28
3. Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary
with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the
product - refer to the engine operator’s manual (32).
4. Stop the engine immediately if you are disturbed while working by other people
entering the working area. Always let the blades (27) come to a complete stop
before leaving the product unattended.
02 Cutting height adjustment
WARNING! Before adjusting the cutting height, stop the engine
and wait until the blade (27) comes to a complete stop.
Thisproductcanbeadjustedto7di󰀨erentheightsettings.Neworthickgrassmay
require a higher cutting height and a narrower cutting path.
1. Push the lever for cutting height adjustment (18) towards the wheel (14) (Fig. 23,
step 1), and then move it forward or backward to the desired cutting height
(Fig. 23, step 2).
2. Release the lever (18) and ensure it engages into place properly.
NOTE: If you are not sure what cutting height should be selected, start
with a maximum height and check the appearance of the lawn after
mowing a small area. Adjust the setting if necessary.
WARNING! Ensure that the lever (18) engages between two of the
grooves!
03 Starting
WARNING! Before starting, place the product on a stable, level surface
free of high grass! Clean the underside of the product!
Start the engine carefully according to instructions. Keep your feet well
away from the blade (27).
Stay ready. The product starts moving forward once you pull the drive
bar (3) towards the handle (2).
Do not tilt the product when starting the engine.
29
1. Pull the brake clutch (1) towards the handle (2) and hold it in position.

3. Place the recoil starter handle (23) onto the hook (23a) located on the right-hand
side of the upper handle bar (4) (Fig. 20).
4. Pull the recoil starter handle (23) lightly until you feel resistance then pull it rapidly.
Do it repeatedly until the engine starts (Fig. 19).
5. During operation rest the recoil starter handle (23) onto the hook (23a) (Fig. 20).
6. Hold the brake clutch (1) and pull the drive bar (3) towards the handle (2) (Fig. 18).
The product moves forward and starts mowing.
WARNING! The starting position should be as described in the instruction
manual.Fig.24illustratesthedenedstartingposition.Theoperator
should start the engine behind the handle (2). Do not start the engine
while standing on the side of the product as shown on Fig. 25.
NOTE:Iftheenginedoesnotstart,itmaybeooded.Floodingiscaused
by too much fuel injected into the combustion chamber and can prevent
theenginefromstarting.Toresolveoodingfollowthebelowprocedure:
1. Remove the spark plug located under the spark plug connector (13)
and dry it - see the separate engine operator’s manual (32).
2.Waitfor10minutesuntilfuelvapoursandretthesparkplug.Clean
up any spilt fuel and move the product at least 3 metres away before
startingtheenginetoavoidanyaccidentalre.
3. Start the engine.
04 Stopping
1. Push the speed lever (5) back to the 1 setting, and release the drive bar (3) (Fig. 26).
2. Release the brake clutch (1) to stop the engine and blade (27) (Fig. 26).
05 Mowing
NOTE: Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew. Wet grass
may form clumps which interfere with the mulching action and reduce
runtime. The best time to mow grass is late afternoon when the grass is
dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Self-propelled function
Use the self-propelled function as assistance during operation; the rear wheels (14)
are automatically driven by the engine; you do not need to push the product manually.
1. When the engine is running, pull the drive bar (3) towards the handle (2) to engage

General tips
1. Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires or other objects that could
damage the product or its engine.
2. Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underbody of the product,
preventing the proper discharge of grass clippings, and it could also cause you to
slip and fall.
3. Nevercuto󰀨morethanone-thirdofthetotallengthofthegrassforahealthylawn.
In the autumn, lawns should only be cut as long as there is growth.
4. Slowly push the product forward. If needed, use the self-propelled function for
assistance.
5. Mowinslightlyoverlappingrows.Themoste󰀨ectivepatternformowinglawnsis
straight lines along one of the sides. This keeps the rows even and ensures that
all the lawn is cut without missing any spots (Fig. 27).
6. Circlearoundowerbeds.Whenreachingaowerbedinthemiddleofthelawn,
cut a row or two around the circumference of the bed.
7. Pay particular attention when changing direction.
8. Empty the grass catcher (21) regularly.
WARNING! Extensive vibration of the product during operation is an
indication of damage! Stop the engine immediately. The product should
be promptly inspected and repaired!

08 Underbody and cutting means
WARNING! Wear protective gloves when working on the cutting
means (27) and close to it! Use proper tools to remove debris, e.g. a
wooden stick! Never use your bare hands!
Always use original spare parts for replacement. The cutting means
must be replaced by an identical type with the reference number
DAYE 2105200348. Do not attach any other type of cutting means (27)!
The replacement of the cutting means (27) should be done by an
experienced operator! Rework or sharpening blades is not recommended
unless it is done by a repair service or a similarly specialist!
NOTE:We strongly recommend jacking the product when performing
inspection and work on the cutting means (27). Avoid tilting the product
in order to prevent fuel and oil leakages.
1. Keep the underbody and cutting means (27) clean and free of debris. Remove
clippings from the rear discharge chute (29).
2. Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness before the operation. After
prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the cutting means (27) will
become worn and lose some of the original shape. The cutting will be
reduced, and the cutting means (27) should be replaced.
3. Keep the cutting means (27) sharp to ensure a good cutting performance. Replace
a worn or damaged cutting means with a new one of the same type or have it
sharpened by a specialist.
4. If jacking the product is not possible, tilt it to the right side so that the fuel tank
cap (11) side is up. This helps to prevent fuel leakage and harder starting due to
of the carburettor.
5. Loosen the hex bolt (27e) anti-clockwise and remove it together with the locking
(27d), washer (27c) cutting means (27), and ring (27b) (Fig. A).
6. Replace the cutting means (27) with a new one of the same type. Slide the ring
(27b) into the slot on the spindle (27a) and then the cutting means (29), washer
(27c), locking (27d) and hex bolt (27e). Tighten the hex bolt clockwise with
40-45 Nm force to ensure safe operation of the product (Fig. A).
DANGER! If the cutting means (27) are not torqued properly, they could
become loose and be thrown from the product and seriously hurt or kill
the operator or bystanders.
35
NOTE:Replace the cutting means (27) after 50 hours of mowing,
or 2 years whichever is sooner regardless of condition. If the cutting
means (27) is cracked or damaged, replace it immediately.
7. Lubricate the cutting means (27) after each use to prolong their life span. Apply
lubrication oil/grease along the edges of the cutting means (27).
