Maintenance and care

7.2 Lawn care

If possible, mow only when the lawn is dry and

when the ground is dry. The lawn mower‘s wheels

press into the wet ground and leave compression

marks.

A lawn looks better and appears more uniform if

cut often. Frequent cutting allows the lawn to

become healthy since the growth goes into the

stem.

Short cuttings up to 1 cm (approx. 1/2 inch) may

be left on the ground, longer cuttings need to be

collected with the grass catching device. At Spring

time, the first mowing should take place approx. 2

to 3 weeks before the grass grows at its usual

level. In order to achieve early greening of the

lawn, cut only approx. 1.5 cm (3/4 inch) of the

grass. Check lawn for foreign objects (rocks,

glass, metal pieces etc.) prior to mowing lawn. The

grass catching device can be used for any

additional clean-up (leaves etc.).

Newly seeded or thin lawns must not be cut too

short (leave 3 - 4 cm) (1 - 1 1/2 inches). Let the

grass remain at that length for 4 to 5 weeks, so

that the lawn increases in width and density.

Attention: solo by AL-KO Lawn mowers with rear

eject are especially suited for the collection of

leaves.

However, this use is only permitted on lawns

where all foreign objects, such as stones,

shards, metal objects, twigs, etc. have first

been carefully removed. Leaf collection on solid

ground (for example, roads or walk-ways) is

prohibited due to inherent safety risks.

For leaf collection, the cutting height is to be set to

the middle or to the highest setting.

8. Maintenance and care

For your own safety, remove the spark

plug cap from the spark plug prior to any

maintenance work or cleaning (12).

Any maintenance and care that go beyond

the described explanations need to be left

to an authorized Service Center.

8.1 Cleaning the mower

After each use, the mower needs to be thoroughly

cleaned. Special attention needs to be given to the

lower side, the blade and the cutting area circle.

Tip: To enable the lawnmower to be maintained

and cleaned with an empty fuel tank, fill only

enough fuel for the mowing job in hand. That way,

the tank can be quickly emptied after mowing has

been completed.

After releasing locking screws (8), the mower can

be raised onto its rear wheels and be supported on

the lower handle. First pull the spark plug cap. The

fuel tank should be empty, if possible, to prevent

fuel spilling from the fuel tank cap. Catch any fuel

running out of the carburettor with a suitable rag.

Dirt and grass debris is removed easily

immediately after mowing. Imbedded grass debris

and dirt on the mower deck‘s lower section

interrupt the grass collection and affect cutting

results. Imbedded dirt on the blade and on the

blower wheel lead to imbalance and consequently

to vibration. Check also for cleanliness of the duct.

The ejection air duct can be cleaned with a small

stick or with a screw driver.

Do not spray the mower with a hose or high

pressure cleaning hose. The engine has to

remain dry. The outer deck parts can simply be

kept clean by wiping the unit off with a rag. Strong

cleaning agents of any kind are not to be used.
