The battery charger may not be connected directly
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine with the charger as the power source and
the charger could be damaged.
WINTER STORAGE
Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and
+15°C). At least once during the winter storage
period, the battery should be maintenance-
charged.
Before the start of the season, the battery should
be charged once again for 24 hours.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE (*)
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because
the clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows
(with the engine off):
1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be
possible to push the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, screw in
the nipple
T
until the mower can be pushed (fig.
13).
2. When the clutch loop is pressed in approx. 2 cm
(position 1), there should be some resistance
when pushing the lawnmower. With the clutch
loop fully pressed in (position 2) it should not be
possible to push the mower. Unscrew the nipple
T
until this position is achieved.
SHOCK-ABSORBER
Fig. 14. Check the shock-absorber and the insulat-
ing sleeves twice per season. Replace in the event
of damage or wear.
CHANGING BLADES
To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 15 - 16).
Fit the new blade so that the stamped logo is
turned up facing the blade holder (not facing the
grass).
Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly.
Tightening torque 40 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temper-
ature could cause the blades to become brittle.
STORAGE
The same petrol must not remain in the tank for
more than one month.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICING
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service work-
shops and by many dealers.
We recommend that you take the machine to an
authorised service station for annual servicing,
maintenance and inspection of safety equipment.
For service and spare parts, please contact the
dealer where the machine was purchased.
