6.3 Switching off the engine
All you have to do to switch off the engine is
release the engine start/stop lever (Fig. 5a/
Item 1a). Pull off the spark plug connector from
the spark plug in order to prevent the engine from
starting. Before you start the engine again, check
the cable of the engine brake. Check that the
actuator cable is correctly fi tted. If the switch-off
cable is kinked or damaged, it must be replaced.
6.4 Emptying the debris bag
When the debris bag is full, the air throughput will
be low and the level indicator (4b) will be up close
against the debris bag (Fig. 13). Empty the debris
bag and clear out the ejector chute.
Danger! Before taking off the debris bag,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade
has come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket carry-handle. Remove the basket (Fig. 4a).
For safety reasons, the chute fl ap automatically
falls down after removing the grass basket and
closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass
remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart
the engine if you pull the mower back approxi-
mately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
bag and especially the air grill must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute fl ap, while grab-
bing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang
in the basket from the top.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Danger!
Never work on or touch any current-conducting
parts of the ignition system while the engine is
running. Pull the spark plug boot from the spark
boot before doing any maintenance or assembly
work. Never carry out any work on the equipment
while the engine is running. Work that is not de-
scribed in these operating instructions, should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
7.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies in
particular to its underside and the blade mount.
Tilt the lawn mower to the rear by pressing down
the push bar.
Note: Before tilting the lawn mower, use a petrol
extraction pump to drain all the fuel out of the
fuel tank. Do not tilt the lawn mower by more
than 90 degrees. It is easiest to remove dirt and
grass immediately after mowing. Dried grass
remnants and dirt may impair the mowing ope-
ration. Check whether the grass ejector chute is
free of grass residues and clear out as required.
Never clean the lawn mower using a water jet or a
high-pressure cleaner. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners
or petroleum ether.
7.2 Maintenance
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Note: Dispose of soiled maintenance material
and operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.

7.2.1 Petrol engine

Note! Never run the engine with no or too little oil.
This can cause serious damage to the engine.
Checking the oil level
Place the lawn mower so that it stands level. Un-
screw the oil dipstick (Fig. 9a/Item 7a) by turning
it counter-clockwise and wipe the dipstick. Re-
insert the dipstick into the fi ller opening as far as it
will go but do not screw it in. Pull out the dipstick,
hold it horizontally and read off the oil level. The
