AIR CLEANER SERVICE
(fig. 8) Briggs & Stratton Quantum-engines
Clean the element every three months or every twenty-five
hours, whichever comes first. NB. Clean the element more
frequently when operating under dusty conditions.
. Loosen the screw and lower the cover as shown in the
figure.
2. Carefully remove the element.
3. Clean the element by carefully knocking it against a flat
surface. If it is heavilly soiled, it must be replaced.
4. Replace the element, close the cover and tighten
firmly.
AIR CLEANER SERVICE
(fig. 9) Briggs & Stratton Sprint engines.
Clean and lubricate the foam element every third month
or every 25th working hour, which occurs first. NB. Clean
the element more frequently if the working conditions for
the engine are dusty.
. Screw off the screw and demount the air cleaner carefully
so that dust don’t fall down into the carburator.
2. Take the air cleaner apart and clean all parts. Clean
the foam in liquid cleaning and water. Press it dry in a
clean shread. Appease with engine oil. Press with a clean
shread to take away all unnecessary oil.
3. Assemble all the parts again and mount the air cleaner
properly on the carburator with the screw.
AIR CLEANER SERVICE
(fig. 0) Honda GCV 35-engines
Clean the element every three months or every twenty-five
hours, whichever comes first. NB. Clean the element more
frequently when operating under dusty conditions.
. Loosen the snap-on fastenings and lower the cover as
shown in the figure.
2. Carefully remove the element.
3. Clean the element by carefully knocking it against a flat
surface. If it is heavilly soiled, it must be replaced.
4. Replace the element, close the cover and push the snap-
on fastenings properly.
NORMAL OIL CHANGE
Unscrew the dipstick and place the lawn-mower in such a
position as to allow the oil to run out. This can be done most
easily when the engine is warm and the fuel tank is empty.
Then fill with fresh oil (0,6 l SAE 30)up to the FULL-mark
on the dipstick (fig. 8).
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the engine does not start, check the following:
. That there is fresh and new petrol in the tank and the
petrol valve is open (Honda engines).
2. Check that the choke is correctly adjusted (Honda
engines).
3. Control that the brake cable is correctly adjusted.
4. That the spark plug is not fouled with soot and the gap
is correct (it should be 0,7-0,8 mm).
5. Is the blade properly fastened?
6. Is the air filter blocked with dirt? Clean or change it!
If the engine fails to start after these measures, contact
your nearest service workshop.
7. Does the cutting result being bad and the blades of the
grass being uneven in cut area? Change the blade of
the lawnmower!
CLEANING
Place the lawnmower with the spark plug upwards. First run
until the tank is empty, otherwise petrol will leak out through
the venting hole in the tank cap. Beware of the environment
and the fire danger! NB. Never flush the lawnmower with a
high-pressure cleaner.
WINTER STORAGE
Run until no more petrol is left and change the oil.Then
pour one spoonful of oil into the spark-plug hole and turn
over the engine so that the oil is distributed. Clean the air
filter and gear housing. Store the lawnmower indoors in a
dry spot. Charge the battery with the charger.
Starting the engine
ENGINES: Quantum XLS, Sprint XT
. Push the Prime-starter (fig. 4) throughly three times. It is
placed in the front of the engine (Quantum-engines) and
on the right side (Sprint). When starting a warm engine,
normally pushing the prime-starter is unnecessary.
2. The security bail (fig. 5b) must be in operating posi tion,
by starting and operating.
3. Give the starting string a powerful lug.
By cold weather it could be necessary to repeat the pro-
cedure. If the engine still doesn´t start, try to start with
the throttle control in idle position (turtle). If the engine
still doesn´t start, take off the spark plug and clean it and
try again.
Quantum XRQ ReadyStart-engine
. The security bail (fig. 5b) must be in operating posi tion,
by starting and operating.
2. Just pull the starting string.
MODELS WITH HONDA ENGINE:
. Starting a cold engine: Set the trottle control to choke
position (hare), pulshed forward as far as possible. And
open the petrol valve (behind the air filter on the left side
of the engine). If the engine has got too much petrol,
try to start with the throttle control in idle position. If it
doesn’t start, take off the spark plug and clean it from
petrol and dirt. When starting a warm engine, normally
the choke is unnecessary.
2. The security bail (fig. 5b) must be in operating posi- tion,
by starting and operating.
3. Give the staring string a powerful lug.
STOP
The machine will be stopped either through dropping the
security bail (fig. 5b).
General remarks
Tidy up the lawn before mowing. Solid objects laying in the
grass are dangerous to hit with blade and are worning out
the blades unnecessarily.
A lawnmower must not be driven into solid objects, check
the lawn for any concealed pipes and mark their position.
Drive the lawnmower calmly and methodically, e.g., in
continous circles and always in such a way that you even
out any stripes. Mow in different directions every time.
TIPS ON MOWING
Experts agree that it is the best to trim only one third of
the length of the grass at one time, as this stimulates its
growth and gives a tougher and greener lawn.
Maintenance
NB. To prevent accidental engine starting, always dis-con-
nect the ignition cable when the engine or lawnmower is
being serviced!
The machine should be left to an authorized KLIPPO-work-
shop after every season. Machines with catalytic converter
should be left to an authorized KLIPPO-workshop at least
ever third year or every 00 operating hours, whichever
occurs first.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the top underneath of the lawnmower clean and wipe
off any grass before it dries. When working underneath the
machine place the machine with the spark plug upwards
and disconnect the ignition cable. Tighten all mounting
bolts from time to time and lubricate catches and axles
after every season. Bare-metal parts should be rubbed down
with a rag dipped in anti-corrosion oil. Routine servicing
every fifty hours is recommended in cases of professional
use. Use only KLIPPO original spare parts and accessoires.
(It’s a condition for the CE-marking).
Cutter blade system
Mulcherblade standard for Triumph, Champion, Pro 7
and Pro 9. For the Excellent models we use a Cross-cut
mulcher blade (fig. 6).
Blade replacement
A robust cup spring presses the blade plate/blade against a
friction washer. A 4 mm ring spanner or sockel is recom-
mended for removal of the blade bolt, which has a
conventional right-hand thread. To assemble, tighten the
bolt firmly and carefully knock the sockel onto it with a
hammer. The blade also functions as a flywheel. If it slips
the engine may run unevenly or be difficult to start, e.g.,
may backfire. N.B. To avoid vibration, fit the blade with
the markings on the blade mount facing the side of the
blade. See fig. 7.
VIBRATIONS
Never run a lawnmower if it vibrates abnormally.
If a blade is damaged, replace it.
