5. Betjening
5.1 Start af motoren
- Ensure the fuel valve (if present) is open.
- Prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb (if equipped) 3-5 times until fuel is visible.
- Hold the operator presence control bar against the handle.
- Pull the starter rope firmly and steadily until the engine starts.
5.2 Justering af klippehøjde
The lawnmower features a convenient 6-level central cutting height adjustment system, ranging from 25 mm to 75 mm.
- Sluk motoren og vent, indtil klingen er stoppet helt.
- Find det centrale højdejusteringshåndtag, typisk i nærheden af et af baghjulene.
- Træk håndtaget udad, og flyt det til den ønskede højdeindstilling. Sørg for, at det låser ordentligt på plads.
- For at opnå de bedste resultater, undgå at klippe mere end en tredjedel af græsstråets længde ad gangen.

5.3 Mowing Functions (4-in-1)
The EQ2-500X offers four versatile mowing options:
- Indsamling: For a clean finish, use the 75-liter grass bag to collect clippings. The bag features a dust protection and fill level indicator.
- Mulching: Finely chops grass clippings and returns them to the lawn as natural fertilizer. Install the mulching plug (if included).
- Bagudkast: Discharges clippings from the rear of the mower. Remove the grass bag for this function.
- Sideudflåd: Discharges clippings from the side. Attach the side discharge chute (if included).

6. Vedligeholdelse og pleje
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din plæneklippers lange levetid og optimale ydeevne.
- Rensning: After each use, clean the cutting deck. The integrated wash port makes this easy: connect a garden hose, turn on the water, and start the engine for a short period to clean the underside.
- Bladinspektion: Regularly check the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull blade can tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. Replace or sharpen as needed.
- Olieskift: Change the engine oil according to the Briggs & Stratton engine manual, typically after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25-50 hours or annually.
- Luftfilter: Inspect and clean or replace the air filter regularly to ensure proper engine performance.
- Tændrør: Check and clean or replace the spark plug annually.
- Opbevaring: For long-term storage, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the mower thoroughly and store it in a dry, protected area. The ergonomic handle can be folded to save space.
