To remove the blade, loosen the screw, check the blade bracket, and replace all parts if they are worn or
damaged.
When reassembling the blade, make sure that the cutting edges are in the same direction as the
direction of rotation of the motor. The tightening torque of the blade screw should be 3.7 kg * m / s 2 (37
Nm) and can be checked with a torque wrench.
c. Storing the mower
Store your mower in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flames, sparks or heat sources. If the storage
area is accessible to children, immobilise the machine by disconnecting the spark
plug’s cap. Storing the
mower beneath a tarpaulin or similar cover is not recommended as it may cause a build
‐
up of
condensation resulting in corrosion of the mower.
Extended shutdown and winter storage
Thoroughly clean the mower. Ideally, run the engine outdoors until the fuel tank is empty. Alternatively,
empty any remaining fuel using a fuel suction pump.
Dispose of discarded fuel safely and responsibly, remembering that petrol vapours can cause explosion
or fire. Run the engine until any remaining fuel is consumed. Allow the engine to cool. Check the
condition and cleanliness of the air cleaner. Remove the spark plug from the engine and pour a
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Gently pull the starter rope several times to turn over the
engine, distributing the oil to protect the cylinder over winter. Replace and tighten the spark plug.
At the start of the new season
Remove the spark plug and gently clean off any carbon deposits from the tip with a small copper wire
brush, finishing off with petrol. Allow the spark plug to dry. Pull the starter rope several times to expel
excess oil from the cylinder. Replace and tighten the spark plug. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol.
Turn over the engine until it starts.
Before transporting the mower
Thoroughly clean the mower. Empty the fuel tank using a suction pump. Dispose of discarded fuel safely
and responsibly, remembering that petrol vapours can cause explosion or fire. Run the engine until any
remaining fuel is consumed.
Allow the engine to cool. Remove the grass collection bag. Loosen the quick release and fold down the
top section of the handles taking care not to bend the cables.
To avoid scratching the mower, insert corrugated cardboard or similar padding between the upper and
lower handlebars and the engine.
Due to the
mower’s weight, use ramps or seek assistance when lifting or loading the mower.
d. Mower maintenance
Cutting system
Before and after each mowing session, check that the blade, its attachment bolts and drive shaft are not
damaged or excessively worn. Never try to straighten a bent blade. Replace a damaged, worn or bent
blade as soon as possible. Use only genuine parts. Excessive vibration when mowing is a good
indication of a problem with the cutting system.
WARNING: Vibration from a bent or damaged blade can cause costly damage to the mower. Working
with an excessively worn blade wastes fuel and can lead to injury if the blade becomes detached from
the machine.
