4. If the oil level is equal to or lower than the minimum marking, fill oil of the recom-
mended grade to the top mark. Do not overfill.
5. Then reinstall the oil filler lid/dipstick.
6.1.3 Fill fuel
Gasoline is easily flammable.
Read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Chapter 2 of this guide) in
full.
USE UNLEADED GASOLINE with an octane number of 92 or higher. This engine is designed
to run on unleaded petrol. Unleaded gasoline produces less deposits on the engine and
spark plug and ensures a longer service life of the exhaust system.
The motor is E10-compatible. However, E15 or E85 may not be used.
Never use a mixture of oil and gasoline. Never use Diesel.
Turn off the engine and keep ignition sources and open fire away. Refill outddors only.
Wipe upoverfilled gasoline immediately.
Fuel can damage paints or plastic. Do not let gasoline splash during refilling. Damage
caused by spilled gasoline is not covered by the warranty. Never use stale or contami-
nated gasoline. Do not allow dirt or water to enter the tank.
1. Remove the screw cap from the fuel tank.
2. Fill the tank with gasoline up to the level limit on the neck of the tank.
3. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled gasoline before starting the engine.
4. Turn the cap tightly.

The lever position on the far right is only for maximum space-saving stowage and
transport.
Height means distance of the blade to the ground. As a result,
more lawn can be cut off when the wheels sink in, for example on moss.

To prevent accidental starting of the lawn mower, the device
has an engine brake #2, which must be retracted before
switching on the engine. If the brake lever is released, it must
return to the starting position; at this time, the motor switches
off automatically and the blade comes to an immediate stop.
Check the tension of lever #2 before each start. Make sure the
wire rope hoist is working smoothly (i.e. it is not tangled or
knotted).
Your lawn mower is designed for mowing regular grass (up to
250 mm).
Do not try to mow exceptionally tall dry grass or piles of leaves.
Residues could accumulate on the housing or come into contact
with the engine exhaust gases, which in turn can cause fire
hazards.
Before each attempt to start, make sure that the spark plug plug connector (10) is se-
curely plugged in.
