Air filter
The fir filter must be checked and cleaned regularly. If the filter has not been cleaned for
some time, the power of the engine is reduced, and the engine may be damaged.
1. Clean around the air filter before it is removed.
2. Press down the two flaps and carefully pull of the cover.
3. Carefully remove the paper filter and check it. Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very
dirty, it must be changed. Take care that no dirt gets into the intake of the engine.
4. Wash the black foam element on the right side in warm soapy water.
5. Press the water out of the foam element and let it dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil
on the filter to moisten it lightly with oil. Carefully squeeze out any surplus oil.
Remount the element.
6. Check that all parts are fitted correctly and the cover closed as shown in the picture.
Storing and maintenance
Maintain your lawnmower on a regular basic:
Check all bolts, screws and deck. Always make sure the knife is sharp. It is
recommended that the knife is changed every 2 years.
It is a good idea to let your local service shop check your lawnmower once a year.
Storing:
Keep the lawnmower in dry clean room. Clean the machine every time it
has been used. Grass and dirt must be removed from the inside of the cutting deck.
Tilt the front of the lawnmower for cleaning, maximum 45 degrees. If you tilt it to the
side, the carburettor and air filter must always turn up. If it does not turn up, the oil
may run out and damage the engine. Always make sure the cap is removed from
the spark plug when the lawnmower is being maintained.
Winter storage:
Empty the fuel tank and let the engine run until there is no fuel left.
Remove the cap for the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug and add one tablespoon of oil in the hole. Pull the starting
cord several times. Mount the spark plug, but not the cap.
Change oil according to the above chapter
