• 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).

m WARNING

Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ig-

nition unit with the engine running. Always pull the

spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting

any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any

work on the machine while it is running. Any work not

described in these Operating Instructions must be

performed by an authorized service workshop only.

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 poorer

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.

Wheel axles and wheel hubs

• These should be lightly greased once a season.

Blade

For safety reasons you should only ever have your

blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an au-

thorized service workshop. For optimum results it is

recommended that the blade should be inspected

once a year.

Changing the blade (Fig. 17)

Only ever use original spare parts when having the

blade replaced.

Wear gloves when replacing the blade in order to pre-

vent injury.

Never have any other blade tted.

• Empty the fuel tank before removing the blade

• To replace the blade, undo the screw.

• Reinstall as illustrated in Fig. 17. Tighten the screw

properly. Tightening torque 45 Nm. When replacing

the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.

Damaged blades

Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come

into contact with an obstruction, shut down the en-

gine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip

the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for

damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.

Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight

again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily

worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead

to further damage to the lawn mower.

m CAUTION! There is a risk of injury if you work with

a damaged blade.

Resharpening the blade

The blades can be resharpened with a metal le. In

order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be re-

sharpened by an authorized service workshop

Checking the oil level

m CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too lit-

tle oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine.

Use only SAE30 engine oil.

Checking the oil level (Fig. 18):

• Stand the lawn mower on a at level surface.

• Unscrew the oil dip stick (12) by turning anticlock-

wise, pull out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back in

the lling mount as far as the stop, but do not screw

back in.

• Pull out the dip stick (12) again and read off the

oil level while holding horizontally. The oil level

must be between the maximum and the minimum

Changing the oil Fig. 23

• Change the engine oil every year before the start of

the season when the engine is warm.

• Use only engine oil (SAE30).

• Empty the fuel tank (with a petrol suction pump)

• Place a at oil drip tray in front of the mower (min.

volume 1 Liter).

• Remove the dipstick and tip over the mower untill

the whole oil is run out into the oil drip tray.

• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the

dipstick (approx. 0.47 l).

• Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to check

the oil level – only insert it as far as the thread.

Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable

regulations.
