Original blade
An original AS-blade is engraved with:
AS GXXXXXXXX or EXXXXX
This corresponds to the spare part number.
Checking the condition of the cutting blade
screws
Danger!
When a screw head is worn, the cut-
ting blades can become loose.
Check all screws used for fastening
the cutting blades!
Fig. 9:
The screw head (3) wears off during mowing
and must be replaced at the latest when it is
down to a thickness of 2 mm.
To prevent unbalance replace the cutting blade
screws in pairs only!
Checking the blade clutch
Check the blade clutch for proper function by
disengaging the blade. The blade must come
from full speed to a standstill in less than
5 seconds. Contact an authorised service
centre if this is not the case.
Maintaining the engine
Danger!
If the speed of rotation is set too
high, objects can be ejected. The
engine can be damaged and noise
pollution increases.
Do not change the basic setting of
the carburetor or the speed control.
The engine manufacturer has prepared the op-
erating manual of the engine. The manual con-
tains all maintenance requirements and war-
ranty conditions for the engine. If warranty
work at the engine is required, contact your au-
thorised service centre or the next authorised
dealer for engines.
To ensure a long service life of the engine, suf-
ficient engine cooling is required.
Keep the
- engine cover (ventilation grid),
- silencer (protective grid) and
- cooling fins of the engine
clean at all times.
