and by replacing damaged or
worn parts.
Repairs must only be carried out
by the service centres authorised
by the manufacturer or autho-

housing.
If the cutting height setting is
higher, the swivelling hood can
lift up due to the improved air
intake (Duo-Air-Management) of
the lawnmower. This effect does
not affect the function and safety
of the lawnmower. The swivel-
ling hood can be mechanically
locked in palace with the catch
lever (fig. F, pos. 14).
Warning! Before removing

the collecting box, switch
the engine off and wait until the
cutting tool comes to a halt.

hands or feet to remove
grass cuttings from the mower
housing. Use a suitable imple-
ment such as a broom or dust-
pan brush.
Mowing without the
Grass Catcher
Due to the high rear discharge
area, the cut grass is evenly
deposited on the lawn when
mowing without a grass box.
The filling level indicator does
not have a function when
mowing without a collecting
box.
Exchanging the Blade
Please only use original replace-
ments blades supplied by the
manufacturer. Original replace-
ment blades are available from
your specialist dealer.
Never use replacement parts or
accessories not supplied by the
manufacturer.
If the cutter bar is damaged, it
must be replaced due to the
associated problems with imbal-
ance. For safety reasons, the cut-
ter bar must only be replaced at
the service centres approved by
the manufacturer or by specialist
dealers.
