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 main-
tenance work:
• Oil drip pan (for oil change)
• A 1 litre measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
• A petrol can (5 litres is sufficient for approx. 6 operating hours)
• 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)
• 0,5 litre of engine oil (SAE 30)
Assembly
1. Take the mower and attachment parts out of the packaging and check that all parts are present.
2. Attach the lower push bar to both sides of the mower with one screw (a), 1 washer small (c), 1 plastic
star grip nut (d) each. Make sure that the cables, which will be attached later, are not in the way (Fig.
2-3).
3. Attach the upper push bar on the lower push bar with one quick-release lever (5), one washer big
(b), one washer small (c) and one plastic star grip nut (d) each on both sides (Fig. 4-5).
4. Insert the pull start handle (17) in the designated hook as shown in Fig. 6.

Lift the side discharge flap and mount the side discharge cover (8) (Fig. 15/15a). If the grass box
is attached, remove it and replace it with the mulch insert.
9. Mulching:
If the grass box (16) is attached, remove it and replace it with the mulch insert (19) as shown in
Fig. 10-12.

Setting the cutting height

m CAUTION!
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.13/ Item 14). 7
different cutting heights can be selected.
• Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position. (Fig. 13)
