Turbo signal (shows when the grass collector is full)
(Illustration J + K )
There is an indicator on the top of the collector that shows whether the collector is
empty or full:
–
The collector indicator inflates if the collector is empty and during the mowing J .
–
If the collector is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop mowing
immediately and empty the collector K .
IMPORTANT
If the fabric of the grass collector is very dirty the turbo indicator will not inflate –
in this case, clean the fabric immediately. The grass collector will only collect
grass perfectly if it is permeable to air.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!
Emptying the grass collector (Illustration L )
–
Switch off engine.
–
Lift ejection flap.
–
Unhinge the full grass collector from the mower at the carrying strap – the ejection
flap closes automatically.
–
Empty the collector thoroughly whilst holding it by the carrying strap and on the
bottom.
Operation without grass collector
WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower housing
must always be closed (flap down).
14 MOWING
Mowing on slopes
NOTE
The mower can be used on banks and slopes with a gradient of up to 46% (25°
angle). Any steeper slopes can lead to engine damage.
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not exploit this
theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance.
Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in
excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost!
Checking the oil level
Check oil level each time prior to mowing Y1 . Never let the engine to run with too little
or too much oil. Irreparable damages could occur.
Checking operating safety
The lawnmower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before every mowing job, make sure that the motor stop safety control bar is working
perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter bar must come to a
standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the engine has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can be heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise after the engine has
been stopped, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
To avoid risk, check the condition and firm attachment of the blade before every
mowing job. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised
workshop. If the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar
can become damaged or loose which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged
blade must always be replaced. (Refer here to the chapter "Cutter blade care").
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
In addition, check the fan, blade coupling and fan housing every 10 operating hours for
wear and a tight fit. Also check equipment screws and nuts for a firm fit and tighten if
necessary.
Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Danger: Electric shock. Never
remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Danger: Electric shock!
Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has cooled down. Danger of
burns!
If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an
authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed.
Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please
have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Time restrictions
In Germany, the set hours for operating lawnmowers are regulated in the "32nd
Ordinance implementing the Federal Emissions Protection Act (32nd BImSch-V)".
In addition, there may be regional restrictions (e.g. to protect midday peace), which can
be issued by the respective local authority.
Tips on caring for your lawn
Mowing (Illustration M )
WARNING
Remove any objects (stones, wood, branches, etc.) from the lawn before each
cut; but still watch out for objects lying around during the mowing process.
Ask your dealer about lawn care instructions. Information and instructions about
mowing can also be found on the manufacturer website.
Mulching
Your lawn mower can also be equipped with a mulching kit. The respective conversion
kit to a mulching system is available as an accessory from professional dealerships
(see genuine spare parts and accessories for the conversion kit order no.).
The mulching kit also includes tips and information about mulching. You will also find
information about mulching on the manufacturer website.
WARNING
Always have an authorised workshop carry out the conversion of the mower to a
mulching system. A wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling or a blade screw
that is tightened too tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bars to
become loose and cause severe injuries.
If the grass should happen to be too high for mulching, the mulching mower can be
converted for mowing with a grass collecting bag in no time.
Converting the machine to rear ejection (Illustration U2 + S1 )
–
Stop the engine.
–
Lift the ejection flap.
–
Remove the mulching plug from the channel U2 .
–
Hook the grass collecting bag in the bracket provided on the mower housing S1 .
The mulching blade system does not have to be converted! The capacity of the
collecting bag can be reduced under difficult mowing conditions (e.g. wet grass).
For the equipment to be used as a mulching machine again, the mulching plug must be
installed again. To do this, remove the grass collecting bag, insert the mulching plug
into the ejector channel and close the ejector flap.
Clean the ejector channel first.
15 SERVICE INTERVALS
IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Under extreme or unusual conditions, shorter servicing intervals
than the ones specified below may be necessary. If you establish any problems,
please contact an authorised workshop.
Carry out routine servicing on the machine in line with the following servicing intervals.
Work must be carried out at the following servicing intervals in addition to the
maintenance work listed in these operating instructions.
Before initial use
•
Check the oil level Y1 .
•
Check all screw connections for a tight fit.
•
Check the cutting blade screw and have an authorised workshop tighten it if
necessary.
•
Check whether the safety control bar for the engine brake is working perfectly.
•
Check that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
