Emptying the grass basket
The debris bag (16) is equipped with a filling level in
-
dicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened by the air current
produced by the mower. If the flap falls during mow
-
ing, the debris bag (16) is full and should be emptied.
To ensure that the filling level indicator works prop
-
erly, the holes under the flap must be kept clean and
permeable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mow-
er, it is time to empty the grass basket.

WARNING
Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the
engine and wait until the blade has come to a
stop.
To take off the grass basket (16), use one hand to
lift up the chute flap (15) and the other to grab onto
the basket handle (Fig. 16). Remove the basket. For
safety reasons, the chute flap (15) automatically falls
down after removing the grass basket and closes off
the rear chute opening.
If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to
restart the engine if you pull the mower back approx.
1 meter. Do not use your hands or feet to remove
clippings in or on the mower housing, but instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket
(16) and especially the air grill must be cleaned after
each use. Reattach the grass basket (16) only when
the engine is switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap (15), while
grabbing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang
in the basket from the top. Fig. 9
After mowing
•
Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top
of the mower.
• Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any
loose screws.
•
Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).
• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
•
Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
•
Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address
on the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.
9. Maintenance and cleaning
• Regular, careful maintenance is required to guar-
antee the safety level and performance of the ma
-
chine.
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight-
ened securely and that the machine is in safe work
-
ing condition.
•
Routinely check the grass basket for signs of wear
and impaired functionality.
Regularly clean the grass box with water and let it
dry thoroughly.
•
For your own safety, replace worn or damaged
parts without delay.
•
If the fuel tank should require emptying this should
only be done in the open air using a petrol suction
pump (available from DIY shops).

WARNING
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ig-
nition unit with the engine running. Always pull the
spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting
any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any
work on the machine while it is running. Any work not
described in these Operating Instructions must be
performed by an authorized service workshop only.
Cleaning
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after
every use, especially the underneath and the blade
mount.
Clean the device with water as follows. (Fig. 23)
• Place the hose connection piece onto the water
connection (w) of the mower and open the tap.
•
Start the mower and switch off again after about 30
seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water
onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
•
Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
•
Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp
objects).
m
Note!
Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side,
completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol suc
-
tion pump. The lawn mower must never be tilted by
more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass is easiest to
remove immediately after you have finished mowing
the grass.
Dried on grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing
performance. Check that the grass chute is free of
any residual grass. Remove any such residue. Never
clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high-pres
-
sure cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaner or
petroleum ether.
