MOVEMENT DRIVE
Operating the rear wheel drive (Illustration G )
The rear wheel drive is switched on and off using the drive switch bar (A) on the upper handle when the engine is running:
– Press drive switch bar and hold = mower runs.
– Release drive switch bar = mower stops (0 position).
NOTE
Click the rear wheels if the mower thrusts forward when the engine is turned off.
Adjusting the speed (Illustration H )
IMPORTANT
The speed may only be adjusted when the engine is running in order to avoid damage!
The operating speed can be continuously adjusted using the operating lever of the variable speed switch mounted on the
right-hand side.
– First, pull the lever out of the catch (1) and then set the desired driving speed (2) by adjusting the position of the lever.
The lever automatically clicks back into the nearest new position.
– Position “hare” = fast (max. speed).
– Position “tortoise” = slow (min. speed).
NOTE
Mowing at high speed leads to poor cutting pattern or collection result. Always adapt the speed to the prevailing
conditions. For longer grass sections, a slower moving speed should be selected.

MOWING
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Mowing on slopes
ATTENTION
The mower can be operated on slopes and inclines up to an angle of 25°. Slopes steeper than this may lead to
engine damage.
For reasons of safety, however, we urgently recommend that you do not attempt to exploit this theoretical potential
capacity to the full. Hand-held lawnmowers should never be used on slopes steeper than 15°.
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
Before each mowing process, ensure that the safety control bar for the motor brake functions properly. If the safety bar is
released, the motor and cutter bar must stop within three seconds. If this is not the case, consult your nearest specialist
workshop.
Ensure that all protection units are correctly applied and are not damaged!
After the first hours of operation and subsequently, from time to time, check all screws and nuts for firm seating. Screws and
nuts should then be tightened if necessary! To avoid risks, check the state each time before you start mowing and check the
firm seating of the blade (see the chapter on "Maintenance of the blade bar").
In addition, regularly check the fan, blade coupling and fan housing for wear and seating.
