Cutting height adjustment
Adjust the cutting height of your mower to suit the mowing conditions. Do not try to remove
too much grass in one pass, mow rather the same area a few times. Adjustment of the cut-
ting height is made centrally. Turn off the machine and take the weight of the machine of the
mower by lifting. Move the lever outwards and move it towards the front of the machine to
increase the cutting height or towards the rear to reduce the cutting height. Return the lever
to the appropriate notch to set the desired cutting height. Make sure the lever fits snugly
and securely.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
-
Cut grass is damp. Regular cleaning after each use will reduce the risk of corrosion or
seizure.
-
Before you start cleaning, turn off the engine and allow it to cool.
-
Remove accumulated grass clippings from and around with a soft brush.
-
Clean the grass collection bag annually with a brush or gentle spray of water. Let the
bag dry.
-
Clean underneath regurlarly. Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower to your
right or back when standing behind it. Remove cut grass from the cutting system with a
scraper and a brush.
-
Do not use a pressure washer or hot water to clean the mower. Dry off the machine be-
fore storing by leaving it running for a few minutes on a flat, clear surface to prevent
corrosion or seizure.
-
Store your mower in a dry, well-ventilated area away from flames, sparks or heat
sources. Disconnect the spark plug cap before storing. Avoid storing beneath a tarpau-
lin or similar cover as it may cause condensation resulting in corrosion.
-
Winter storage:
Thoroughly clean the mower. Run the engine outdoors until fuel tank
is empty or empty fuel using a fuel suction pump. Dispose of discarded fuel according to
the local regulation. Turn fuel tap to OFF. Remove the spark plug from the engine. Pour a
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Gently pull the starter rope several times to
distribute the oil to protect the cylinder over winter. Replace and tighten the spark plug.
-
Transporting your mower:
Make sure that the fuel tank is empty. Allow the engine to
cool and turn fuel tap to OFF position.
