Check that the grass ejection channel is

• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
• Fit the hose connection to the mower and
turn the tap on. (Fig. 24)
• Start the mower and switch off again after
about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar
throws the water onto the bottom of the

nection .

sharp objects).

• Empty the petrol tank.
• Always let the engine run until it has used
up the remainder of petrol in the tank.
• Empty the engine oil from the warm en-
gine.
• Remove the spark plug boot from the
spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and
the housing.
• Remove the start tension cable (17) from
the hook. Loosen the quick-release lever

• Wedge a few layers of corrugated card-
board between the upper and lower push
bars and the engine in order to prevent
any chafing.

Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a
dark, dry and frost-free place that is inac-
cessible to children. The optimum storage
temperature lies between 5 and 30 ˚C.
Store the tool in its original packaging.
Cover the tool to protect it from dust or mois-
ture. Store the operating manual with the
tool.
• Never store the mower (with petrol in the
tank) inside a building in which petrol
fumes could come into contact with open
flames or sparks.
• Allow the motor to cool before you put the
lawn mower in an enclosed area.
• In order to avoid fire hazards, keep the en-
gine, exhaust and the area around the fuel
tank free from grass, leaves and leaking
grease (oil).
Preparing the mower for long-term stor-
age
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in
enclosed areas, near fire or when smoking.
Petrol fumes can cause explosions and fire.
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction
pump.

maining petrol has been used up.
• Change the oil at the end of every season.
To do so, remove the used engine oil from
a warm engine and refill with fresh oil.
• Remove the spark plug from the cylinder
head.
• Fill the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil
from an oil can.
• Slowly pull back the starter handle, which
will bathe the cylinder wall with oil. Screw
the spark plug back in.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and
the housing.
• Be sure to clean the entire machine to pro-
tect the paint.
• Store the machine in a well-ventilated
place.
