In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the catch bag and
especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use.
Reattach the catch bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top.
11. After mowing
1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on
top of the mower.
3. Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten
any loose screws.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs
(see address on the warranty certificate).
8. If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not
a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the machine.
12. How to switch off the engine:
All you have to do to switch off the engine is
release the engine start/stop lever (Fig. J/1).
Pull the ignition cable from the spark plug boot in
order to prevent the engine from restarting.
Before starting up again, check the tension cable
for the engine brake. Check that the tension
cable is correctly fitted. If the cable is kinked or
damaged, it should be replaced.
12. Care and maintenance
Important:
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the
ignition unit with the engine running. Always pull the

spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting
any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any
work on the machine while it is running. Any work not
described in these Operating Instructions must be
performed by an authorized service workshop only.
1. Cleaning the lawn mower
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after
every use, especially the underneath and the blade
mount. To do so, tip the lawn mower onto its left side
(the opposite side to the oil filling socket).
Important: Before you tip the lawn mower onto its
side, completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol
suction pump. The lawn mower must never be tilted
by more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass is easiest to
remove immediately after you have finished mowing
the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in
poorer mowing performance. Check that the grass
chute is free of any residual grass. Remove any such
residue. Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet
or high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain
dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as
cold cleaner or petroleum ether.
2. Wheel axles and wheel hubs
These should be lightly greased once a season. To
do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and
slacken the fastening screws on the wheels.
3. Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorized service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.
Changing the blade
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced. The marking on the blade must be
matched with the number given in the list of spare
parts. Never have any other model of blade fitted.
Damaged blades
Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come
into contact with an obstruction, shut down the
engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip
the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for
damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.
Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight
again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily
worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead
to further damage to the lawn mower.
Important: There is a risk of injury if you work with a
