tap on. (Fig. 24)
• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30
seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water
onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp
objects).

11. Transport
Preparing the mower for transportation (Fig. 22)
• Empty the petrol tank.
• Always let the engine run until it has used up the
remainder of petrol in the tank.
• Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.
• Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the hous -
ing.
• Remove the start tension cable (17) from the hook.
Loosen the quick-release lever (5) and fold the up-
per push bar down. Make sure the cables are not
bent during this process.
• Wedge a few layers of corrugated cardboard be-
tween the upper and lower push bars and the en-
gine in order to prevent any chafing.
12. Storage
• Never store the mower (with petrol in the tank) in-
side a building in which petrol fumes could come
into contact with open flames or sparks.
• Allow the motor to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
• In order to avoid fire hazards, keep the engine, ex -
haust and the area around the fuel tank free from
grass, leaves and leaking grease (oil).
Preparing the mower for long-term storage
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed
areas, near fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
• Start the engine and let it run until any remaining
petrol has been used up.
• Change the oil at the end of every season. To do
so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine
and refill with fresh oil.
• Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
• Fill the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an
oil can.
• Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will bathe
the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark plug back
in.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the hous -
ing.
• Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the
paint.
• Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket (16)
and especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use. Reattach the grass basket (16) only when the
engine is switched off and the blade is stopped. Using
one hand, lift up the chute flap (15), while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top. Fig. 9
After mowing
• Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top
of the mower.
• Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any
loose screws.
• Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).
• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
• Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address
on the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.
10. Cleaning
Cleaning
The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after
each use. In particular, the underside and the blade
retainer.
m
Attention!
For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable
before cleaning.
It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark
plug should point upwards to prevent engine oil from
entering the intake tract or leaking out.
Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but
you must make sure that the air filter is on the upper
side.
Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel
tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump.
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.
It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately
after mowing.
Grass residues and dirt that have dried on can impair
mowing. Check that the grass ejection channel is
clear of grass residues and remove these if neces-
sary.
Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pres-
sure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as
cold cleaners or white spirit.
