6. Before starting the equipment

6.1 Assembling the components

Some parts of the mower come disassembled. For
quick and easy assembly, read and follow the
instructions below.
Important! You will need the following additional
tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for
maintenance work:
A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
A 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
A petrol can
A funnel (suitable for the tankʼs petrol filler neck)
Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue;
dispose of these at a filling station)
A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from
DIY stores)
An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY
stores)
Assembly
1. Assemble the push bar (Item 3) as shown in Fig.
3a, 3b and 3c. For fastening choose one of the
holes to suit the required height of the push bar.
Important: The identical height must be set on
both sides. Make sure that the cables which are
fastened later are not in the way.
2. Insert the grip of the starter cable (Fig. 3c/Item 4)
into the hook provided for that purpose as shown
in Fig. 3c.
3. Fasten the cables to the push bar with the
supplied cable clips (Fig. 3d/Item 13).
4. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4/Item 8) with one hand
and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 7) as
shown in Fig. 4.
6.2 Setting the cutting height (Fig. 15-16)
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that
the blade is not blunt and that none of the
fasteners are damaged. To prevent any
imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades
as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this
check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the
cutting height adjustor lever
(Fig. 7/Item 9). Up to 9 different cutting heights
can be selected.
Pull the adjuster lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever will snap into the desired
position.

7. Operation

Note:
For detailed information on starting the engine,
refer to the enclosed manual from Briggs &
Stratton.
Important.
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the
engine. You will also need to fill in petrol, as this
is also not supplied upon delivery.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of
adjustment and/or repair work on your lawn mower,
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out any
adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1):
Use the lever to stop the engine. When you
release the lever the engine and the blade stop
automatically (Fig. 5b). To mow, hold the lever in
the working position. Before you start to mow,
