9. Notes on working with the

machine
A perfect, thick lawn is achieved by
– Mowing at low driving speeds.
– Mowing regularly and keeping the grass
1
short.
– Not cutting the lawn too short in hot, dry
conditions as it will be burnt by the sun
and become unsightly.
– Using a sharp mowing blade – mowing
blade should therefore be sharpened
regularly (specialist dealer).
– Changing the cutting direction regularly.
10. Initial operation of the
machine

10.1 Starting the engine

Avoid damage to the machine!
Do not start the engine in tall grass
or at the lowest cutting height. This
makes starting difficult.
Thanks to the fixed throttle setting,
the engine always operates at the
optimum working speed after
starting.
Start procedure when the engine is
cold:
● Press the primer (1) three times.
● Press the motorstop lever (2) to the
handlebar and hold.
● Slowly pull out the recoil starter rope (3)
to the point of compression resistance.
Then pull forcefully and quickly to arm's
length. Slowly return the recoil starter
rope (3) again so that it is rolled up
again.
Repeat the procedure until the engine
starts.
Start procedure when the engine is
warm:
Avoid damage to the machine!
The primer must no longer be
pressed when the engine is warm.
It should be remembered, however,
that the engine can cool down very
rapidly in very cold weather.
● The start procedure is the same as
when the engine is cold.
However, it is not necessary to press
the primer (1).
