Emptying the catch basket
The catch basket (4) has a level indicator (Fig. 8). This
is opened by the air flow generated by the mower dur-
ing operation. If the flap (Fig. 8) closes during mow-
ing, the catch basket (4) is full and should be emptied.
The holes under the flap must always be clean and
passable for the level indicator to function properly.
As soon as grass residues are left lying behind on
the ground during mowing, the catch basket must be
emptied.
m WARNING
Before removing the catch basket, stop the en-
gine and wait for the cutting tool to come to a
standstill.
To remove the catch basket (4), lift the discharge flap
(9) with one hand and remove the catch basket (4) by
the carrying handle with the other hand (Fig. 9). In
accordance with the safety regulations, the discharge
flap (9) closes when the catch basket is unhooked and
closes the rear discharge opening.
If grass remains in the opening, it is advisable to pull
the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to
start the engine. Do not remove cuttings in the mower
housing and on the working tool by hand or with your
feet, but with suitable aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.
To ensure good collection, the catch basket (4) and
in particular the air grille must be cleaned from the
inside after use.
Only hook in the catch basket (4) when the engine is
switched off and the cutting tool is stationary.
Lift the discharge flap (9) with one hand and hold the
catch basket (4) by the handle with the other hand and
hook it in from above. (Fig. 9)
After mowing
• Check all screws and nuts before the next use.
Tighten all loose screws.
• Empty the catch basket (4) before the next use.
• Make sure that the mower is not parked next to a
source of danger. Escaping gas can cause explo-
sions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the manu-
facturer may be used for repairs (see address on
guarantee certificate).
• In case of longer idle periods of the mower, empty
the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
• maintain the device
