of the packaging and check that all parts are
present (Fig. 2-3).
2. Attach the lower push bar (Fig. 4/Item 15) to
the mower housing using the screws (Fig. 4/Item
16/17) and the nuts (Fig. 4/Item 18/19). Do not
forget to mount the starter cord guide (Fig. 5/

5.2 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
imbalance, 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. 1/Item 8). Up to
7 different cutting heights can be selected.
• Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position.
6. Operation
Important!
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, ensure that you add 0.6 liters of oil
before starting it up. Use normal, multigrade
oil (10W30). 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. 11/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.
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation 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.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 11/Item A): Use the lever to
stop the engine. When you release the lever the
engine and the blade stop automatically (Fig.
11/Pos. A). 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).
