oil level must be between the two marks min. and
max. on the oil dipstick (Fig. 9b).
Changing the oil
The engine oil is best changed when the engine
has been switched o
ff
but is still warm.
1. Make sure that the debris bag has been re-
moved.
2. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction
pump and run the engine until the remaining
fuel is fully consumed.
3. Place an oil drip tray alongside the mower.
4. Open the oil
fi
ller plug (Item 7) and tilt the mo-
wer 90° sideways.
5. The hot oil will
fl
ow through the open oil
fi
ller
opening into the oil drip tray.
6. After the old oil has drained out, set the mo-
wer upright again.
7. Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
dip stick.
8. Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to
check the oil level – only insert it as far as the
thread.
9. Dispose of the used oil in accordance with
applicable regulations.
7.2.2 Blades
For safety reasons, have all blade sharpening,
balancing and mounting work carried out by an
authorized service center. To achieve optimal re-
sults, we recommend having the blades checked
once a year.
Changing the blades (Fig. 8)
When changing the cutting unit, be sure to use
only genuine replacement parts. The identi
fi
cation
mark on the blade must correspond with the num-
ber speci
fi
ed in the spare parts list.
Never install a blade from a di
ff
erent manufactu-
rer.
Damaged blades
If, in spite of all caution, the blade comes into con-
tact with an obstacle, switch o
ff
the engine imme-
diately and pull o
ff
the spark plug connector.
Tilt the lawn mower to the rear and check the
blade for damage. Damaged or bent blades must
be replaced. Never straighten a bent blade. Never
work with bent or heavily worn blades as this will
result in vibrations, causing further damage to the
mower.
Warning!
Risk of injury when working with a da-
maged blade.
7.2.3 Axles and wheel hubs
Grease should be applied to the axles and wheel
hubs once per season.
To do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdri-
ver and loosen the fastening screws on the
wheels.
7.2.4 Care and adjustment of the actuator
cables
Oil the actuator cables at regular intervals and
check that they move easily.
7.2.5 Maintenance of the air
fi
lter
(Fig. 10a/10b)
Soiled air
fi
lters reduce the engine output by sup-
plying too little air to the carburetor. If the air con-
tains a lot of dust, the air
fi
lter must be checked
more frequently.
Never clean the air
fi
lter with petrol or in
fl
ammable
solvents. Clean the air
fi
lter only with compressed
air or by tapping it.
7.2.6 Maintenance of the spark plug
Clean the spark plug with a copper wire brush.
1. Pull
o
ff
the spark plug connector (Fig. 11/Item
A).
2. Remove the spark plug using a spark plug
wrench.
3. Assemble in reverse order.
7.2.7 Inspecting the V-belt
Remove the blade as described in 7.2.2.
To inspect the V-belt you must remove the V-belt
cover (Fig. 12/Item 5b).
7.2.8 Repairs
After carrying out any repair or maintenance
work, ensure that all safety parts are installed and
in perfect condition.
Keep potentially hazardous parts out of reach of
other persons and children.
