Handle Starter Assembly (Illustration L1 ); Assemble The Collecting Sack And Hang It Onto The Mower (Illustration Q1 + R1 + S1 ); Adjusting The Cutting Height (Illustration I ); Before Using The Lawnmower For The First Time - Sabo 40-SPIRIT Betriebsanleitung

CAUTION
When you activate the bar height adjustment, when loosening the wing nuts
B1 used to secure the bar bottom to the housing (only loosen sufficiently to
ensure that the bar can be moved freely) and snapping the toothed plastic
adaptations from the cut-out on the housing, it is possible that unintentional
upsetting of the bar may occur. In addition, this may result in crushed points
between the bar bottom and the housing. This may result in a risk of injury!

IMPORTANT
Mowing at the lowest cutting height should only be carried out on level and plane
lawns!
Please observe that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for
optimal conditions. If you select cutting height that is too low, the turf can be
damaged and under certain circumstances it can even be destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, also the moving speed influences the cutting pattern
and collection result. Adapt the cutting height and moving speed to the grass
height to be cut.

Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the
screws if necessary! Attachment of the cutter bar must be checked in particular (refer
here to the chapter "Cutter bar care").
The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If
the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar can become
damaged or loose which can lead to serious injuries.

The lawn mower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the motor stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter
bar must come to a standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the engine has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can be heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise after the engine has
been stopped, it can be measured using a stopwatch.

Before starting the engine for the first time, use a funnel to fill motor oil (quantity and
quality see technical data) having unscrewed the dipstick in this opening first.
– Set the mower on level ground.
– Slowly fill oil through the filler neck. Do not overfill. After filling the oil, wait for about
one minute and then check the oil level.
Insert the dipstick and screw it tight.
– Check oil level
Remove the dipstick. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the dipstick, then insert it again
and screw tightly. Then pull the dipstick out again and read off the oil level. The oil
must be at the full mark at the top (arrow). Replenish oil if necessary. The oil level
must not be higher than the full mark, however.
Insert the dipstick again and tighten.
– After initial filling, remove the "NO OIL" sign from the top of the engine.

Only start the engine when you are standing behind the mower.
Always place the mower on a level area which is not covered with high grass (if the
grass is too high it will block the cutter bar start-up and make starting the mower more
difficult). When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if
necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is
pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As
long as the mower has not been lowered to the ground again, both your hands must be
on the top part of the bar.

IMPORTANT
The motor only operates when the safety control bracket is pressed against the
upper part of the handlebar. As soon as the safety control bracket is released,
this returns to its original position under spring force, the motor brake is
actuated, and the motor and blade come to stop within three seconds.
