9. OPERATING THE LAWN MOWER
9.1 START UP OPERATION –
FIGS. 22–24
First, check the machine and add fuel and
lubricating oil.
For 08674, insert the battery (30)into the li-ion
battery port. Pull the engine operation lever (2) in
place and press the electric start button (24).
When the petrol engine starts, release the start
button. The lawn mower is equipped with a
self-propelled system.
Note: If you have a flat battery, then follow the
procedure detailed below for 08673, and start the
mower by using the recoil starter handle.
For 08673, push the priming bulbfully 2–3 times.
Take the pull cord starter and maintain it against
the upper handle. Pull on the recoil starter handle
until you can feel resistance and then pull harshly.
For both models, press the drive lever (1),
the clutch will close and the lawn mower will start
to move with the engine running. To stop the
moving lawn mower, simply release the drive lever
in plenty of time. To stop the engine from running,
simply release the engine operation lever (2).
9.2 MOWING – FIG. 25
Warning!
Never open the rear flap when the grass collection
bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the
engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Never run with the mower and take care when
mowing uneven or rough ground. Mow across
slopes, never up and down. Be careful when
changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do
not mow excessively steep slopes. The best result
will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend
to clog the blade and the grass collection system.
Grass grows at different rates at different times of
the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the
first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only
about one third of the grass height should be cut.
When mowing with mulching, to ensure that the cut
grass can be scattered efficiently, do not cut high
or wet grass. When you have been cutting for
several minutes, stop the mower and clean the
blade and the deck.
To clean the lawn mower underneath, use the
water nozzle (9) by running the motor and it will
spray it clean.
