5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction - maintenance
For better operating reliability and longer service
life: check and clean the product regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary. All maintenance
and servicing must be done according to
GARDENA's instructions. Refer to
Guarantee
terms on page 52
.
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the
amount of wear during this period has been low,
the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
The edges of the blades should not be damaged.
The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and
depends for instance on:
Operating time and size of the work area.
Type of grass and seasonal growth.
Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
The presence of objects such as cones,
windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the
like.
The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
To replace the
blades on page 34
on how to replace the
blades.
Note:
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and
more energy is needed resulting in the product
not mowing such a large area.
WARNING: The product must be
turned off before any maintenance is
done. The product is disabled when
the indicator lamp on the ON/OFF
button is not lit.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
5.2 Clean the product
It is important to keep the product clean. A
product with large amounts of grass stuck to it
will not cope as well with slopes. It is
recommended to clean using a brush.
GARDENA offers a special cleaning and
maintenance kit as an accessory. Contact your
GARDENA central service.
CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Never
use solvents for cleaning.
5.2.1 Chassis and blade disc
Inspect the blade disc and blades once a week.
1. Press the STOP button.
2. Press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to
turn off the product.
3. Check that the indicator lamp on the
ON/OFF button is not lit.
4. If the product is very dirty, clean it by using a
dish brush or a garden hose. Do not use a
high-pressure washer.
5. Lift the product onto its side.
6. Clean the blade disc and chassis using for
example a dish brush. At the same time,
check that the blade disc rotates freely in
relation to the foot guard. Also, check that
the blades are intact and can pivot freely.
5.2.2 Wheels
Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as
well as the rear wheel bracket. Grass on the
wheels can impact on how the product performs
in slopes.
5.2.3 Cover
Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the
cover. If the cover is very dirty it may be
necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up
liquid.
