[. . . ] Setting cutting height: ● Push height adjustment lever (1) away from lawn mower slightly until lever is released from locating lugs (2). — Push height adjustment lever (1) towards lawn mower slightly until locating lugs (2) engage in lever. The selected cutting height can be read off at the front locating lug (3). — Attach grass catcher box (2) to mountings (4) on rear of machine by means of locating lugs (3). The upper handlebar can be fold down when the rotary handles are released. For this reason, always hold the upper handlebar (2) with one hand at its highest point when you unscrew the rotary handles. 4 Central cutting height adjustment 10 Five different cutting heights between 30 mm and 70 mm can be set. Electric cables can be inadvertently cut when mowing and present a tripping hazard. For this reason, mow so that the electric cable is always visible in the area of grass that has already been cut. to ensure a perfect , thick lawn , mow regularly and keep the grass short. Do not cut the lawn too short in hot, dry conditions as it will dry out or burn in the sun and become unsightly. The cutting pattern will be better with a sharp blade than with a blunt one; the blade should therefore be sharpened regularly (VIKING specialist dealer). 3 Correct motor load Do not switch on the lawn mower in tall grass or at the lowest cutting height. The lawn mower load must never cause the motor speed to drop significantly. If the speed drops, select a higher cutting height setting and/or reduce the rate of feed. 1 Two-hand operation The motor can only be switched on by pressing and holding the start button with the right hand and then pulling the motorstop lever to the handlebar with the left hand. 4 If the mowing blade blocks Switch off the motor immediately and disconnect the plug. 2 Motor run-down brake When the motorstop lever is released, the mowing blade comes to a complete standstill in less than three seconds. An integrated motor run-down brake shortens the run-down time until the blade stops. If an overload of the motor occurs during operation, the built-in thermal overload protection device automatically deactivates the motor. Causes for an overload: – mowing excessively high grass or cutting height adjusted too low, – excessive rate of feed, – inadequate cleaning of the cooling air guide (inlet slots), – mowing blade is blunt or worn, – unsuitable or excessively long electric cable – voltage loss ( 11.
