Putting Into Operation - Brill 42 BFR Bedienungsanleitung

7. Putting into operation

Always carry out a visual inspec-
tion before using your lawnmower
GB
to ensure that cutting tool, retain-
ing bolts and entire cutting unit
are not worn or damaged.
Always replace worn or damaged
cutting tools with new parts to
ensure the lawnmower is prop-
erly balanced (see Maintenance,
Care and Storage).
Warning! The motor is
A
delivered without any oil
in the crank housing. Therefore,
before use it is imperative that
the motor crank housing be filled
with 10 W 30 motor oil. To do
so, place the appliance in a hori-
zontal position and clean the
area surrounding the oil filling
hole. Please adhere to the motor
manufacturer's instructions.
(The original instruction manual
is included.)
Check the oil level in the motor
each time before mowing your
lawn. To do this, position the
lawnmower so that it is horizon-
tal and remove the dipstick.
The oil level on the dipstick must
be between the Min (ADD) and
Max (Full) markings.
We recommend fuelling your
lawnmower with two-star petrol.
Warning! Petrol is
A
extremely flammable.
Only store petrol in containers
intended for this purpose.
Only pour petrol into the tank
when outdoors and do not
smoke while filling the tank.
Fill the tank before starting the
motor. Do not open the fuel cap
or pour in petrol when the motor
is running or when the lawn-
mower is hot.
Warning! Allow the engine
A
to cool off for 2 minutes
before refuelling.

Clean the area surrounding the
filler before removing the tank
cap for refuelling. Fill the tank
up to approx. 2.5 cm beneath
the lower edge of the filler neck
so that the fuel has space to
expand. Ensure that the tank is
not overfilled.
If petrol overflows from the tank,
do not attempt to start the motor.
Instead, move the lawnmower
away from the area where you
spilt the petrol. Do not attempt to
start the motor until the petrol
vapours have evaporated.
If you need to empty the fuel
tank, this must be done out-
doors. For safety reasons,
always install a new fuel cap
and other tank caps if they
are damaged.
To prevent injury due to burns
keep the motor / exhaust and
the area around the fuel tank
free of grass, leaves and escap-
ing grease (oil).
Only mow your lawn in daylight
or when your lawn is lit by ample
artificial lighting. If possible,
avoid using the lawnmower when
the grass is wet. Always ensure
you have a sturdy stance when
working on slopes and inclines.
Push the lawnmower at walking
pace. Be particularly careful
when turning the lawnmower or
pulling it towards you. Always
stop the cutting tool before tilting
the lawnmower to move it over
a surface other than grass and
when moving the lawnmower to
and from the area of lawn you
are planning to mow.
Never use the lawnmower if the
safety devices or protective
grilles are damaged, or if the
installed safety devices, e. g. baf-
fle plates and / or grass catching
devices have been removed.
Warning! Do not remove
A
or bridge the safety
devices installed by the manu-
facturer. This will prevent the
lawnmower switching off auto-
matically and may cause
serious injury.
Keep your hands and feet away
from the internal housing and
grass ejection chute when the
motor is running.
Always wear sturdy shoes and
long trousers when mowing.
Never mow your lawn when
barefoot or when wearing only
lightweight sandals.
Adjusting the cutting height
The cutting height can be
adjusted in seven stages by
using the locking lever (fig. C,
pos. 6). To adjust the cutting
height, pull the locking lever out
of the notch, push the locking
lever to the required position
(fig. C1) and allow the locking
lever to engage.
Cutting height Stage 1 = 1.6 cm
this position is
only for ornamen-
tal lawns and
especially level
surfaces.
Stage 2 = 2.5 cm
Stage 3 = 3
Stage 4 = 4
Stage 5 = 5
Stage 6 = 6
Stage 7 = 7
Note:
in order to move the stopping
lever to an higher stage more
easily, slightly lift the appliance
up using the housing handle
(fig. C, pos. 4).
