MAINTENANCE - All mowers
To Stop the engine
Move the throttle control lever to the “STOP” position. Refer figure 9.
Wait till the engine comes to a complete stop before removing or fitting the grass
catcher or mulch plug to the mower, or attempting any maintenance work on the
mower.
Engine air cleaner
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for detailed maintenance instructions.
The engine air cleaner elements must be serviced after every 25 hours of normal
mowing. The elements must be serviced more regularly if the mower is used in dusty
conditions. Replace immediately if the element is damaged.
Spark plug
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for detailed maintenance instructions.
For best results, remove the spark plug every 50 hours for gap checking and replace
every 100 hours of use. Replace the spark plug at any time if it is found that the
electrodes are pitted or burned or the porcelain cracked. For replacement refer to
engine owner’s manual for correct spark plug.
Muffler
Check the condition of the muffler periodically for rust and cracks. Replace if found to
be damaged as this can lead to increased exhaust noise. Replace only with a
genuine original equipment part.
Blades -
refer figure 10.
Check the condition of the blades and central fasteners at regular intervals, or after
striking a solid object, or if the mower begins to vibrate abnormally. The blades with
use, will lose their sharp edge and the quality of the grass finish will deteriorate.
When this happens, all the blades should be removed and replaced with a new set of
blades. Always use genuine
Rover
replacement blades and only replace blades in
sets to maintain balance.
Cutting Assembly
With the engine stopped, remove the spark plug lead and grass catcher or mulch
plug.
Set the height of cut lever to the high cut position, and fold the handle bars.
Tilt the mower so the spark plug is up.
Inspect the cutting assembly for damage and wear.
Check the disc retaining bolts. Tighten the centre bolt to 57-62Nm.
Return the mower to its normal position and re-attach the spark plug lead.
