USING THE MOWER
COMBI(*)
Your new lawnmower combines two different
functions in the same machine:
1. “MULTICLIP“
The machine comes equipped with a plug (P), installed in the ejector opening (fig. 31). The machine can be used for ‘Multiclip’ i.e. the blade
finely cuts up the grass during mowing. The grass
then falls into the lawn where it is allowed to rot.
This provides the lawn with nourishment.

To remove the plug, unscrew the wing nut.
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the grass collect or provided (fig. 6, 8).
Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook
the collector onto the rear of the machine.
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collector. Empty the grass onto the compost heap or
spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machineis
also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with o il before
the engine is startedfor the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 9, 10, 11). Fill the engine’scrankcase with 0.55 litres ofgood quality oil
(service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘AD D/MIN’ on the
dipstick.
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 9, 10, 11).
Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew
andpull it upagain. Readoff the oillevel. If the oil
level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’
mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the fillercap or fill with
petrolwhilethe engine is runningor still
warm.
Never completely fill the petroltank. Allow a little room forthepetrol to expand
if necessary.
Preferablyuse environmentally friendly p etrol,i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful to people and nature. It has
e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols
and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
NOTE! If you change to environmentallyfriendly petrolin an enginepreviously
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),
the petrol manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bearin mind that lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
canbeusedwithinthirtydays.
STARTING THE ENGINE
(Briggs & Stratton)
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.

foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejectorwhile the engine is running.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The engine may be very warm immediately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.
This c an cause burn i njur ies.
1. Release the Start/Stop loopG (fig. 15) to stop
the engine. This loop must not be disengaged
(e.g. by setting it in the depressed position
against the handle), as it will not be possible to
stop the engine.

2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the
sparkplugcablefromthesparkplug.Alsoremove the ignition key (*).
Ifthe start/stop loopceasest o work, stop
the engine by removing the spark plug
cable from the spark plu g. Immediately
take the lawn mower to an authorised
workshop for repair.
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I towardsthehandle.Disengagethe drivebyreleasing
the clutch loop I (fig. 15).
SPEED (*)
Do not touch the variator control when
the engine is not running. This can damage the operation of the variator.
Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator c ontrol to one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).
The various p ositions have the following speeds:
Position :approx. 2.8 km/h
Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h
Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h
Position :approx. 4.5 km/h
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the engine before adjusting the
cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade( s) come into contact with uneven g round.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to on e of the nine positions best suited to your lawn (fig. 17).
MAINTENANCE
No servicing may be carried out on the
engine or lawnmower without first removing the spark plug cable from the
spark plug.
Stoptheengineandremovethespark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. during transportation.
If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it
must be tilted so that the engine’s spark
plugfacesupwards. Tiltthe lawnmower
when the fuel tank is empty.
CLEANING
After each use the mower should be cleaned. This
is particularly important on the underside of the
mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose.
The mower will then last longer and work better.
High-pressure washers should not be used.

ENGLISH
GB
If grasshas dried on to the mower casing,it can be
scraped clean.If necessary, touch up theunderside
with paint to prevent rust damage.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
flammable waste products.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the
screws S (fig. 27) and clean around the transmission (*) and drive belts (*) with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels (*) should be
cleanedinternally. Removebothwheels. Cleanthe
gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt
using a brush or compressed air (fig. 18). Replace
the wheel.
COOLING SYSTEM
Before each use, the engine’sc ooling system must
be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges
and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc.
LUBRICATING DR IVE SHAFT (*)
Once per season, the wedge on the drive shaft
shouldbe greased. Remove the wheel (wheel cap,
screw and washer). Then remove the circlip and
washer so that the gear wheel can be removed from
the shaft. Lubricate the wedge with universal
grease.
Reinstall the wedge (the wedge is installed differently on the right and left side, fig. 19-20). Install
the gear wheel so that the L faces out on the left
side and the R faces out on the right side (machine
viewed from the rear).
OIL CHANGE
Replace the oil when the engine is warm
and the fuel tank is emp ty. In order to
prevent burns, take care while dr aining
as the oil is hot.
Change the o il the first time after 5 hours of operation, and subsequently every 50 hours of operation or once a season. Remove the dipstick, tilt the
mower and let the oil run out into a container. Be
careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.
Fill with new oil: Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.
The crankcase holds approx. 0.55 litre. Fill until
the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX“ mark on the dipstick.
AIR FILTER
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
output and increases engine wear.
Briggs & Stratton LS 45 (fig. 21): Carefully remove the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into
the carburettor. Remove the expanded plastic filter
and wash it in liquid detergent and water. Dry the
filter. Pour a littleoil on the filterand squeezeit in.
Reinstall the air cleaner.
Clean the filter every three months or after every
25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More frequently if the engine is working on dusty ground.
Briggs & Stratton XTE (fig. 22):
Loosen the screw and close the cover of the air
cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge.
Knock it against a flat surface. Replace the filter
cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty.
Clean the filter every three months or after every
25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More frequently if the engine is working on dusty ground.
HondaGCV (fig.23): Remove the cover and take
out the filter. Carefully check the filter for holes or
other damage. Abroken or damaged filter mustbe replaced.
To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several
times against a hard surface or use compressed air
from the back of thefilter to blow-clean. Do not try
to brushthefilter clean as this forces dirt down into
the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced.
Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use or
once a season. More frequently if the engine is
working on dusty ground.
SPARK PLUG
Neverremovethesparkplugorspark
plug cable when checking to see if there
is a spark. Always use an approved test
instrument.
Clean the spark plug regularly (every 100 hours of
run time). Use a wire brush for cleaning.
Change the spark plug if the electrodes are excessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The engine
manufacturers recommendations are as follows:
Briggs & Stratton:Champion J19LM (RJ19LM),
spark gap 0.76 mm.
Honda GCV: NGK BPR6ES,
Spark gap 0.7-0.8 mm.

BAT TERY (*)
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and corrosive. It can cause serious corrosion damage etc. Avoid all contact
with skin, eyes and clothing.
In normal use during the season, the battery is
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be
started with the ignition key, it may be because the
battery is 'dead'.
Dismantle the battery by opening the battery cover,disconnecting the terminal on the engine and removing the battery (fig. 24). Connect the battery
charger (provided) to the battery, then connect the
charger to a wall socket and charge for 24 hours
(fig. 25).
After charging, the battery may be reinstalled and
the terminal on the battery connected to the terminal on the motor (fig. 26).
The batterychargermay not be connected directly
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine with the charger as the power source and
the charger could be damaged.
WINTER STORAGE
Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and
+15°C). At least once during the winter storage period, the battery should be maintenance-charged.
Before the start of the season, the battery should be
charged once again for 24 hours.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE (*)
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because the
clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows:
1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be
possible to push the mower without any resistance. If this is not the case, screw in the nipple
T until the mower can be pushed (fig. 28).
2. When the clutch loop is
pressedinapprox.2cm(position 1), there should be some
resistance when pushing the
lawnmower. With the clutch
loopfullypressed in(position
2) it shouldnot be possibleto
push the mower.Unscrew the
nipple T until this position is
achieved.
ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE (*)
If the speed difference between the settings in the
variator control giving the fastest speed (position 3
and ) appears insignificant or nothing at all, the
variator cable might need tightening (fig. 16).
1. Run the mower for a few minutes in position
.
2. If the variator cable shows some play in nipple
Y it needs tightening. Undo the locking nut X
and tighten the cable by unscrewing the nipple
Y until the cable ceases to show any play.
3. Tighten the locking nut X.
NOTE! Do not stretch the cable beyond the point
where there is no play in the nipple Y. If the cable is
over-tightened, the drive belt could break and/or
other parts of the transmission be damaged. When
setting after e.g. belt change, always start with the
nipple Y completely screwed in.
CHANGING BLADES
Wear protective gloves when changing
blades to avoid cutting yourself.
Check the blade system regularly.Check
particularlythe curved area behind the
blade edge for traces of wear.If the blade
shows traces of damage it should be replaced. A worn blade creates imbalance
and can damage the mower.
Always check the blade(s) after a collision. First
disconnect the spark plug cable. If the blade system has been damaged, defective parts should be
replaced. Always use genuine spare parts.
To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 29, 30).
Fitthe newblade sothat thestamped logois turned
up facing the blade holder (not facing the grass).
Reinstallas illustrated.Tightenthe screwproperly.
Tightening torque 40 Nm.
Page 12

ENGLISH
GB
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into obstacles.
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade
screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or damage, even if they fit the machine.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grindstone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature
could cause the blades to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, i t
must then be balanced to avoid vibration damage.
STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark
plug.
Thoroughly clean the mowerand store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICING
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service workshops and by many dealers.
