basket carry-handle. Remove the basket (Fig. 4a).
For safety reasons, the chute fl ap automatically
falls down after removing the grass basket and
closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass
remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart
the engine if you pull the mower back approxi-
mately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
bag and especially the air grill must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute fl ap, while grab-
bing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang
in the basket from the top.
6.5 After mowing
1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the
lawn mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects
on top of the mower.
3. Before using the mower again, retighten all
nuts and screws. Tighten all screws which
were slackened.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Disconnect the spark plug boot to prevent
unauthorized use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next
to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can
lead to explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see
address on the warranty certifi cate).
8. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction
pump if you are not intending to use the mo-
wer for an extended period of time.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is
not a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the equipment.
12. How to switch off the engine:
All you have to do to switch off the engi-
ne is release the engine start/stop lever
(Fig. 5a/Item 1a). Pull the ignition cable from

the spark plug boot in order to prevent the
engine from restarting. Before you start the
engine again, check the cord for the engine
brake. Check that the cord is correctly fi tted.
If the cord is kinked or damaged, it should be
replaced.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Important:
Never work on or touch any current-conducting
parts of the ignition system while the engine is
running. Pull the spark plug boot from the spark
boot before doing any maintenance or assembly
work. Never carry out any work on the equipment
while the engine is running. Work that is not de-
scribed in these operating instructions, should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
7.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This particularly
applies to its underside and the blade mount. For
this purpose, tilt the lawn mower onto its left side
(opposite the oil-fi ller neck).
Note: Before placing the lawn mower on its side,
fully drain the fuel tank using a petrol extraction
pump. Do not tilt the lawn mower by more then
90 degrees. It is easiest to remove dirt and grass
immediately after mowing. Dried grass remnants
and dirt may impair the mowing operation. Check
if the grass ejector chute is free of grass remnants
and remove any if necessary. Never clean the mo-
wer using a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner.
Ensure that no water can get into the interior of
the equipment. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents such as cold cleaners or petroleum ether.
7.2 Servicing
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Important: Dispose of soiled maintenance mate-
rial and media at the appropriate collection point
