Starting The Engine; Switching Off The Engine; After Mowing; Cleaning - Parkside PBRM 39 C2 Originalbetriebsanleitung

m Attention! Danger of injury!
Remove the grass collection basket (16) only when the engine
is switched off and the blade (19) is stationary.
As soon as grass cuttings are left lying behind on the ground
during mowing, the grass collection basket (16) must be emp-
tied.
1. To remove the grass collection basket (16), lift the rear
discharge flap (15).
2. Take out the grass collection basket (16) by the carry-
ing handle. In accordance with the safety regulations,
the discharge flap (15) closes when the grass collection
basket (16) is unhooked and closes the rear ejection
opening.
If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to pull
the lawnmower back about one metre to make it easier to
start the engine.
m Attention: Do not remove cuttings in the lawnmower
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 grass collection basket (16)
and in particular the air filter (9a) must be cleaned from the
inside after use.

12.2 Starting the engine

Warning: The blade (19) rotates when the engine is started.
Do not start the device if the grass collection basket (16) is
not inserted.
12.2.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 1+12)
1. Check the petrol and engine oil levels before each start
(see sections 16.2 and 16.3). Make sure that the spark
plug connector (12) is connected to the spark plug (12a).
2. In colder temperatures, press the fuel pump "primer"
(10) three times. This makes it easier to start the device.
3. Stand behind the lawnmower. One hand pushes the en-
gine brake lever (2) to the steering (1), the other pulls the
pull starter (18).
4. Start the engine with the pull starter (18). To do this, pull
the handle out approx. 10-15 cm (until resistance is felt).
And then pull hard with a jerk. If the engine does not
start, pull on the pull starter (18) again.
5. Due to protective coating on the engine, a small amount
of smoke may be present during the initial use of the de-
vice and should be considered normal. This is a normal
process.
Note: Only use the fuel pump "primer" (10) (Fig. 1)
when the machine is cold!
m Attention!
• Do not let the pull starter (18) whip back in.
• In case of cool weather, it may be necessary to repeat the
starting process numerous times.

m WARNING!
Danger of injury!
After switching off the engine, the blade (19) continues to run

cut yourself.
- Wait until the blade (19) comes to a standstill.
- Do not stop the blade (19) with your hand.
- Wear protective gloves.
- Keep the blade (19) away from your feet.
1. To switch off the engine, release the engine brake lever
(2). Wait until the blade (19) stops.
2. Disconnect the spark plug connector (12) from the spark
plug (12a) to prevent the engine from restarting.

12.4 After mowing

• Always allow the engine to cool down before parking the
lawnmower in an enclosed space. Remove grass, leaves,
grease, and oil before storage. Do not store other objects
on the lawnmower.
• Check all screws and nuts before the next use. Tighten up
loose screws.

13.1 Clean lawnmower
Cleaning with a garden hose is only recommended at low

the lawnmower.
Unhook the grass collection basket (16) and brush it out with
a hand brush. You can also roughly clean the housing of the
lawnmower with the sweeper. For larger soiling, you can wipe
the lawnmower with a damp cloth.

with a fuel scavenge pump (not included in the scope of de-
livery).
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.
