pull the mower back approx. 1 meter.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the catch bag and
especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use.
Reattach the catch bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top.
7.5 After mowing
1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on
top of the mower.
3. Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten
any loose screws.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs
(see address on the warranty certificate).
8. If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not
a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the machine.
8. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare parts
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance
information and maintenance interval information
on the engine.
Important:
Never work on or touch any current-conducting parts
of the ignition system while the engine is running. Pull
off the spark plug connector (Fig. 1/Item 6) from the
spark plug before doing any maintenance or
assembly work. Never carry out any work on the
equipment while the engine is running. Work that is
not described in these operating instructions should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
8.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly every
time after it has been used. This particularly applies to
its underside and the blade mount.
Note:
Before placing the lawn mower, fully drain the
fuel tank using a petrol extraction pump. Do not tilt the
lawn mower by more than 90 degrees. It is easier to
remove dirt and grass immediately after mowing.
Dried grass remnants and dirt may impair the mowing
operation. Check if the grass ejector chute is free of
grass remnants and remove any if necessary. Never
clean the mower using a water jet or a high-pressure
cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners or
petroleum ether.
8.2 Maintenance
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance
information and maintenance interval information
on the engine.
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and media at
the appropriate collection point
8.2.1 Wheel axles and wheel hubs
These should be lightly greased once a season. To
do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and
slacken the fastening screws on the wheels.
8.2.2 Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorized service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.
Changing the blade (Fig. 8)
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced. The marking on the blade must be
matched with the number given in the list of spare
parts. Never have any other model of blade fitted.
