Important:
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the
ignition unit with the engine running. Always pull
the spark plug boot from the spark plug before
starting any work of care or maintenance. Never
perform any work on the machine while it is
running. Any work not described in these Operating
Instructions must be performed by an authorised
service workshop only.
8.1 Cleaning
After each use, the mower should be thoroughly
cleaned (especially the underside and blade
receptacle).
Note: Before you tilt the lawnmower onto its side,
empty the fuel tank completely with a petrol pump.
The lawnmower must not be tilted more than 90
degrees. The simplest time to remove dirt and grass
is directly after mowing. Dried residual grass and dirt
could cause damage to the mowing operation. Make
sure the grass ejector canal is free from residual
pieces of grass and remove these if necessary.
Never clean the mower with a direct jet of water or a
high pressure cleaner. The motor must stay dry.
Aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaning
solvent or petroleum ether must not be used.

do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and
slacken the fastening screws on the wheels.
8.2.2 Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorised service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.
Changing the blade (Fig. 8)
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced. The marking on the blade must be
matched with the number given in the list of spare
parts. Never have any other model of blade fitted.
Damaged blades
Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come
into contact with an obstruction, shut down the
engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip
the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for
damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.
Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight
again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily
worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead
to further damage to the lawn mower.
Important:
There is a risk of injury if you work with a
damaged blade.
Resharpening the blade
The blades can be resharpened with a metal file. In
order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be
resharpened by an authorised service workshop.
8.2.3 Care and adjustment of the cables
Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.

After any repair or maintenance work, check that all
safety-related parts are in place and in proper
working order.
All parts which may cause injury must be kept where
they are inaccessible to children or others.
