Expert inspection is required:
a) If the lawn mower strikes an object.
b) If the motor stops suddenly
c) If the blade is bent (do not align!)
d) If the gears are damaged.
Replacing and resharpening the mowing blade at the
end of the mowing season always resharpen the mow-
ing blade or, if required, replace the mowing blade with
a new one. Always have the mowing blade resharpened
or replaced by a customer service centre (measurement
of imbalance).
Unbalanced blades will cause the lawn mower to vibrate
violently-risk of accident!
Change the blade
Caution: do not touch rotating blade
To remove the blade, unscrew the screw, check the
blade support and change all spare parts if they are worn
out or damage.
When reassembling the blade, make sure that the cut-
ting edges face in the direction of the engine rotation.
Engine oil replacement
1. Place the machine on even and stable surface. Warm
up the engine for several minutes and then stop it.
2. Loose the engine oil cap, the drain bolt and sealing
washer.
3. Drain oil into a container thoroughly by tilting the
engine toward the oil filler neck (fig. 20).
4. Once emptied, tilt the machine back and places it in
right position.
5.
Refill with recommended oil to the upper limit of
the filler neck, and check oil level which should be
between the max. and min. level.
6. Reinstall the engine oil cap.

3. Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.6-0.7 mm (see
fig.21 & 22).
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid
cross-threading.
5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with spark plug
wrench to compress the washer.

Clean the air filter
Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter
element. To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace
the air filter cover. Wash the filter element in warm soap
water, rinse and allow drying naturally.
Warning!
Never run the engine without the air filter
element installed.

for longer periods of inactivity (> 6 months).
Charging procedure:
1. Remove the charger from the battery box.
2.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motor cable (fig.
