Remove dirt and grass residue immediately after finishing mowing. Place the mower on
its side and use a brush or cloth to clean.
ATTENTION
Do not put your fingers into the openings of the fan housing and hold onto the
fan. If the blade bar is rotated during cleaning, there is a risk that your fingers
may become caught between the fan and the fan housing!
IMPORTANT
Never spray the mower with water. This may damage the electrical systems.

– To save storage space or for transportation, loosen the four wing nuts such that
the guide bar can be folded together without resistance in Z-shape above the
engine A1 .
The locking cams on the bottom bar end must snap out of the holes on the
housing.
– Do not kink nor squeeze the cables.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage purposes, when loosening the
wing nuts and snapping the locking cams from the drilled holes in the housing, it
is possible that unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur. In addition, this
may result in crushed areas between the top and bottom part of the bar as well as
the housing. This may result in a risk of injury!

– If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the carrying
handle at the front and at the back (see Figure N ).
Please take the weight of the machine into consideration before lifting it (see
Technical Data). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
We recommend that two people should always lift or carry the equipment.
– Transport the equipment in an upright position.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll
away before it is secured.
– Remove the collecting bag and secure it separately during transport.
– Secure the equipment with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps
with clamping elements) on or inside the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands
made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is marked with a label. The label
contains important details for application. The information on this label must be
heeded when using the tie-down strap.
– For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four
lashing straps. Secure the wheels of the equipment in such a way that it does not
move during transportation.
NOTE
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause damage.

A sharp blade guarantees optimum cutting performance. Before you start mowing,
always check the condition and firm attachment of the cutting blade. The blade
attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop since an
insulation protection test always has to be carried out after repairs or maintenance work
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols

on insulation parts (e.g. blade screw) in accordance with the applicable standard DIN
EN 60335. A worn or damaged blade must always be replaced.

WARNING
The sharpening and balancing of the blade should be carried out only by an
authorized specialist workshop, since according to the applicable standard DIN
EN 60335, an insulation test must always be carried out following repairs or
maintenance work to insulating components (e.g. blade screws).
An improperly sharpened or unbalanced blade can cause severe vibrations, and
damage the lawnmower.

The cutting edges of the cutting blade may be grinded only until the respective value
(see illustration Q ) or the marking (1) on the cutting blade (ring) has been reached.
Attention! Observe the grinding angle of 30°.
Your professional workshop can check this value - (grinding limit) for you!

WARNING
The cutter bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop since an
insulation protection test always has to be carried out after repairs and
maintenance work on insulation parts (e.g. blade screw) in accordance with the
applicable standard DIN EN 60335.
In addition, a wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling can allow the cutter bar
to become loose, which can lead to serious injuries.

– Only use genuine cutter bars for replacement. Non-equivalent spare parts can
damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
– Replacement cutting tool must be marked permanently with the name and/or
company logo of the manufacturer or supplier and the part number.

Lubricate the wheel bearings once a year or every 15-20 operating hours.
– Remove the wheel cap cover on both sides.
– Use a socket wrench to loosen the hexagon nut, remove the washer, pull the
wheels off the wheel axle together with the wheel cap and collar washer. Remove
the wheel cap from the wheel.
– After the bearings have been lubricated using the roller bearing grease "KAJO-
Longlife grease LZR 2", push the wheels back on. First insert the collar washer into
the wheel, set the wheel cap in place and press until you hear it click. Set the
washer in place, fix using the hexagon nut and tighten to such an extent that the
wheels can just about turn easily but without play. Replace the wheel cap covers.

2". Do not lubricate the free-wheeling pinion and gear rim in the wheel!
– Set the wheel cover in place and push the start-up disc onto the wheel axle. When
putting the drive wheel in place make sure the pinion and gear rim interlock, turn
the wheel on the axle slightly to achieve this if necessary.
– If the wheel cap has loosened from the wheel, insert the collar washer into the
wheel first as shown in Figure R , set the wheel cap in place and press until you
hear it click. Set the washer in place, fix using the hexagon nut and tighten to such
