CHANGING BLADES
Wear protective gloves when changing
blade(s) to avoid cutting yourself.
Check the blade system regularly. Check
particularly the curved area behind the
blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade
shows traces of damage it should be re-
placed. A worn blade creates imbalance
and can damage the mower.
Always check the blades after a collision. First dis-
connect the spark plug cable. If the blade system
has been damaged, defective parts should be re-
placed. Always use genuine spare parts.
To replace the blade, slacken the screw (fig. 22).
Fit the new blade so that the stamped logo is turned
up facing the blade holder (not facing the grass).
Reinstall the washer and screw. Tighten the screw
properly. Tightening torque 40 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into ob-
stacles.
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or
damage, even if they fit the machine.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharp-
ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature
could cause the blades to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced to avoid vibra-
tion damage.
STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark
plug.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICE
ACCESSORIES/SPARE PARTS
Always use genuine spare parts and ac-
cessories. Non-genuine spare parts and
accessories have not been checked and
approved by the lawnmower manufac-
turer. Use of non-genuine spare parts
and accessories can lead to the risk of in-
jury, even if they fit the machine. The
lawnmower manufacturer does not ac-
cept any liability for injuries caused by
the use of such parts or accessories.
Genuine spare parts are stocked by authorised
service centres and by many dealers.
We recommend that you take the machine to an au-
thorised service station for annual servicing, main-
tenance and inspection of safety equipment.
For service and spare parts, please contact the deal-
er where the machine was purchased.
