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.

STARTING THE ENGINE (Illustration D + E )

Only start the engine when standing behind of the mower.
Place the mower on a level surface where the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start of the cutter bar and makes
starting more difficult). Where this is not possible, position the mower in such a way that the cutter is facing diagonally away
from the user, although only as far as absolutely necessary.
– Push and hold the safety control bar (1) on the top tube (2) D .
– Slowly pull the starter cable (3) until resistance is felt, then rapidly pull it out E – the engine begins to run, slowly recoil
the cable.
The engine runs with optimum power at maximum speed, which is required for a clean cutting pattern (engine speed = blade
speed).
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip out of your hand. Risk of injury!
IMPORTANT
The motor only operates when the safety control bracket is pressed against the upper part of the handlebar. As
soon as the safety control bracket is released, this returns to its original position under spring force, the motor
brake is actuated, and the motor and blade come to stop within three seconds.

10 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE (Illustration F )

– Release the safety control bracket (1) F .

11 EMERGENCY STOPPING

ATTENTION
Avoid injury! Engine and blade must stop within 3 seconds. If not, please contact the nearest authorized dealer.
Release the safety control lever and the drive switch bar.
– The mower will stop.
– The blade will stop.
– The engine will stop.
