cables for lawn mowers must have rubber insulation.
The power cables must be of type H05RN-F as a
minimum and be 3-wire cables. Statutory regulations
require that the type description is imprinted on the
power cable. Never buy a power cable without such
identifying markings! The plug and the portable
socket-outlets on power cables must be made of
rubber and be protected against splash water. The
power cables may not be of unlimited length. Longer
power cables require bigger conductor cross-
sections.
Power cables and connection cables should be
checked regularly for damage. Always make sure
that the cables are switched off before you start to
inspect them. Wind out the power cable completely.
You should also check the power cable bushings on
plugs and portable socket-outlets for kinks.
The lawn mower is designed for private use in the
home garden and allotment garden.
Lawn mowers for the home garden and allotment
garden are ones which are not normally used for
more than 50 hours in the year and which are mainly
used for the care of grass surfaces and lawns but not
for public open spaces, parks, sports facilities or for
agricultural or forestry purposes.
Compliance with the operating instructions enclosed
by the manufacturer is essential for the proper use of
the lawn mower. The operating instructions also
contain all requirements for operation, maintenance
and servicing.
Important! To avoid risk of injury to the user the lawn
mower must never be used for trimming bushes,
hedges or shrubs, for cutting and shredding climbing
plants or lawns on roof gardens or in balconies, or for
cleaning (vacuuming) paths or as a shredder for
shredding tree and hedge trimmings. Furthermore,
the lawn mower must never be used as a motorized
hoe or for levelling uneven ground, e.g. for levelling
mole-hills.
For safety reasons the lawn mower must never be
used as a drive unit for other working tools or sets of
tools of any kind unless expressly authorized by the
manufacturer.

handle for the central height adjuster all have to be
assembled before the lawn mower can be used.
Follow the operating instructions step by step and
refer to the illustrations to make it easier to complete
the assembly work.
Fitting the wheels (see Figs. 2 to 5)
Take the lawn mower out of the box. The wheels are
in the mowing compartment of the lawn mower. For
protection during transportation a protective cap was
fitted to each of the rear axles. These are no longer
required for the later use of the lawn mower. Fit the
wheel onto the axle (Fig. 2). Using the supplied
universal wrench and the Allen screws with
corresponding washers (Fig. 3), fasten the wheel in
position (Fig. 4). Once you have fastened the wheel,
fit the wheel cap (Fig. 5). Repeat for the other 3
wheels.
Assembling the adjuster knob for the central
height adjuster
(see Figs. 6 and 7)
For protection during transportation a protective cap
was fitted to the square bar for the central height
adjuster. This is no longer required for the later use
of the lawn mower.
Fit the supplied adjuster knob to the square bar (Fig.
6) and fasten it with the supplied screw (Fig. 6). Then
fit the upper part of the adjuster knob to the lower
part (Fig. 7).
Assembling the push bar (see Figs. 8 to 14)
Slide the lower push bar into the pre-mounted stay
tubes (Fig. 8). Fasten the lower push bar with the
supplied cap nuts as shown in Fig. 9.
The upper switch-off lever then has to be slid onto
the lower push bar (Fig. 11). Then fasten the upper
push bar with the supplied screws (1) and
handwheels (2) (Fig. 12). Fasten the cable to the
push bar (Fig. 14) using the supplied cable clips (Fig.
13).
Assembling the cable grip (see Fig. 10)
The cable grip must be slid onto the upper part of the
handle until it locks into position. It can be fitted
either on the side shown in Fig. 10 or on the opposite
side.
Assembling the grass bag (see Figs. 15 to 17)
Pull the grass bag over the bar frame (Fig. 15). The
grass bag must be fastened to the bar frame as
shown in Fig. 16 and 17.
Before you ever fit the grass bag to the mower you
