5. Move the product a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) from the

To set the cutting height
The cutting height can be adjusted in 4 levels for
KLIPPO LB 442, 5 levels for KLIPPO LB 553S e and 6
levels for KLIPPO LB 448.
1. Move the cutting height lever to increase or
decrease the cutting height.

cutting height lever forward to increase the
cutting height. Move the cutting height lever
rearward to decrease the cutting (Fig. 22)
b) For KLIPPO LB 553S e, move the cutting height
lever rearward to increase the cutting height.
Move the cutting height lever forward to
decrease the cutting (Fig. 23)
CAUTION:
Do not set the cutting height
too low. The blades can hit the ground if the
surface of the lawn is not level.
To start the product
1. Make sure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
2. Open the fuel valve. (Fig. 24)
3. Stay behind the product.
4. Hold the engine brake handle against the handlebar.
(Fig. 25)
5. Hold the starter rope handle with your right hand.
6. Slowly pull out the starter rope until you feel some
resistance.
7. Pull with force to start the engine.
WARNING:
Do not twist the starter
rope around your hand.
CAUTION:
Do not extend the starter
rope fully. Do not release the starter rope
handle when the starter rope is extended.
To stop the product
• To stop the drive only, release the engine brake
handle a small distance.
• To stop the engine, release the engine brake handle
fully.
• Close the fuel valve. (Fig. 26)
To use the drive on the wheels
(KLIPPO LB 553S e)
• Push the drive lever down. (Fig. 27)
• Before you pull the product rearward, disengage the
drive and push the product forward approximately
10cm.
• Release the engine brake handle a small distance to
disengage the drive, for example when you go near
an obstacle.
To get a good result
• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an
irregular result and the cut surface of the grass
becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less
energy than a blunt blade.
• Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass.
Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the
result and lower the cutting height to an applicable
level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2
times if necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time to prevent
stripes in the lawn.
