Mowing
Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as
I
close to the power point as possible. Work away
from the power point. Then at right angles.
Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at
the end of each turn.
When mowing do not allow the motor to la-
bour particularly in heavy conditions. When
the motor labours the speed of the motor drops and
you will hear a change in the motor sound, when this
occurs stop mowing, release the switch lever and
raise the height of cut. Failure to do so could dam-
age the machine.
NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety cut out
which is activated when the blade becomes jammed
or if the motor is overloaded. When this occurs
stop, remove the plug from the power supply.
The safety cut out will only reset when the switch
lever 1 is released. Clear any obstruction and
wait for a few minutes for the safety cut out to re-
set before continuing to use the mower. At this
time do not operate the switch lever 1 as this will
prolong the reset time of the safety cut out. If the
mower cuts out again increase the height of cut
to reduce the load on the motor.
For ROTAK 34 C/40 C only:
The collection indicator 15 during normal op-
H J
eration will be in the raised position. When the
grassbox needs emptying or the chute area 19 on
the underside of the mower is blocked and requires
cleaning, the indicator will drop.

Maintenance

Stop, remove plug from the power supply
and remove the grassbox.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out
the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged blade, loose fixings, and
worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or
repairs before using.
If the mower should happen to fail despite the care
taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be
carried out by an authorised customer service agent
for Bosch garden products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al-
ways include the 10-digit part number (typ) from the
nameplate of the machine!

After Mowing/Storage
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a
soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially
from the ventilation slots 9.

area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade
area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage loosen the wing nuts 13 and fold the
handles.
