IMPORTANT
Mowing at the lowest cutting height should only be carried out on level and plane lawns!
Please observe that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for optimal conditions. If you select cutting
height that is too low, the turf can be damaged and under certain circumstances it can even be destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, also the moving speed influences the cutting pattern and collection result. Adapt the
cutting height and moving speed to the grass height to be cut.

8 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check that all connections and the spark plug connector are fitted firmly. Tighten the screws if necessary! In particular make
sure that the cutter bar is fitted correctly (see Chapter "Maintenance of the blade").
The blade attachment screw should always be fitted and tightened by a specialist workshop. If the blade attachment screw is
too tight or too loose, the blade clutch and blade can be damaged or become detached, which can cause severe injury.
Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly and are not damaged.

Filling with oil (Illustration Y1 )

IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Engine is delivered without oil. You must add oil before running the engine.
Before starting the mower the first time fill motor oil (for quantity and type, see technical data) into this opening with a funnel
after unscrewing the dipstick.
– Park mower on a level surface.
– Pour in oil slowly into the oil filler. Do not pour in too much oil.
– Check the oil level.
Remove the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick into oil filler and re-tighten. Then remove
the dipstick once again and read off the oil level. The oil must be between the marks "ADD" and "FULL". Add oil if
necessary. However the oil level should not be above "FULL" mark.
Replace oil dipstick and retighten.
– After filling up for the first time remove the "NO OIL" sign on top of the engine.
