Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level surfaces
with the engine switched off and the spark plug connector disconnected.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top performance.
• Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running! Risk: Electric
shock.
• Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has cooled down.
Danger of burns!
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is firmly seated! Risk: Electric shock.
• If the tank has to be emptied, this should be done in the open, and with a
cold engine. Take care to ensure that no fuel is spilt.
For reasons of warranty and safety, only genuine spare parts may be used.
Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.

The following unit parts are included in the package for mower assembly:
• Mower with pre-assembled guide bar
• Grass catch, collecting bag frame
• Tool bag containing the following:
– Operator's manual with Declaration of Conformity
– Warranty conditions (depending on model)
– Diverse attachment parts.
Should a part be missing, please contact your professional dealership.
NOTE
Always remove the spark plug connector before fitting the bar and the
starter cable holder and unfolding the handlebar. Following assembly, at
the latest before starting the engine, push the spark plug connector back
in place.
Raise the handlebar (Illustration A1 + B1 + V4 )
IMPORTANT
Make sure the throttle cables are not kinked or jammed when lifting the
handlebars.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the handlebars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along the
outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical defect of
the equipment.
Pull the handlebar which is collapsed in a Z-shape upwards into place in the following sequence:
– First lift the bottom part of the handlebar A1 , push the ends of this bottom part as far
apart as necessary for the locking cams facing the inside to lock into the respective bore
holes B1 .
Three different handlebar heights can be set.
– Tighten the wing nuts on both sides by hand B1 .
– Lift the top part of the handlebar until the top part and the bottom part of the
handlebar are on the same level.
All models
(Illustration V4 )
– The quick releases for attachment of the top part and the bottom part of the
handlebar are preset by the manufacturer.
1. Pull the quick releases upwards to the handlebar.
2. Tighten the screws hand-tight.
3. Open the quick releases.
4. Tighten the screws by a quarter to a half of a turn.
5. Pull the quick releases up again and check whether the bars are tightly
connected, correct again if necessary.
– Keep this setting. If the tension slacks over time, the screws have to be tightened again.
CAUTION
When you activate the bar height adjustment, when loosening the wing nuts B1 used to
secure the bar bottom to the housing (only loosen sufficiently to ensure that the bar can
be moved freely) and snapping the locking cams out of the drilled holes in the housing, it
is possible that unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur. In addition, this may result
in crushed areas between the bar bottom and the housing. This may result in a risk of
injury!
Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )
– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the screw until both halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Push the motor stop safety control bar (3) onto the top part of the bar (4) and hold it tight,
pull the starter cable (5) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves together (6), tighten the screw again. This prevents the starter
cable popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable is freely
accessible and does not rub against any other parts.
Attaching the grass collector to the mower (Illustration R1 + S1 )
– Insert the collection bag frame with the bar first into the grass catch. Align the upper
seams of the grass catch on the bar.
– Press the holding profile onto the frame of the collection bag frame R1 .
– Open the ejection flap of the mower upwards.
– Lift the grass collection bag on the carrier bar, insert the chute (1) R1 on the collection
bag opening into the ejection flap and hang the grass collection bag with the two side
hooks to the top of the mower housing S1 .
– Fold the ejection flap onto the grass collection bag.
Adjusting the cutting height (Illustration I )
You can set the desired cutting height with the adjustment lever (1) on the left of the mower.
– Pull the lever out of the catch and latch again after a lateral move into the desired position.
– The marking on the left of the housing indicates the cutting height.
