Assembly
1. Fasten the push bar (Fig. 3a/Item 2) using one
screw (Fig. 3a/Item 9) and one star nut (Fig.
3a/Item 8) on each side. For fastening choose
one of the holes to suit the required height of the
push bar. Important. The identical height must be
set on both sides. Ensure that the cords which
are fastened later are not in the way.
2. Unfold the push bar and fix it into place by
tightening the star screws (Fig. 3b/Item 8) as
shown in Figure 3b.
3. Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/Item 6)
into the hook provided for that purpose as shown
in Figure 3c.
4. Fasten the cords to the push bar with the supplied
cable clips (Fig. 3d/Item 7).
5. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 4a) with one
hand and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 3) as
shown in Figure 4.

6.2 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
n
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
n
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 6/Item 5). Different cutting heights can be
selected.
Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
n
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position.

7. Using the petrol lawn mower
Important.
The engine is supplied without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol before
starting the engine.
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 engine start/stop
lever is released it must return to its initial position, at
which point the engine automatically switches off.
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. 5a/Item 1a): Use the engine
start/stop lever to switch off the engine. When you
release the engine start/stop lever, the engine
and blade will automatically stop. To mow, hold
the lever in the working position (Fig. 5b). 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).
2. Drive lever/clutch lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1b): If you
press this (Fig. 5c) the clutch for the drive will be
closed and the lawnmower will start to move with
the engine 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. Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine, move the
engine 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. Use a funnel and measuring vessel to fill the tank
with petrol. Make sure that the petrol is clean.
