OVERLOADING THE MOTOR (*)
The lawn mower has an integrated overload protec-
tor. If this trips the motor will not start. Let the motor
cool for 2 minutes before restarting.
If the mower still does not start, contact an author-
ised service workshop.
DRIVE (*)
Connect the drive by pressing in the clutch lever to-
wards the handle bar. Disconnect the drive by re-
leasing the clutch lever (fig. 5).
MOWING TIPS
Always mowe so the cable is laid out behind you on
the grass (fig. 6).
Never cross the cable! Should this happen
by accident, stop the motor, pull out the
plug and check if the cable is damaged.
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
stones toys and other hard objects.
Empty the grass collector in good time so that the
grass deflector does not get blocked and reduce
grass collection capacity.
To avoid overloading the motor, do not push the
mower too quickly in long grass.
Always use a well sharpened blade.
Do not use the mower when it is raining or when the
grass is wet.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
When adjusting the cutting height -
always first disconnect the plug.
The mower is fitted with a single lever control for
adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever outwards
and adjust the cutting height to the position which is
most suitable for your lawn (fig. 8).
CLEANING
In order to function properly the motor must be ef-
fectively cooled. This is done by a fan which sucks
in air at the air intake on the motor casing (fig. 9).
To make sure that the cooling system functions
properly the air intake must be thoroughly cleaned
if it has become blocked.
The machine should be cleaned each time after use.
For best possible mowing results it is important that
the underside of the chassis is kept clean. Use a
brush or blow with compressed air.
ENGLISH
The machine must not be washed down with water.
CLUTCH CABLE (*)
If the clutch lever is pressed in but the mower still
does not move, the clutch cable must be adjusted.
Loosen the cable attachment and move it down-
wards to stretch the clutch cable (fig. 10). Do not
stretch the cable so hard that the clutch lever, cable
or transmission risks being damaged.
CHANGING BLADE
You must never service the motor or the
lawn mower before first shutting off the
motor and pulling out the plug.
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts
when changing blades/knifeblades.
Blunt and damaged blades tear off the grass and
spoil the look of the lawn after mowing. New, well
sharpened blades cut the grass cleanly, so that the
lawn looks green and fresh even after mowing.
To change the blade, loosen the blade bolt. Mount
the new blade so that it sits in the same way as the
old one and tighten the blade bolt (fig. 11). Tighten-
ing torque: 20 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade bolt should also
be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or motor caused by running into obsta-
cles.
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade bolt, always use original spare parts. Non-au-
thentic spare parts could lead to the risk of personal
injury or damage, even if they fit the machine.
SHARPENING THE BLADE
Sharpening of the blade must be done by wet meth-
od grinding, using a whetstone or a grindstone.
For the sake of safety, the blade should not be sharp-
ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature
could cause the blade to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-
bration damage (fig. 12).
STORAGE
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
