5. Before starting the equipment

The lawn mower is delivered partly assembled.
The push bar and the grass basket must be as-
sembled before using the lawn mower. Follow the
instructions step by step and refer to the pictures
when assembling.
Important! Required assembly parts (screws,
cable guides, etc.) or functional parts (e.g. plugs,
wrenches, etc.) can be found in the molded parts
of the packaging or on the equipment.
There are three contacts on the right-hand teeth
of the handlebar adjustment facility (Fig. 3/Item
D), as well as on the right-hand push bar (Fig. 3/
Item E). The contacts are for connecting the elec-
trical connections of the motor and switching bar.
To avoid a loose connection while mowing, which
would cause the motor to stop, the contacts on
the handlebar adjustment facility and the push
bar must be pressed fi rmly together. If necessary,
turn the quick-release lever on the right-hand side
in a clockwise direction a little after fl ipping it back
into the closed position.
Fitting the push bar
Use the quick-tightening screws (Fig. 2/Item 16)
to fasten the push bar (Fig. 4/Item 13) to the teeth
of the handlebar adjustment facility. If necessary,
turn the quick-tightening screw back suffi ciently
on the thread so that the quick-release lever (Fig.
4/Item 16a) can then still be fl ipped down towards
the back.
You can adjust the angle of the long handle as a
whole by fl ipping up the two quick-release levers
(Fig. 5/Item 16a), with three settings available
for the angle (Fig. 5). Only these three positions
are available. As you do this, make sure that both
sides are set to the same position. To secure the
push bar again, fl ip the two quick-release levers
back into the closed position.
Flipping up the two tube locks (Fig. 6/Item 4) will
enable you to adjust the length of the upper push
bar (Fig. 6/Item 1). As you do this, make sure that
both sides are set to the same position. To secure
the upper push bar again, fl ip the two tube locks

back into the closed position.
Fitting the catch basket
Finally, press the carry-handle (Fig. 7/Item 5b)
onto the top part of the housing of the catch bas-
ket. During assembly, make sure that there is an
audible click when you fi t the individual parts of
the housing together. Before you fi t the catch bas-
ket you must ensure that the motor is switched
off and the blade is not rotating. Lift the ejector
fl ap (Fig. 8/Item 7) with one hand. Using the other
hand, grab onto the basket by the handle and
hang it in from the top.
Filling level indicator of the grass collector
The grass collector is equipped with a fi lling level
indicator (Fig. 9/Item 12). which is opened by the
airfl ow that the lawn mower generates during ope-
ration. If the fl ap closes during mowing, the grass
collecting device is full and must be emptied. To
ensure the proper functioning of the fi lling level
indicator, the holes under the fl ap must always be
kept clean and passable.
Using the mulching adapter (Fig. 10)
In mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread
back onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather
and dispose of the grass.
Important! Mulching is only possible if the lawn
is relatively short. Mow the lawn regularly in order
to obtain a thin layer of mulch.
Warning!
Insert the mulching adapter only when the mo-
tor is switched off and the safety plug has been
pulled out.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the
catch bag, slide the mulching adapter (Fig. 10/
Item 15) through the ejector opening and close
the ejector fl ap again.
Adjusting the cutting height
Caution!
Adjust the cutting height only when the machine
has been switched off and the safety plug has
been pulled out.
The cutting height is adjusted as follows (see Fig.
11):
1. Push the lever (7) outwards.
2. Set the lever (7) to the desired cutting height.
3. Release the lever (7) and check that it is se-
curely seated in the lock.
