Danger!
In order to prevent the equipment from
being switched on unintentionally it comes with a
two-point switch (Fig. 14/Item 2) on the push bar
which has to be pressed before the selector lever
(Fig. 14/Item 3) can be pressed. If the lever switch
is released, the equipment switches o
ff
.
Repeat this process several times so that you
are sure that your equipment functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance
work on the equipment, ensure that the blades
are not rotating and that the safety plug is
disconnected.
Warning! Never open the chute
fl
ap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the engine is still running. A rotating
blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute
fl
ap and grass
basket. Switch o
ff
the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
machine and the user.
Be especially careful when changing direction on
slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and
wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers.
Always work along the incline (not up and down).
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the equipment (tripping hazard)!
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be
used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing
swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.
This will prevent the grass blades from fraying
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
The swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
The operating time of the rechargeable batteries
and therefore the area in square meters that can
be covered with a single battery charge is largely
dependent on the state of the grass (e.g. density,
moisture, height, cutting height, etc.) and the
mowing speed (walking speed). To adjust the area
coverage to your individual requirements, it is
recommended that you mow the lawn more often,
with a higher cutting height and at an appropriate
speed. Frequently turning the equipment on and
o
ff
while mowing will also reduce the amount
of area that you can cover. If the operating time
of the rechargeable batteries (area coverage)
is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above
measures, you can remedy the problem by using
rechargeable batteries with a larger capacity (Ah).
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows. In the main growing season you will
probably need to mow the lawn twice a week,
otherwise just once a week. The cutting height
should be set between 1.6 - 2.4 in. (4 - 6 cm) and
the amount of growth before mowing again should
be 1.6 - 2 in. (4 - 5 cm). If the grass is allowed
to grow somewhat longer for whatever reason,
do not make the mistake of cutting it back to the
normal height in one go. This will harm the lawn.
Never cut it back by more than half the height in
one go.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more di
ffi
cult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. Make several passes so that no
more than 1.6 in. (4 cm) of grass are cut at one
time.
Switch o
ff
the motor before doing any checks on
the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues
to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has
been switched o
ff
. Never attempt to manually
stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the
blade is securely attached, is in good condition
and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen
the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade
strikes an object, immediately switch o
ff
the
lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a
complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Caution! Before taking o
ff
the grass basket,
