5. Betrieb
Understand the various functions and controls for effective lawn mowing.
5.1 Motor starten
- Ensure the spark plug wire is connected.
- Push the primer bulb (if equipped) 3-5 times.
- Bewegen Sie den Gashebel in die Position „START“ oder „CHOKE“.
- Firmly pull the starter cord until the engine starts.
- Once started, move the throttle lever to the 'RUN' position.
5.2 Einstellen der Schnitthöhe
The cutting height can be centrally adjusted to 7 levels, ranging from 25 mm to 75 mm. Locate the height adjustment lever on the side of the mower deck and move it to the desired position. Always adjust the height with the engine off.
5.3 Mähfunktionen (4-in-1)
- Sammeln: Attach the 60L grass collector bag to the rear discharge opening.
- Mulchen: Insert the mulching plug into the rear discharge opening and remove the grass collector. The special mulching blade will cut grass into fine pieces, returning nutrients to the lawn.
- Seitenauswurf: Attach the side discharge chute to the side opening and remove the grass collector. This is ideal for taller grass where collection or mulching is not preferred.
- Heckauswurf: Operate without the grass collector or mulching plug, allowing clippings to be discharged from the rear.
5.4 Einschalten des Eigenantriebs
To engage the self-propulsion, squeeze the drive lever on the handle. Release the lever to disengage the drive. The rear-wheel drive system makes mowing easier, especially on larger areas or slight inclines.
5.5 Abstellen des Motors
Release the engine brake lever (usually located on the handle) to stop the engine. For emergency stops, simply release this lever.


6. Wartung
Regelmäßige Wartung gewährleistet die Langlebigkeit und optimale Leistung Ihres Rasenmähers.
6.1 EasyClean System
The integrated EasyClean system allows for intuitive and easy cleaning of the mower deck after use or at the end of the mowing season. Connect a garden hose to the EasyClean port, start the engine, and let the rotating blade clean the underside of the deck. Always follow safety guidelines during this process.
6.2 Klingenpflege
Inspect the blade regularly for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting performance and excessive vibration. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before inspecting or working on the blade.
6.3 Motorwartung
- Ölwechsel: Wechseln Sie das Motoröl nach den ersten 5 Betriebsstunden, danach alle 25 Betriebsstunden oder jährlich, je nachdem, was zuerst eintritt.
- Luftfilter: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions, to ensure proper engine breathing.
- Zündkerze: Die Zündkerze sollte jährlich geprüft und gereinigt werden. Verschleiß oder Verschmutzungen sind zu beheben.
