Observe the peripheral speed, refer to the "Technical data"! ∗ The arbor diameter of the cutting blade must precisely fit the shaft to ensure smooth blade running.
Operation Place an intermediate layer (disc label) under each faceplate when using bakelite-bonded cutting discs. Attach cutting blade and spring washer on the shaft. Tighten the hexagonal bolt firmly. To do this, apply counter pressu- re on the spanner surfaces of the cutting shaft. Note: To assemble cutting disc on right side tighten nut in anti- clockwise direction (left-handed thread).
Operation Disconnect the water hose. Fold up the cutting blade guard (1). Loosen the tightening nut. Hold cutting shaft with spanner at span- ner surfaces. Fold down the cutting blade guard. Note: To disassemble cutting disc from right side loosen nut in clockwise direction (left-handed thread).
Operation Note: Carry out the following additional conversions if needed: ∗ Loosen screws (27), turn guide wheel around and then reassemble screws (27). ∗ Loosen screws (28), turn around dirt catcher and then reassemble screws (28). Checking the motor before starting 3.9.1 Engine oil Switch off the engine.
Operation 3.10 Starting the engine The cutting blade must not be in contact with the ground. Open the fuel tap. Move the choke lever to the CLOSE positio. Note: If the engine is warm or the air temperature is high, move the con- trol lever away from the Choke postion as soon as the engine starts.

Maintenance Cleaning the air cleaner A dirty air cleaner obstructs the flow of air to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunctions, clean the air cleaner on a regular basis. Clean the filter more frequently if the engine is operated in an extremely dusty environment.
Maintenance Cleaning the filter cup Close the fuel tap. Remove the filter cup with the o-ring and wash it out with non-combustible and low-flammable solvent. Allow it to completely dry, then reinstall it and tighten it firmly. Open the fuel tap and check for leaks.
Maintenance Tightening the belt Check the belt in the course of the weekly engine maintenance and retighten it as follows, if necessary:: 1. Remove V-belt guard. 2. Loosen counter nut (31). 3. Loosen the fastening screws (32) until the V-belt’s take-up can be shifted without play.
Maintenance Changing the belt 1. Disassemble V-belt guard (above and below) and cutting disc guard. 2. Take tension off V-belts. To do this loosen the counter nut (31), the tensioning nut (33) as well as the fastening screws (32). Only loosen the fastening screws so far that the V-belt’s take-up can be moved freely without play.
Maintenance Checking the spark plug 0,7 - 0,8 mm ∗ Remove any soot deposits from the electrodes of the spark plug using a spark plug cleaner or a wire brush. ∗ Check the spark plug gap and set it to 0.7 - 0.8 mm, if necessary. ∗...
