5. Check the oil level.
6. Fill the tank with approx. 1.6 liters of petrol
whenever empty, using a funnel and measuring
jug to do so. Ensure that the petrol is free of any
contaminants.
Note: Use only unleaded petrol as fuel.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool
down for a few minutes.
7. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
8. Move the speed lever to position "N".
9. Stand behind the mower. Place one hand on the
engine start/stop lever. Place the other hand on
the starter handle.
10. Start the engine using the reversing starter (Fig.
1/Item 5). To do this pull the handle approx. 10 –
15 cm (until you feel a resistance) and then start
the engine with a sharp pull. If the engine does
not start, pull the handle again. Important!
Never allow the starter cord to snap back.
11. If the engine does not start up after 5 - 6 pulls.
Note: In cold weather, it may be necessary to
repeat the starting process several times.
12. When the engine is at working temperature it can
be started in the "Tortoise" (Fig. 12) setting.
Important: Attempting to start the engine when
set at position "N" (Fig. 12) may cause the
spark plug to become wet if the engine is at
working temperature. Wait a few minutes before
attempting to start the engine again.

7. Before mowing

Important information
1. Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or
damaged in any other way must be immediately
exchanged for a genuine Einhell replacement
blade.
3. Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in
the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring
jug (an empty tank can be refilled with approx.
ca. 1.1 liters of petrol). Wipe off any spilled
petrol.
4. Read and follow in the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equipment.

Store the manual in a place where it can be
readily accessed by other users of the machine.
5. Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine
out in the open.
6. Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that
they are in good working order.
7. The machine should only be operated by
persons who are well informed with the way it
works, and who are in reasonably good physical
condition.
8. It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it is
wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass
when it is dry.
9. Advise children and others to keep well away
from the lawn mower.
10. Never mow the grass in poor visibility.
11. Remove all loose objects from the lawn before
you start mowing the grass.

8. Tips for proper mowing

Important! Never open the chute flap when the
catch bag has been detached (to be emptied) and
the engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between
the user and the mower housing. Be especially
careful when mowing and changing direction on
slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and
wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

9. Mowing

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This
will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap
each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid
bare strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it
more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the
quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine
