2. Drive lever (clutch lever) (Fig. 1/Item 1): If you
press this (Fig. 12/Item B) the clutch for the drive
will be closed and the lawnmower will start to
move with the motor running.
Release the drive lever in good time to stop the
moving lawnmower. Practice starting and
stopping before you use the mower for the first
time until you are familiar with controlling the
mower.
3. 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.
4. Check the oil level.
5. Fill the tank with approx. 0.75 liters of petrol
whenever empty, using a funnel and measuring
jug to do so. Ensure that the petrol is free of any
contaminants.
Note: Use only unleaded petrol as fuel.
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.
6. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to
the spark plug.
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.
1/Item 4). To do this pull the handle 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 starter cord to snap
back.

Note: In cold weather, it may be necessary to
repeat the starting process several times.
6.1 Before mowing
Important information
1. Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or
damaged in any other way must be immediately
exchanged for a genuine replacement
blade.
3. Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out
in the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring
jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4. Read and follow in the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equipment.
Store the manual in a place where it can be
readily accessed by other users of the machine.
5. Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine
out in the open.
6. Make sure that all the guards are fitted and
that they are in good working order.
7. The machine should only be operated by
persons who are well informed with the way it
works, and who are in reasonably good physical
condition.
8. It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it
is wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass
when it is dry.
9. Advise children and others to keep well away
from the lawn mower.
10. Never mow the grass in poor visibility.
11. Remove all loose objects from the lawn
before you start mowing the grass.
