One flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
•
One 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
•
One petrol can
•
One funnel (suitable for the tank's petrol filler

Engine oil
Assembly
1. Fit the lower and upper push bar (Item. 3) as
shown in Fig. 3a-3b. 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.
2. Insert the grip of the starter cable (Item 9a)
into the hook provided for that purpose as
shown in Fig. 3c.
3. Fasten the actuator cables to the push bar

•
Actuate the adjustor lever and pull it to the

6. Operation
Note!
The engine comes without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol befo-
re starting the engine.
1. Check the oil level (see 7.2.1).
2. Use a funnel and measuring jug to fi ll the tank
with petrol. Make sure that the petrol is clean.
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.
3. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to
the spark plug.
Carrying out a safety test on the engine start/
stop lever
The lawn mower comes equipped with an engi-
ne start/stop lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1a) in order to
prevent it from starting up unintentionally and to
ensure that the engine and blade stop quickly in
case of danger. The lever must be actuated (Fig.
5b) before the lawn mower is started. When the
engine start/stop lever is released, it must return
to its initial position (Fig. 5a).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this process several times in order to ensure that
the lever and actuator cables are working pro-
perly.
Repeat the test several times after the engine
has started up. When the engine start/stop lever
