• The correct cutting height for
  • ornamental grass is about 30 – 45 mm
  • utility turf is about 40 – 65 mm.

Operation

Working instructions

• Only cut with sharp, flawless mowing blades (19) so that the blades of grass do not fray and the lawn does not turn yellow.
• To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawnmower in the straightest possible paths. These strips should always overlap by a few centimeters so that no patches remain.
• Keep the underside of the lawnmower housing clean and be sure to remove grass debris. Deposits make the starting process more difficult and impair cutting quality and grass discharge.
• On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpendicular to the slope. It is possible to prevent the lawnmower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an angle.

Mowing with the grass collection basket

ATTENTION

To do this, place a suitable container (not included in the scope of delivery) under the carburetor and open the carburetor screw (23) with the aid of an open-end wrench AF10 (not included in the scope of delivery).

Maintenance of the air filter (9a) (Fig. 14)

DANGER

Risk of fire and explosion!
If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can lead to severe burns or death.

1. Only clean the air filter by knocking it out.
2. Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable solvents.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without a filter element or with a damaged filter element can cause engine damage.

• Never run the engine without the air filter element or with a damaged filter element. This would allow dirt into the engine, which would result in severe damage to the engine.

Fouled air filters (9a) diminish the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburetor. Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air filter (9a) should be checked every 25 operating hours and cleaned as required. The air filter (9a) must be checked more often in case of very dusty air.

1. Take off the air filter cover (9) and remove the air filter (9a).
2. Clean the air filter (9a) only by knocking it out.
3. Replace a defective air filter (9a) with a new one.
4. Put the air filter (9a) back in place and replace the air filter cover (9).

Maintaining the spark plug (12a) (Fig. 15+16)
Check the spark plug (12a) for contamination for the first time after 10 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if necessary. Then maintain the spark plug (12a) every 50 operating hours.

1. Pull off the spark plug connector (12) with a twisting motion(Fig. 15).
2. Remove the spark plug (12a) with a spark plug wrench (not included in the scope of delivery).
3. Use a feeler gauge to set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030”). Refit the spark plug (12a) and take care not to overtighten it.

Engine brake lever (2) (Fig. 1, 12)

• The engine is equipped with a mechanical brake which has to be checked regularly. When releasing the engine brake lever (2), the blade (19) must come to a standstill within 7 seconds.
• A running blade (19) produces perceptible wind noises.
• The running of the blade (19) is signaled by the wind noise generated and can thus be controlled.

NOTE
If you notice that the blade-stopping device is not working correctly, please contact customer service or a specialist workshop.

Ensure that the product is in perfect condition for the entire duration of its service life. Improper maintenance may cause life-threatening injuries.
