Setting The Cutting Height; Operation - Hurricane HB 53 R HW E Manual De Instrucciones

Calculating the charging time:
The charging time depends on the charge status
of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged,
the approximate charging time can be calculated
using the following formula:
Charging time/h =
Battery capacity in Ah/Amp. (arithmetic charging
current)
Example = 4 Ah/0.4 A = 10 h max.
A high initial current, approximately equal to the
rated current will fl ow in a normally discharged
battery. As the charging time increases, the char-
ging current will fall.

5.6 Setting the cutting height

Important. Adjust the cutting height only
when the engine is switched off and the plug
boot has been pulled.
•
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 imba-
lance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades
as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this
check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
•
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with
the cutting height adjustor lever (Fig. 7/Item
8). Different cutting heights can be selected.
•
Actuate the cutting height adjustor lever and
pull it to the required position. Let the cutting
height adjustor lever click into position.

6. Operation

Important.
The engine is supplied without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol befo-
re starting the engine.
The battery is not connected when you take deli-
very of the machine. Please connect the battery
as described in section 5.2 before you use the
machine for the fi rst time.
If the machine has not been used for some time,
charge the battery fully (section 5.5) before using
it again.

In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1a) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engi-
ne start/stop lever is released, it must return to its
initial position, at which point the engine automati-
cally switches off .
Starting up with the electric starter
Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug. Activate the fuel pump (primer) three
times (Fig.6/Item 2).
Warm start:
Once the engine is running, it is not necessary to
activate the fuel pump (primer).
Stand behind the mower. Use one hand to pull
back and hold the engine start/stop lever (Fig.
5b). Start the engine by turning the ignition key in
the ignition lock (Fig. 1/Item 22). Once the engine
has started, turn the ignition key immediately
back to its initial position. If you actuate the igniti-
on key again while the engine is running, you will
damage the starting system.
Starting up with the reversing starter
Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug. Activate the fuel pump (primer) three
times (Fig. 6/Item 2).
Warm start:
Once the engine is running, it is not necessary to
activate the fuel pump (primer).
Stand behind the mower. Use one hand to pull
back and hold the engine start/stop lever (Fig.
5b). Start up the engine with the reversing starter
(Fig. 1/Item 9). To do this, pull the handle out
approx. 10 – 15 cm (until you feel resistance) and
then start the engine with a sharp pull. If the engi-
ne 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. Befo-
re you start mowing, you should run through this
process several times in order to ensure that the
machine is working properly. Whenever you need
to perform any kind of adjustment and/or repair
work 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.
