one of the holes to suit the required height of the
push bar. Important: The identical height must be
set on both sides. Make sure that the cables
which are fastened later are not in the way.
2. Fasten the top push bar to the bottom push bar
using a screw (Fig. 3b/Item 16) and a star nut
(Fig. 3b/Item 12) on each side.
3. Insert the grip of the starter cable (Fig. 3c/Item 4)
into the hook provided for that purpose as shown
in Fig. 3c.
4. Fasten the cable to the push bar with the supplied
cable clips (Fig. 3d/Item 13).
5. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4/Item 8) with one hand
and hook in the grass bag (Fig. 4/Item 7) as
shown in Fig. 4.
6.2 Setting the cutting height (Fig. 6)
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. 6/Item 9). Up to 5 different cutting heights
can be selected.
Pull the adjuster lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever will snap into the desired
position.

7. Operation

Note:
For detailed information on starting the engine,
refer to the enclosed manual from Briggs &
Stratton.
Important.
The engine does not come with oil in it.
Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the
engine. You will also need to fill in petrol, as this
is also not supplied upon delivery.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1) 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.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of
adjustment 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.
Note:
1. Engine brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1):
Use the lever to stop the engine. When you
release the lever the engine and the blade stop
automatically. To mow, hold the lever in the
working position (Fig. 5b). 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. Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as
the engine is started.
Important:
Before you start the engine, move the motor
brake several times to be sure that the stop
cable is properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is
optimal for cutting and blowing grass into the
basket and is designed to provide many years of
use.
3. Check the oil level.
4. Fill the tank with petrol when it is empty, using a
funnel and measuring vessel. 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.
7.1 Before mowing
Important information
1. Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or
damaged in any other way must be immediately
exchanged for a genuine Einhell replacement
blade.
3. Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in
the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring
jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4. Read and follow in the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equipment.
Store the manual in a place where it can be
