SYMBOLS
The following symbols are displayed on the ma-
chine in order to remind you about the safety pre-
cautions and attention necessary when using the
machine.
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware of
objects being flung out.
Warning! Before starting any repair work,
disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Warning! Keep the extension cord away
from the cutting deck.
Warning! Do not put hands or feet under the
cover of the machine when it is running.
Warning! The blades continue to rotate
even after the machine has been switched
off.
ASSEMBLING
HANDLEBAR
1. Set the highest cutting height (position 4, see also
under heading “CUTTING HEIGHT”)
2. The parts used for installation of the lower sec-
tion of the steering handle are installed in a pack-
age. Remove the parts from the lower hole on the
chassis. Then fold the lower section of the steer-
ing handle up and fit the parts.NOTE that the
washer A should be fitted between the screw and
the plastic bushing (fig. 1).
3. Fold the upper section of the steering handle up
and tighten the lock knobs (fig. 2).
USING THE MOWER
CONNECTING
Connect the machine to an earthed, single phase
electric socket. The circuit must be protected by a
10A slow fuse.
Only use an extension cable that is approved for
outdoor use with a maximum length of 50 m. It
should not be lighter than type 245 IEC 53
(H05RR-F) or 227 IEC 53 (H05VV-F). If you are
unsure of anything, please contact your dealer.
Check that the extension cable is not damaged, each
time before using the machine. The machine may
not be used if the extension cable is damaged.Re-
lieve the extension cable in the load relief unit on the
steering handle (fig. 3, 4).
We recommend that you use an earth leakage cir-
cuit breaker that will cut off the power if anything
happens to the machine or the extension lead. If
you use a portable earth leakage circuit breaker
this must be fitted between the electric socket and
the extension lead.Test the operation of the earth
leakage circuit breaker before use.
If uncertain, contact your retailer.
Through poor conditions of the electrical mains,
short voltage drops can appear when starting the
equipment. This can influence other equipment
(e.g. blinking of a lamp).
If the mains-impedance Z
max
< 0,28+j0,17 ohm
such disturbances are not probable.
START/STOP OF ENGINE
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
When starting up the motor, press the handlebar to
lift the front wheels and in that way reduce the re-
sistance from the grass at the starting moment.
Do not engage and disengage the motor repeatedly
since this will build up heat because of the high cur-
rent when starting, and this could, consequently,
cause motor damages.
Press the block button 1. Start the engine by press-
ing in the start handle 2 against the steering (fig. 5).
Release the start handle to stop the engine.
