A funnel (suitable for the tankʼs petrol filler neck)
Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue;
dispose of these at a filling station)

Assembling the lawn mower

1. Take the mower and attachment parts out of the
packaging and check that all parts are present
(Fig. 2-3).
2. Swing the push bar up (Fig. 4) and secure it in
position with the quick-lock levers (Fig. 5-6). Pull
the cords over it so that they do not get kinked
when the push bar is swung down. Make sure
that the starter cord guide (Fig. 6/Item A) faces
upwards.
3. Then hook the starter cord in the starter cord
guide (Fig. 7)
4. Fasten the cable holder to the push bar (Fig. 8)
with the screw (Fig. 3/Item 15).
5. Fasten the cords to the push bar with one of the
cable ties (Fig. 3/Item 16), as shown in Fig. 9.
6. Lift the ejector flap with one hand and hook the
grass basket into the mounts on the housing
(Fig. 14)

5. Setting the cutting height

Important! 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. 1/Item 15). Up to 5 different cutting heights can
be selected.
Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired
position.

6. Starting up

Important!
The engine does not come with oil in it.

Therefore, ensure that you add 0.4 liters of oil
before starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil
(15W 40). The oil level in the engine must be
checked each time before mowing. (see
Checking the oil level).
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 10/Item A) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
Before you start the lawn mower, open the petrol
cock (Fig. 11, arrow = petrol cock open). Move the
speed lever (Fig. 12) to position "N". Press the
engine brake lever (Fig. 10/Item A) together and
give the starter cord a vigorous pull. You can
control the rotation speed of the blade using the
speed lever (Fig. 12).
Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjust-
ment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out any
adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Starting up
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 10/Item A): Use the lever to
stop the engine. When you release the lever the
engine and the blade stop automatically (Fig.
10/Item A). To mow, hold the lever in the working
position. Before you start to mow, check the
start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is
working properly. Ensure that the tension cable
can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or
kinking in any way).
2. Speed lever (Fig. 12): Move this lever in order to
increase or decrease the engine speed. (Tortoise
= Slow / Hare = Fast)
3. Drive lever (clutch lever) (Fig. 1/Item 1): If you
press this (Fig. 13/Item B) the clutch for the drive
will be closed and the lawnmower will start to
move with the motor running.
Release the drive lever in good time to stop the
moving lawnmower. Practice starting and
stopping before you use the mower for the first
time until you are familiar with controlling the
