STOPPING THE ENGINE

The motor may be very warm immedi- ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it can cause burns and injury.

1.Release Start/Stop brace G to stop the engine (fig. 10, 11). This brace must not be disengaged (e.g. through fixing it in the depressed position against the steering), as the engine cannot be stopped.

Honda: Close the fuel cock.

2.If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove the lead from the spark plug.

Multiclip 46 SE: Also remove the starter key.

If the start/stop loop no longer works, stop the engine by removing the lead from the spark plug. Immediately take the lawn mower to an authorised work- shop for repairs.

MOWING TIPS

Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any stones toys and other hard objects.

A machine with MULCHER system cuts the grass, chops it finely and then blows it down in the lawn. The grass clippings need not to be collected.

The following rules should be observed to give best MULCHER effect:

1.Use a high engine speed (full throttle).

2.Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than 1/3rd of the length should be cut off.

3.Always keep it clean under the mower casing.

4.Always use a well sharpened blade.

5.Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The grass then sticks to the underside of the casing, giving poor mowing results.

Note! the height setting works in the opposite di- rection on the back axle respective front axle. Make sure you set the same cutting height on all wheels (fig. 16).

MAINTENANCE

No service is to be made on the motor or grass cutter unit without first switching off the motor and removing the spark plug cable from the spark plug.

Multiclip 46 SE: No service measures should be carried out on the engine or lawn mower if the battery terminal is not disconnected from the engine termi- nal (fig. 5).

Stop the motor and remove the spark plug cable if the mower is to be lifted, e.g. with transportation.

If the machine has to be inclined when replacing blades, changing oil, cleaning, etc., you should slacken the locking knobs and move the steering handle for- wards. Raise the mower backwards to allow the machine to rest on the steering brace as shown in (fig. 17).

CLEANING

After each time it is used the mower should be cleaned. This is particularly important on the un- derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the garden hose. The mower will then last longer and function better.

Note! High pressure washing units should not be used. If grass has dried on to the cutterhead casing it can be removed by scraping. If necessary, give the underside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.

Clean the silencer and the surrounding area regularly to remove grass, dirt and flammable waste products.

CUTTING HEIGHT

Shut off the motor before adjusting the cutting height.

Do not set the cutting height so low that the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.

The mower has a quick setting with 4 cutting heights on each wheel.

Note that you should clean the area under the tim- ing gear casing once or twice a year. Set at the low- est mowing height. Slacken the screws and remove the timing gear casing (fig. 18). Clean with a brush or compressed air.
