7.4 Emptying the debris bag
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the debris bag.
Important! Before taking off the debris bag,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the debris bag, use one hand to lift up
the chute flap and the other to grab onto the debris bag
handle (Fig. 4). Remove the debris bag.
down after removing the debris bag and closes off
the rear chute opening.
If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier
to restart the engine if you pull the mower back
approx. 1 meter.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the debris bag and
especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use.
Reattach the debris bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.

Important: The enclosed engine manual from

information and maintenance interval information
on the engine.
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.
8.2 Maintenance
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance
information and maintenance interval information
on the engine.
Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the
blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to
rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been
switched off. Never attempt to manually stop the
blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely
attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the
contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it.
In the event that the blade strikes an object,
immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for
the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect
the condition of the blade and the blade mount.
Replace any parts that are damaged.
6.
Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
7.
Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see
8.
If the lawn mower is not going to be used for
an extended period, empty the petrol tank
using a petrol suction pump.
9.
Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not
a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the machine.
