erly. Ensure that the tension cable can be smoothly
operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way).
• Drive lever (2): If you press this the clutch for the
drive will be closed and the lawnmower will start
to move with the motor running. Release the drive
lever in good time to stop the moving lawnmower.
