IMPORTANT

You should only use your mower at the lowest cutting height on even and flat lawn
surfaces!
Please note that the lower cutting height settings are only to be used under

optimum conditions. If your selected cutting height is too low, the sward may be
damaged and even destroyed.
In addition to the cutting height, the driving speed also influences the cutting

pattern and the collection result. Adjust the cutting height and the driving speed
to the grass height to be cut; do not switch on the autodrive, if applicable.

9 BEFORE INITIAL USE

ation!

For explanation of symbols, see the table on page 3

Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the

screws, if necessary. You must particularly check the fastening of the cutter bar
(see

chapter “Maintenance of the cutter bar”).

The blade fastening screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the

blade screw is tightened excessively or insufficiently, blade coupling and cutter bar may
be damaged or get loose, which can lead to serious injuries.
The lawn mower is fitted with an engine stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the engine stop safety control
bar is working perfectly. When the control bar is released, engine and cutter bar must

come to a standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in

the “Description of

components” diagram.

If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.

Risk of injury!

If the stopping time of the blade is longer, stop using the device and take it to an
authorised workshop.

Measuring the stopping time

After starting the combustion engine, the blade rotates and a wind noise can be heard.
The stopping time corresponds to the duration of the wind noise after the combustion
engine has been switched off; it can be measured with 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.

Filling with oil (figure Y1 )

ation!

For explanation of symbols, see the table on page 3

10 STARTING THE ENGINE

ation!

For explanation of symbols, see the table on
page 3

Only

start

the

engine

when

standing

behind

the

mower.

Always place the mower on a level area which is not covered with high grass (if the grass

is too high it will block the start-up of the cutter bar and make the starting process more
difficult). When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if necessary

it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is pointing in the
direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As long as the

device has not been lowered to the ground again, both of your hands must be on the top
part of the bar.
