EINHELL rg-em-1536, Original Operating Instructions

Page: 23 / 108

To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift up
the chute flap and the other to grab onto the basket
handle. Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the
chute flap automatically falls down after removing the
grass basket and closes off the rear chute opening. If
any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to
restart the engine if you pull the mower back
approximately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket and
especially the net must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top.
8. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
9. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the power plug before starting any
cleaning work.
9.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
down with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the
plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the equipment.
9.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important. The carbon brushes should not be
replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
9.3 Servicing
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts, and
bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
equipment in balance.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running water,
particularly with high-pressure water. Ensure that
all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts
etc.) are always tightened so that the equipment
can be safely operated at all times.
Frequently check the grass catch assembly for
signs of wear.
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier for
many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as
the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and
lubricated.
Keeping your hand mower in good condition not
only ensures a long lifespan and high
performance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort. For
best results, clean the lawn mower with a brush
or rag. Do not use any solvents or water to
remove dirt.
The cutting components - i.e. the knife cage and
lower knife blade - are subjected to more wear
and tear than any other component of the unit.
Therefore, routinely check the condition of the
blade and make sure that it is tightly fastened. If
the blade is completely worn out, it must be
immediately replaced or ground sharp again. An
excessively vibrating mower means that the
blade is not properly balanced or has become
deformed from striking an object. In this case, the
blade must be repaired or replaced.
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
