Mulching
-
CAUTION
Use only original mulching accessories when mulching.
- Remove the grass catcher and hold the plastic grass catcher cover with your hand.
- Install the mulching plug into the discharge chute and make sure that the plug is seated firmly.
- CAUTION
Attach and remove the mulching plug only with the engine turned off.
- Do not mulch tall grass all at once, this will prevent overloading the lawnmower mechanism and the engine.
Setting the mowing height
- The mowing height is set centrally using the central mowing height adjustment lever. You can select from 8
positions in the range of 25 to 75 mm.
- CAUTION!
For maximum effectiveness, please always trim the grass by no more than 1 /3 of its length. To
mow overgrown grass, proceed step by step and decrease the height setting by one step after each mowing.
To keep quality lawn, do not use the lowest mowing height setting.
Replacing the mowing blades
- CAUTION!
We recommended that you contact an authorized service centre.
- Remove the bolt. Then remove the old blade and install a new one. Tighten the screw.
- Replace the clamping screw at the same time.
Changing the motor oil
- CAUTION!
We recommended that you contact an authorized service centre.
- The drain plug is located under the engine. Place a suitable container for catching the used oil under the
engine and remove the plug. Tilt the lawnmower so that all the oil can drain from the oil tank. After draining
the oil, put the plug back into the hole. Making sure that the plug is securely in its place and wipe away any
drops of spilled oil. Add type SAE 15W-40 oil into the oil tank. Do not overfill the oil tank. Check the oil level
in the tank. Remove the oil tank cap with oil gauge and wipe it dry. Measure the oil level in the tank. The oil
level should be between the Min. and Max marks. Start the engine and allow it to run for a short time. Stop
the engine, wait 1 minute and remeasure the oil level in the oil tank. Add oil to the required level if necessary.
Oil is a major factor that affects performance and service life. Use a suitable oil for four-stroke engine.
RECOMMENDED TIPS
Lawn care
- Various forms of care are required depending on the type of grass area.
- Therefore, always read the instructions included on seed packages with respect to the mowing height for
the growing conditions in the given locality.
- It is necessary to always keep in mind that the larger part of grass consists of a stem and one or more leaves.
When the leaves are cut off completely, the lawn is damaged and the renewal of growth will be much more
difficult.
- The following instructions generally apply:
•
excessively low mowing causes disruption to the roots and subsequently "spotty" appearance
