1. Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions carefully before operating the lawnmower. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
- Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear appropriate eye protection, hearing protection, and sturdy footwear.
- Fuel Safety: Gasoline is highly flammable. Handle fuel with extreme care. Refuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke while refueling.
- Clear Area: Before starting, clear the mowing area of any objects that could be thrown by the blades (rocks, sticks, toys, etc.).
- Children and Bystanders: Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the operating lawnmower.
- Slope Operation: Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
- Blade Safety: Never place hands or feet near rotating parts. Disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance or clearing blockages.
- Engine Off: Always turn off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position, clearing the discharge chute, or making any adjustments.

2.3 Adding Engine Oil
Before starting the engine for the first time, add the recommended engine oil. Refer to the engine manual for the correct oil type and capacity. Do not overfill.
2.4 Adding Fuel
Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. Do not use E85 or other alternative fuels. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after refueling.
3. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your lawnmower.
3.1 Starting the Engine
- Ensure the spark plug wire is securely connected.
- Move the throttle lever to the "START" or "CHOKE" position (if applicable).
- Pull the starter rope firmly and smoothly until the engine starts.
- Once the engine starts, gradually move the throttle lever to the "RUN" position.
3.2 Adjusting Cutting Height
The TRAPP RM 600G allows for multiple cutting height adjustments. Locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel or axle. Adjust all wheels to the same desired height before mowing.

3.3 Mowing Techniques
For an even cut and healthy lawn, mow in overlapping rows. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.

3.4 Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, release the engine control bar (if equipped) or move the throttle lever to the "STOP" position. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before approaching the machine.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your lawnmower.
4.1 Engine Maintenance
- Oil Change: Check engine oil level before each use. Change oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 25-50 hours or annually.
- Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance.
- Spark Plug: Inspect and clean the spark plug annually. Replace if electrodes are worn or pitted.

4.2 Blade Care
Regularly inspect the cutting blade for sharpness and damage. A dull blade tears grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before working on the blade.
4.3 Cleaning and Storage
After each use, clean grass clippings from the underside of the deck. Store the lawnmower in a clean, dry area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, drain the fuel or use a fuel stabilizer.
