11.1.2 Emptying the grass collection
basket (23) (Fig. 12)
WARNING
Before removing the grass collection basket, switch
off the engine and wait for the blade to stop.
ATTENTION
Danger of injury!
Remove the grass collection basket only when the en-
gine is switched off and the blade is stationary.
The grass collection basket must be emptied as soon
as grass cuttings are left lying behind on the ground
during mowing.
1. To remove the grass collection basket (23), lift the
rear discharge flap (22).
2. Take out the grass collection basket (23) by the carry-
ing handle. In accordance with the safety regulations,
the discharge flap (22) closes when the grass collec-
tion basket (23) is unhooked and closes the rear ejec-
tion opening.
If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to
pull the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to
start the engine.
ATTENTION
Do not remove cuttings in the mower housing and on
the working tool by hand or with your feet, but with suit-
able aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.
To ensure good collection, the grass collection basket
(23) and in particular the air filter (12a) must be cleaned
from the inside after use.
11.2 Mowing with the mulching insert
When mulching, the cuttings are shredded in the closed
mower housing and then dispersed on the lawn. Grass
collection and disposal are not required. The fine green
waste falls back into the grass root as a natural fertiliser,
adds moisture to the lawn and supplies it with important
nutrients.
NOTE
Mulching is only possible on relatively short lawns.
11.2.1
1. Lift the rear discharge flap (22).
2. Remove the grass collection basket (23) (if used) by
the carrying handle.
3. Press the unlocking knob on the mulching insert (26)
and insert the mulching insert (26). The unlocking
knob engages audibly.
Ensure that the mulching insert (26) is correctly posi-
tioned in the recesses.
4. Adjust the cutting height (see 10.1).
Tips for mulching and mowing:
• Cut the grass back by 2 cm if the grass is 4-6 cm high.
11.3 Mowing with side discharge
The side discharge (19a) enables you to even manage
high and wild grass that is only mown rarely.
11.3.1
1. First remove the grass collection basket (23) and in-
sert the mulching insert (26) (see 11.2).
2. Activate the locking mechanism of the side discharge
flap (19), fold it upwards and hold it firmly.
3. Insert the side discharge (19a).
4. Close the side discharge flap (19) slowly. The side
discharge flap (19) secures the side discharge (19a)
to prevent it falling out.
11.3.2
1. Open the side discharge flap (19) and hold it tight.
2. Remove the side discharge (19a) and close the side
discharge flap (19).
It engages audibly.
11.4 Starting the engine
NOTE
The blade rotates when the engine is started.
Do not start the product if the ejector chute is covered by
one of the following parts:
• Grass collection basket
• Mulching insert
11.4.1
1. Check the fuel and engine oil levels before each start
(see sections 9.1 and 9.2). Make sure that the spark
plug connector (16) is connected to the spark plug
(16a).
2. Stand behind the lawnmower. One hand pushes the
engine brake lever (3) to the steering (1), the other
pulls the pull starter (25).
3. Start the engine with the pull starter (25). To do this,
pull the handle out approx. 10-15 cm (until resistance
is felt). And then pull hard with a jerk. If the engine
does not start, pull on the pull starter (25) again.
