restrictions
In Germany, the set hours for operating lawnmowers are regulated in the "32nd
Ordinance implementing the Federal Emissions Protection Act (32nd BImSch-V)".
In addition, there may be regional restrictions (e.g. to protect midday peace), which can be issued
by the respective local authority.
Tips on caring for your lawn
Mowing (Illustration M )
WARNING
Remove any objects (stones, wood, branches, etc.) from the lawn before each cut; but
still watch out for objects lying around during the mowing process. Ask your dealer
about lawn care instructions. Information and instructions about mowing can also be found
on the manufacturer website.
Mulching
Your lawn mower can also be equipped with a mulching kit. The respective conversion kit to a
mulching system is available as an accessory from professional dealerships (see genuine
spare parts and accessories for the conversion kit order no.).
The mulching kit also includes tips and information about mulching. You will also find information
about mulching on the manufacturer website.
WARNING
Always have an authorised workshop carry out the conversion of the mower to a
mulching system. A wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling or a blade screw that is
tightened too tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bars to become loose and
cause severe injuries.
If the grass should happen to be too high for mulching, the mulching mower can be converted for
mowing with a grass collecting bag in no time.
Converting the machine to rear ejection (Illustration U2 + S1 )
–
Stop the engine.
–
Lift the ejection flap.
–
Remove the mulching plug from the channel U2 .
–
Hook the grass collecting bag in the bracket provided on the mower housing S1 . The
mulching blade system does not have to be converted! The capacity of the collecting bag can
be reduced under difficult mowing conditions (e.g. wet grass).
For the equipment to be used as a mulching machine again, the mulching plug must be installed
again. To do this, remove the grass collecting bag, insert the mulching plug into the ejector
channel and close the ejector flap.
Clean the ejector channel first.
16 SERVICE INTERVALS
IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Under extreme or unusual conditions, shorter servicing intervals than the
ones specified below may be necessary. If you establish any problems, please contact an
authorised workshop.
Carry out routine servicing on the machine in line with the following servicing intervals. Work must
be carried out at the following servicing intervals in addition to the maintenance work listed in
these operating instructions.
Before initial use
•
Check the oil level Y1 .
•
Check all screw connections for a tight fit.
•
Check the cutting blade screw and have an authorised workshop tighten it if
necessary.
•
Check whether the safety control bar for the engine brake is working perfectly.
•
Check whether the drive control bar is working properly (depending on the model).
•
Check that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
Before every operation
•
Check the lawn area and remove any objects.
•
Check the area of the boundary wires (if an automatic mower is being used for lawn
care).
•
Check the oil level Y1 .
•
Check the condition and firm fit of the blade, if necessary have an authorised
workshop tighten the blade screw.
