Cleaning the device
Depending on use, clean the device thor-
oughly, especially the bottom and the blade.
Grass cuttings and dirt that are stuck interfere
with the grass ejection and impair the cutting
quality. To sufficiently cool the engine, keep
the engine cover, ventilation grid and engine
clean.
Fire hazard!
Take particular care that the com-
ponents at the silencer are clean.
For cleaning, use a hand brush. Remove stub-
born dirt with a wooden or plastic spatula.
Clean the outside housing parts with a cloth.
Do not clean the device with water spray or
high-pressure cleaner! Do not use any ag-
gressive cleaning agents.
General inspection
To make sure that the device can be operated
safely, check all nuts, bolts, screws, connec-
tions of fuel lines, air filters etc. regularly for
proper condition and firm seating. Check the
ignition wire and the spark plug connector for
damage.
Immediately replace damaged or worn parts,
especially covers, silencers or fuel tank
(authorised service centre).
Check all parts that that contain fluids for leaks
and proper condition. These can be: Fuel tank,
fuel valve, fuel lines, carburetor, engine, gears,
battery, hydraulic system.
In case of leaks, contact an authorised service
centre.
Chain lubrication
The chains to the right and to the left of the dif-
ferential lock must be lubricated at regular in-
tervals. We recommend using biodegradable
chain spray.
Transmission
The transmission is maintenance-free and
filled with oil that is supposed to last the entire
service life of the device. Make sure that there
are no leaks or damages.
Checking the drive
1. Put the device on a non-slip surface (e.g.
concrete or asphalt).
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Set the gear shift lever to a forward gear.
4. Actuate the drive lever.
5. Try to pull the device backwards.
If the rear wheels lock, the drive is correctly ad-
justed. If you can pull the device, the drive
must be re-adjusted.
