6. Operation

Note!
The engine comes without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol befo-
re starting the engine.
1. Check the oil level (see 7.2.1).
2. Use a funnel and measuring jug to fi ll the tank
with petrol. Make sure that the petrol is clean.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes.
3. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to
the spark plug.
Carrying out a safety test on the engine start/
stop lever
The lawn mower comes equipped with an engi-
ne start/stop lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1a) in order to
prevent it from starting up unintentionally and to
ensure that the engine and blade stop quickly in
case of danger. The lever must be actuated (Fig.
5b) before the lawn mower is started. When the
engine start/stop lever is released, it must return
to its initial position (Fig. 5a).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this process several times in order to ensure that
the lever and actuator cables are working pro-
perly.
Repeat the test several times after the engine
has started up. When the engine start/stop lever
is released, the engine must stop within a few se-
conds. If not, contact Customer Service.

Danger: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.

6.1 Starting the engine

1. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to
the spark plug.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 6/Item 2)
three times. You can skip this point if the engi-
ne has already warmed up.
3. Stand behind the lawn mower. Actuate the
engine start/stop lever (Fig. 5b) with one
hand. The other hand must be on the starter
handle.
4. Start the engine using the reversing starter
(Fig. 1/Item 9). To do this pull out the handle
approx. 10 –15 cm (until you feel a resistance)
and then start the engine with a sharp tug.
If the engine does not start, tug the handle
again.
Note! Never allow the actuator cable to snap
back.
Note! In cold weather, it may be necessary to
repeat the starting process several times.
Drive unit
Drive lever/clutch lever (Fig. 5a/Item 1b):
If you press this (Fig. 5c) the clutch for the drive
will be closed and the lawnmower will start to
move with the engine running. Release the drive
lever in good time to stop the moving lawnmower.
Practice starting and stopping before you use the
mower for the fi rst time until you are familiar with
controlling the mower.
6.2 Tips on mowing properly
Danger!
Never open the chute fl ap when the grass
bag has been detached (to be emptied) and
the engine is still running. The rotating blade
can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and
debris bag. Switch off the engine before you
remove them.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of
adjustment, maintenance or repair work,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade
no longer rotates. Pull off the spark plug con-
nector.
