The lawn mower is delivered unassembled. The
complete push bar and the grass basket must be
assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow
the operating instructions step-by-step and use
the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily
assemble the equipment.
Fitting the wheels (Fig. 3a and b)
Take a rear wheel (Fig. 2/Item 11) and push it
onto the axle as shown in Fig. 3a. Then slide a
GB
washer (Fig. 2/Item 15) onto the axle and fasten
all parts with the supplied split pin (Fig. 2/Item 14)
as shown in Fig. 3a. Finally, press the wheel cap
(Fig. 2/Item 12) onto the wheel as shown in Fig.
3b. Proceed in exactly the same way on the other
side.
Mounting the push bar (Fig. 4 to 7).
Mount a bottom push bar (Fig. 2/Item 2) onto the
screw provided for it and secure everything with
a wing nut (Fig. 2/Item 13) as shown in Fig. 4.
Proceed in the same way on the other side. When
you fi t the top push bar you can decide the height
of the push bar by selecting the appropriate fas-
tening hole (Fig. 5). Finally, secure the top push
bar to the bottom push bar as shown in Fig. 6.
Now you can attach the motor cable to the push
bar (Fig. 7/Item A) using the cable clips (Fig. 2/
Item 16).
Mounting the grass basket
(see Figs. 8a and b)
Press the grass box handle (Fig. 8a/Item 19)
into the grass basket as shown in Fig. 8a. Before
you fi t the grass basket you must ensure that the
motor is switched off and the blade is not rotating.
Lift the ejector fl ap (Fig. 8b/Item 3) with one hand.
With the other hand, hold the grass basket by the
handle and hook it in from above (Fig. 8b).
Filling level indicator of the grass collector
The grass collector is equipped with a fi lling level
indicator (Fig. 2/Item 18) 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.
Adjusting the cutting height
Important!
Adjust the cutting height only when the motor is
switched off and the power cable has been dis-
connected.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners
are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace
blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry out this
check, fi rst switch off the motor and pull out the
power plug.
