STOPPING THE ENGINE
Themotormaybeverywarmimmedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.
1. Release Start/Stop brace G to stop the engine
(fig. 10, 11). This brace must not be disengaged
(e.g. through fixing it in the depressed position
against the steering), as the engine cannot be
stopped.
Honda: Close the fuel cock.
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove
the lead from the spark plug.
Multiclip 46 SE: Also remove the starter key.
If the start/stop loop no longer works,
stop the engine by removing the lead
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawn mower to an authorised work-
shop for repairs.
MOWING TIPS
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
stones toys and other hard objects.
A machine with MULCHER system cuts the grass,
chops it finely and then blows it down in the lawn.
The grass clippings need not to be collected.
The following rules should be observed to give
best MULCHER effect:
1. Use a high engine speed (full throttle).
2. Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than
1/3rd of the length should be cut off.
3. Always keep it clean under the mower casing.
4. Always use a well sharpened blade.
5. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The grass
then sticks to the underside of the casing, giving
poor mowing results.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the motor before adjusting the
cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
The mower has a quick setting with 4 cutting
heights on each wheel.
Note! the height setting works in the opposite di-
rection on the back axle respective front axle.
Make sure you set the same cutting height on all
wheels (fig. 16).
MAINTENANCE

grass cutter unit without first switching
off the motor and removing the spark
plug cable from the spark plug.
Multiclip 46 SE: No service measures
should be carried out on the engine or
lawn mower if the battery terminal is
not disconnected from the engine termi-
nal (fig. 5).
Stop the motor and remove the spark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. with transportation.
If the machine has to be inclined when
replacing blades, changing oil, cleaning,
etc., you should slacken the locking
knobs and move the steering handle for-
wards. Raise the mower backwards to
allow the machine to rest on the steering
brace as shown in (fig. 17).
CLEANING
After each time it is used the mower should be
cleaned. This is particularly important on the un-
derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the
garden hose. The mower will then last longer and
function better.
Note! High pressure washing units should not be
used. If grass has dried on to the cutterhead casing
it can be removed by scraping. If necessary, give
the underside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
flammable waste products.
Note that you should clean the area under the tim-
ing gear casing once or twice a year. Set at the low-
est mowing height. Slacken the screws and remove
the timing gear casing (fig. 18). Clean with a brush
or compressed air.
