• Clean the cooling ns of the cylinder and the hous-

ing.

• Remove the start tension cable (17) from the hook.

Loosen the quick-release lever (5) and fold the up-

per push bar down. Make sure the cables are not

bent during this process.

• Wedge a few layers of corrugated cardboard be-

tween the upper and lower push bars and the en-

gine in order to prevent any chang.

12. Storage

• Never store the mower (with petrol in the tank) in-

side a building in which petrol fumes could come

into contact with open ames or sparks.

• Allow the motor to cool before you put the lawn

mower in an enclosed area.

• In order to avoid re hazards, keep the engine, ex-

haust and the area around the fuel tank free from

grass, leaves and leaking grease (oil).

Preparing the mower for long-term storage

Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed

areas, near re or when smoking. Petrol fumes can

cause explosions and re.

• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.

• Start the engine and let it run until any remaining

petrol has been used up.

• Change the oil at the end of every season. To do

so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine

and rell with fresh oil.

• Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.

• Fill the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an

oil can.

• Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will bathe

the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark plug back

in.

• Clean the cooling ns of the cylinder and the hous-

ing.

• Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the

paint.

• Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.

13. Maintenance

• Regular, careful maintenance is required to guar-

antee the safety level and performance of the ma-

chine.

• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight-

ened securely and that the machine is in safe work-

ing condition.

• Routinely check the grass basket for signs of wear

and impaired functionality.

Regularly clean the grass box with water and let it

dry thoroughly.

• For your own safety, replace worn or damaged

parts without delay.

• If the fuel tank should require emptying this should

only be done in the open air using a petrol suction

pump (available from DIY shops).

•

After mowing

• Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn

mower in an enclosed area.

Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before

storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top

of the mower.

• Check all the screws and nuts once more before

you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any

loose screws.

• Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).

• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized

use.

• Ensure that you do not park the mower next to

any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to

explosions.

• Only original parts or parts approved by the

manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address

on the warranty certicate).

• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an

extended period, empty the petrol tank using a

petrol suction pump.

• Oil and maintain the machine.

10. Cleaning

The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after

every use, especially the underneath and the blade

mount. To remove the gras, tip the lawn mower onto

its left side (the opposite side to the oil lling socket)

or clean the mower with water as descript below:

• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.

• Fit the hose connection to the mower and turn the

tap on. (Fig. 23)

• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30

seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water

onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.

• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .

• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp

objects).

•

m Note! Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side,

completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol suc-

tion pump. The lawn mower must never be tilted by

more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass is easiest to

remove immediately after you have nished mowing

the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in poor-

er mowing performance. Check that the grass chute

is free of any residual grass. Remove any such resi-

due. Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or

high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain dry.

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold

cleaner or petroleum ether.

11. Transport

Preparing the mower for transportation (Fig. 22)

• Empty the petrol tank.

• Always let the engine run until it has used up the

remainder of petrol in the tank.

• Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.

• Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
