8.2.1 Wheel axles and wheel hubs
These should be lightly greased once a season. To
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
authorized service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.
Changing the blade (Fig. 7)
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 authorized service workshop.
8.2.3 Care and adjustment of the cables
Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.
8.2.4 Repairs
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.
mportant:
In accordance with product liability
legislation we are not liable for any damages caused
by improper repairs or the use of spare parts that are
not original spare parts or parts approved by us. In
addition, we are also not liable for any damages
arising from improper repairs. Such work should be
performed by a customer services workshop or
authorized specialist. The same applies to accessory
parts.
8.2.5 Times of use
Please comply with statutory regulations, which may
vary from location to location.
8.3 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.
1. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining
petrol has been used up.
3. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect
the paint.
4.
Store the equipment in a well-ventilated storage
space or location.
8.4 Preparing the lawn mower for transportation
1.
Drain the gasoline tank with a gasoline draw
pump (8.3/1).
2.
Allow the engine to run until all gasoline residue is
used up.
3.
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm.
4.
Disconnect the spark-plug connector from the
spark plug.
5.
Clean the casing.
6.
Unhook the starter cable from the hook (Fig. 3c).
Slacken the wing nuts and fold down the upper
push bar. Make sure that the cables do not get
kinked when the bar is pulled up.
7.
Wind several layers of corrugated cardboard
around the upper and bottom push-bar and the
engine to prevent chafing.
