Fitting the wheels (Fig. 3a to 3d):
Follow Fig. 3a to 3d for fi tting the wheels.
Fitting the push bar (Fig. 4a to 4c)
Take a bottom push bar (Fig. 2 /Item 3) and fasten
it with the nut (Fig. 2/Item 13) as shown in Fig. 4a.
Proceed in the same way on the other side. Screw
the top push bar (Fig. 2/Item 1) to the bottom
push bar (Fig. 2/Item 3) as shown in Fig. 4b.
Then attach the power cable to the push bar (Fig.
4c/Item A) using the cable clips (Fig. 2/Item 14).
Mounting the grass basket (Fig. 5a to 5c)
Plug the bottom and the top part of the grass box
together (Fig. 5a/Item 9, 10). Ensure that all the
plastic lugs engage correctly. Next push the grass
box handle (Fig. 5b/Item 11) into the openings on
the grass box. Check that the handle is secure
and correctly positioned. Before you fi t the grass
basket you must ensure that the motor is swit-
ched off and the blade is not rotating.
The grass box must be attached to the two hooks
on the mower (Fig. 5c). To do this, open the ejec-
tor fl ap with one hand (Fig. 5c/Item 4) and attach
the grass box with the other hand. The ejector fl ap
is held against the grass box by a spring.
Adjusting the cutting height
Warning!
Adjust the cutting height only when the motor has
been switched off and the power cable has been
disconnected.
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 damaged blades. To carry out this
check, fi rst switch off the motor and pull out the
power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as shown in Figure
6. To do so, turn the equipment upside down or tilt
it to the side. Position both the front and rear axle
in the same notch, so that the cutting blade runs
parallel to the lawn.

Power supply
The lawn mower can be connected to any light
socket-outlet with a 220-240 Volt alternating
current. However, the socket outlet must have an
earthing contact protected by a 16 A circuit brea-
ker. Additionally, a residual current device (RCD)
circuit-breaker with max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not dama-
ged. The total length of the power cable should
not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance
will reduce the power output of the electric motor.
The power cable must have a cross-section of 3
x 1.5 mm . The insulating sheath of lawn aerator
2
power cables is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
•
Cuts caused by running over the cable
•
Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows.
•
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
•
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be
of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type
must be printed somewhere on the power cable.
Only purchase power cables that are marked as
such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power
cables must be made from rubber and be splash-
proof. There is a limit to how long power cables
can be. Longer power cables require larger con-
ductor cross-sections. Power cables and connec-
ting lines must be regularly checked for damage.
Ensure that the lines are de-energized before
checking them. Completely unwind the power
cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs
and socket couplers for kinks.

6. Operation

Connect the power cable to the power plug (Fig.
1/Item 7) and secure the power cable with the
cable stress-relief clip (Fig. 7). Use the fasteners
(cable holders) for the power cable.
Caution!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch
(Fig. 7/Item 1) which must be pressed before the
ON switch (Fig. 7/Item 2) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switch is
released.
