4.2 Assembly of the

guide handle (Fig. A)

Swivel the folded bottom part

of the guide handle (A1) into the

petrol and brake bowden cables (4/5). Insert the enclosed bolt (8) from the outside through the bore hole of the top of the guide handle (A 2).

The bolt (8) is located firmly by the square bolt head, into the guide handle.

Lift the brake lever (10) and insert the brake bowden cable (11) from the outside into the corre- sponding bore hole (12). The cas- ing of the throttle (9) is now insert- ed onto the bolt (8) on the top of the guide handle (A 2).

Insert washer (7) before fastening the nut (6) (as illustrated).

4.5Fixing the bowden cables (Fig. C)

Insert both petrol and brake bowden cables into the provided bowden cable clip (16) and press them onto the bottom part of the guide handle (A1).

4.6Assembly of the

grass catcher (Fig. A/D) The grass catcher is supplied loose (3 component parts).

The carrying handle (17) is under the protective cover (27).

Unfold the grass catcher (18) and insert the supporting frame (19) through the opening of the grass catcher (18) so that the plastic

If the engine is cold, press the primer (23) several times before starting. If the engine is hot there is no need to use the primer (23).

Press brake lever (10) down to the top of the guide handle (A 2).

Make sure that the blades Aand aerator roller (see 6.3) can run freely before starting the mower. Tilt the mower on the rear wheels by pressing on the guide handle.

closed spaces. There is danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Never start up on a solid sur- faced area (e.g. drives, tarred surfaces etc.) with the aerator roller switched on and a cutting height of less than 55 mm as the aerator springs can have contact with the ground at this setting.

Attention! Be aware that the cutting blades take a while to stop after turning off the engine.

6.1General remarks on the care of lawns

To keep your lawn well-groomed we recommend cutting it regularly once a week. Depending on the growth of moss and weeds, switch on the aerator cylinder as required.

With frequent mowing and aerat- ing the lawn becomes healthy and strong.

mower in rows as straight as pos- sible. Ensure that the rows over- lap by a few centimetres so that no uncut strips are left behind.

Guide the Hattrick in walking pace only.

Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. G)

The petrol Hattrick lawn mower has a central cutting height ad-

Switching the aerator cylinder on/off

Switch off the engine before switching the aerator cylinder on or off.

To switch on the aerator cylinder set the rotary switch (26) to position “I”.

5. Initial operation (Fig. E/F)

Short clippings (up to a length of about 1 cm) can be left on the lawn. Longer clippings must be removed to prevent the lawn

justment knob (24). In front of the knob (24) the cutting height is displayed (25) increments of 5 mm.

To switch it off set the rotary switch (26) to position “0”.

Remarks on mowing with the aerator cylinder switched on

5.1Preparation for initial operation (Fig. E)

For environmental and Atransport safety reasons the petrol Hattrick lawn mower is supplied without motor oil. Therefore, the crankcase of the engine must be filled with

0.6l motor oil (SAE 30 or 10W30).

Unscrew the oil sealing cap (21) and fill with 0.6 l of SAE 30 quality oil.

The oil level can be checked

(when engine is switched off) by means of the oil dip stick (22)

integrated in the oil sealing cap (21). The oil level must be bet- ween the ADD and FULL mark.

Always check the oil level before mowing.

The recommended fuel is unleaded two-stroke petrol.

Warning! Fuel is highly Ainflammable. Fuel must be stored only in containers authorised for the purpose.

The fuel must be filled only outdoors; do not smoke during filling. Fill with petrol prior to use; the petrol cap must not be

removed and no petrol may be added if the engine is running or is hot. If petrol is spilled dur- ing filling, the engine must not be started until the spilled petrol has been wiped up and the mower has been removed from the area where the fuel was spilled. No attempt must be made to switch on the igni- tion until the petrol vapours have dispersed.

To safeguard against fire, keep grass, leaves, grease and oil away from engine and ex- haust.

becoming yellow or matted.

Cut and aerate the lawn for the first time in spring when the grass begins to grow and can be walked on. If the grass has grown too long, first cut it lengthwise with

a high cutting setting (without switching on the aerator cylinder) and then cut at right angles with the desired cutting setting, with the aerator cylinder (optional) switched on.

6.2Mowing (Fig. G - I)

Cut only with sharp blades so that the grass does not fray and the lawn does not turn yellow.

To obtain a clean cutting result guide the petrol Hattrick lawn

Cutting height range 30 - 80 mm

Note:

When working on slopes, al- ways mow at right angles to the slope. To prevent the petrol Hattrick lawn mower from slid- ing way, point it slightly uphill.

Take extra care when changing direction on slopes.

For safety reasons, slopes with a gradient of more than 15° must not be mowed.

Always keep the under side of the mower casing clean and remove grass deposits. De- posits complicate the start-up procedure and affect the cut- ting result as well as discharge of grass clippings.

The aerator cylinder can be used for creating drainage, removing matting and moss in the lawn as well as for cutting flat-rooting weeds.

If the grass is particularly long due to infrequent lawn care (e.g. after holidays), disengage the aerator cylinder, and pre-cut with the maximum cutting height

to prevent overload of the lawn mower.

At the end of the cutting row or for turning around, tilt the mower on the rear wheels by pressing on the guide handle. This way you can turn it easily with the aerator cylinder run- ning free.
