Mowing with the Mulch Kit
When mulch mowing, the grass is cut,
chaffed and spread on the lawn all in one
go. The cut grass serves as a natural fer-
tiliser.
Tips for Mulch Mowing:
• Cut the grass back by 2 cm from a
grass height of 4-6 cm.
• Use sharp cutting blades.
• Do not mow wet grass.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Have any repair and mainte-
nance work not described in
these instructions carried out by
a specialist workshop. Use only
original Grizzly replacement
parts. Risk of accidents!
Carry out maintenance and
cleaning work strictly with the
engine switched off and spark
plug connectors removed. Risk
of injury!
Allow the equipment to cool
before any maintenance and
cleaning work. Elements of the
engine are hot. Risk of burning!
Wear gloves when handling the
blade.
For cleaning and maintenance
work, also observe the Briggs &
Stratton instruction manual sup-
plied.
We recommend contacting an au-
thorised Briggs & Stratton dealer for
maintenance work on the engine.
Cleaning and General Mainte-
nance Work
Tip the Equipment
(Service Position):
To clean the underside of the equipment,
tip the equipment backwards on the upper
handle bar (2).
To prevent the equipment from tipping
back,
- remove the grass collection box (
23) if it is installed.
- set the cut height to the highest posi-
tion (36),
- loosen the quick release tensioning
levers (25) and fold the top handle bar
(2) towards the equipment (see “As-
sembling the Handle Bar”).
The Bowden cables (9) must not be
caught when doing this.
Ensure that the quick release
tensioning levers (25) come to a
stop on the side.
When cleaning or servicing the
appliance, ask someone to hold
the tilted appliance.
Risk of injury if the equipment
tilts back.
Do not tilt the equipment sideways
or forwards. Operating fluids could
leak out and the engine could be
damaged.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a toothbrush or cloth but no
corrosive cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use water to clean the engine as
it could contaminate the fuel system.
• After mowing, remove plant remains
that are stuck to the equipment by us-
ing a piece of wood or plastic. Clean
the vent holes ( 37), ejection hole
