10. Mowing with grass box:
Lift the discharge flap (15) with one hand and hang
the grass box (16) as shown in fig. 9.
11. Mulching:
If the grass box (16) is attached, remove it and replace
it with the mulch insert (19) as shown in fig. 10-12.
Setting the cutting height
m CAUTION!
Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is
switched off and the plug boot has been pulled.
• Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are
damaged.
• To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or dam-
aged blades as a set only (if applicable). To carry
out this check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
• The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the cut-
ting height adjustor lever (fig. 13/ Item 14). 7 different
cutting heights can be selected.
• Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired po-
sition. (fig. 13)
Preparing the area to be mowed
Before mowing, carefully examine the area. Remove
stones, sticks, bones, wires, toys and other objects that
may be ejected.

Operation
m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before start-up!
m CAUTION!
The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore,
ensure that you add 0,45 litres of oil before start-
ing it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30). The
oil level in the engine must be checked each time
before mowing.
You will also need to fill in petrol, as this is also not
supplied upon delivery.
• In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine brake
(Fig. 1/ Item 3) which must be pulled back before
the engine can be started. When the engine control
lever is released it must return to its initial position,
at which point the engine automatically switches off.
• Press the engine brake lever (3) together and give
the starter cord (17) a vigorous pull. (Fig. 14)
Attention: When you pull the starting rope the cut-
ting blade rotates even when dissolved motor brake
lever. Make sure that there are no body parts in dan-
ger zone of cutting blade.
• When the engine is running, press the drive lever (2) to
the handle (1) in order to engage drive on the mower.
• Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
m WARNING
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjust-
ment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out
any adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Warning of the danger of moving blade assemblies!
Using the drive:
• Engine brake (3): Use the lever to stop the engine.
When you release the lever the engine and the blade
stop automatically.
• To mow, hold the drive lever (2) in the working po-
sition. Before you start to mow, check the start/stop
lever several times to be sure that it is working prop-
erly. Ensure that the tension cable can be smoothly
operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way).
• Drive lever (2): If you press this the clutch for the drive
will be closed and the lawnmower will start to move
with the motor running. Release the drive lever in good
time to stop the moving lawnmower. Practice starting
and stopping before you use the mower for the first
time until you are familiar with controlling the mower.
m Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the
engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine, move the mo-
tor brake several times to be sure that the stop cable is
properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is opti-
mal for cutting and blowing grass into the basket and is
designed to provide many years of use.
• Check the oil level.
• Open the fuel tank cap and fill the petrol tank (6) up
to the lower point of the tank inlet with about 0.8 li-
tres of petrol. Use a funnel and a measuring contain-
er for filling. Do not overfill the tank. Use fresh, clean
unleaded fuel.
