Repairs

After any repair or maintenance work, check that all 

safety-related parts are in place and in proper working 

order. All parts which may cause injury must be kept 

where they are inaccessible to children or others.

Important: In accordance with product liability legisla-

tion we are not liable for any damages caused by 

improper repairs or the use of spare parts that are not 

original spare parts or parts approved by us.

In addition, we are also not liable for any damages 

arising from improper repairs. Such work should 

be performed by a customer services workshop or 

authorized specialist. The same applies to accessory 

parts.

Times of use

Please comply with statutory regulations, which may 

vary from location to location.

Important hint in case of sending the equipment 

to a service station:

Due to security reasons please see to it that the 

equipment is sent back free of oil and gas!

Ordering replacement parts

Please quote the following data when ordering re-

placement parts:

•  Type of machine

•  Article number of the machine

10. Storage

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

inside a building in which petrol fumes could come 

into contact with open flames or sparks.

•  Allow the motor to cool before you put the lawn 

mower in an enclosed area.

• 

In order to avoid fire 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 fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can 

cause explosions and fire.

•  Clean and maintain the machine before storage

•  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 refill 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 fins of the cylinder and the hous

-

ing.

Checking the oil level

m

 CAUTION!

Never run the engine with no or 

too little 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 flat level surface.

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

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

in the filling 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

•  Change the engine oil every year before the start 

of the season when the engine is warm.

•  Use only engine oil (SAE30/ 10W30).

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

• 

Place a flat 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. 0.4 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.

Maintenance of the air filter (Abb. 20)

A soiled air filter will reduce the performance of the 

engine because it will prevent enough air getting to 

the carburetor. It is therefore imperative that regular 

checks are made. The air filter should be checked 

every 25 hours and cleaned if required. If the air 

is very dusty the air filter should be checked more 

regularly.

Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge 

filter element. To avoid objects falling into the air 

intake, replace the air filter cover.  (Abb. 20).

Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or 

inflammable cleaning agents. Clean the air filter with 

compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.

Maintenance of the spark plug (Abb. 21)

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours 

of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper 

wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after 

every 50 hours of operation.

Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the 

spark plug (10) with a spark plug wrench.

Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030”). 

Refit the spark plug taking care not to overtighten.
