7.5 After mowing
1.
Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
2.
Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on
top of the mower.
3.
Before using the mower again, retighten all nuts
and screws. Tighten all screws which were
slackened.
4.
Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5.
Disconnect the spark plug boot to prevent
unauthorized use.
6.
Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
7.
Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see
address on the warranty certificate).
8.
Empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction
pump if you are not intending to use the mower
for an extended period of time.
9.
Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not a
toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store petrol.
Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the machine.
12. How to switch off the engine:
All you have to do to switch off the engine is
release the engine start/stop lever (Fig.
5a/Item 1).
Pull the ignition cable from the spark plug boot in
order to prevent the engine from restarting.
Before you start the engine again, check the cord
for the engine brake. Check that the cord is
correctly fitted. If the cord is kinked or damaged, it
should be replaced.
8. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Important:
Never work on or touch any current-conducting parts
of the ignition system while the engine is running. Pull
the spark plug boot from the spark boot before doing
any maintenance or assembly work. Never carry out
any work on the equipment while the engine is
running. Work that is not described in these operating
instructions, should only be carried out by authorized
workshops.
8.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly every
time after it has been used. This particularly applies to
its underside and the blade mount. For this purpose,
tilt the lawn mower onto its left side (opposite the oil-
filler neck).
Note:
Before placing the lawn mower on its side, fully
drain the fuel tank using a petrol extraction pump. Do
not tilt the lawn mower by more then 90 degrees. It is
easiest to remove dirt and grass immediately after
mowing. Dried grass remnants and dirt may impair
the mowing operation. Check if the grass ejector
chute is free of grass remnants and remove any if
necessary. Never clean the mower using a water jet
or a high-pressure cleaner. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners or
petroleum ether.
8.2 Servicing
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Important:
Dispose of soiled maintenance material
and operating materials at the appropriate collection
point.
8.2.1 Axles and wheel hubs
A thin coating of grease should be applied to the
axles and wheel hubs once per season. To do so,
remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and loosen
the fastening screws on the wheels.
