  • Features

    Standard features

    • Electronic ignition module

      This ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and thus proof against damp and dirt.

    • Manual fuel pump (Purger)

      A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.

    • Bike handle

      When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action. The bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, making it ideal for working on large areas and thus reducing fatigue.

    • Basic harness

      For use with loop handle machines.

    • Multi-function control handle

      Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator's hand never leaves the handle.
