4.3 Operation of mower
4.3.1 Connecting extension lead
Fig. 4 + 5
First plug the connector of the lead
into the socket on the saftey switch
and then attach the strain relief so that
the cable contains some slack towards
the socket (Fig. 4). The cable restraint
prevents unintentional disruption of the
electrical connection.
Always unwind the entire length of the
lead from the cable drum and lay out
in large slack loops.
Insert the plug into the appropriate
socket. The lead should be positioned
so that it is always on the side that has
already been mown.
The cable should not be crushed
between doors or window gaps.
Only ever disconnect the power
lead at the plug or the coupling
casing.
4.3.2 Starting operation (Fig. 4)
Push the mower to a flat part of the
lawn.
The lawnmower must not be lifted up
when switching on the motor. If neces-

5.1 General information about
caring for your lawn
For safety reasons always switch off
the motor before adjusting the cutting
height or switching the aerator roller
on and off (only 32 EH).
5.1.1 Obtaining a neat cutting pat-
tern
When aerating (only 32 EH) and
mowing your lawn we recommend
trying to keep the cutting track of the
mower as straight as possible. The
tracks should always overlap by a few
centimetres to prevent strip formation.
Always make sure that the cutter
edges are sharp and in good condition
to prevent the blades of grass from
tearing and the lawn then turning
yellow.
To keep your lawn in good condition
we recommend cutting it weekly if
possible. If it is cut frequently, the lower
sary tilt slightly so that the cutter is
pointing away from yourself.
When the motor is running, keep
your hands and feet away from
the inner housing and cuttings
ejector.
The mains connection socket must
have at least 16 A protection.
To start, press the starter button with
one hand while at the same time pul-
ling the safety lever towards the
frame. Release the starter button when
the motor has started.
Note:
The mower will start more easily if you
tilt it slightly by pressing on the hand-
lebar.
If the cutter or the aerator roller (only
32 EH) is blocked by a foreign body or
the motor is overloaded, release the
safety lever and disconnect the
mains plug. Remove the blockage if
necessary.
!
! If the aerator roller is
connected with a cutting height of
part of the blades of grass will be
encouraged to grow, thus making it
more resistant.
Cut the grass for the first time each
year in the spring as soon as the grass
starts to grow and the lawn can be
walked on.
If the grass has become too long, do
not cut it right down to the required
cutting length at once as this will cause
it to loose too much substance. First
mow in one direction with a high cut-
ting height setting and then cut again
crosswise to the required cutting
height.
Note:
On sloping ground the cutting
tracks should run across the slope.
You can prevent the mower from
slipping by pointing it slightly
upwards. Do not mow on very
steep slopes and take particular
care when changing direction.
Keep the underside of the mower
housing clean and remove all
less than 55 mm, the Hattrick
should never be started up on sta-
bilised surfaces (e.g. tiles, paving,
tarmac or paved paths, drives,
etc.) as the aerator springs will be
in contact with the ground. When
starting up, make sure that the cut-
ter runs freely. If necessary tilt
slightly so that the tool is pointing
away from yourself.
4.3.3. Switching off
Release the safety lever to switch
the motor off (Fig. 4). An integrated
brake will ensure that the cutter
stops with 3 seconds.
!
! Attention! Cutter runs on.
!
! Attention! Never remove
or bridge the manufacturer's safety
systems, e.g. by tying the switch
lever to the frame. The mower will
not switch off automatically and
there is a risk of injury.
grass deposited on it. Deposits of
grass make it harder to start the
mower and impair the cutting qua-
lity and grass ejection.
5.2 Mowing with aerator roller
(only 32 EH)
The Hattrick is the only lawnmower to
have an aerator roller which can be
used to remove moss and matted grass
during mowing. The Hattrick is not a
harrower which is only used once or
twice a year. It aerates the lawn effec-
tively when used regularly as it remo-
ves moss and matted grass in a much
more gentle way. The aeration depth is
adjustable and is controlled via the
central cutting height adjustment.
The grass should not be higher than
approx. 50 mm when you connect the
aerator roller or the aeration effect
will not be achieved. In addition long
blades of grass may become trapped
in the aerator roller.
