5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction - maintenance
WARNING: The product must be
switched off before any maintenance is
done. The product is disabled when the LED
status indicator is not lit.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
For better operation and longer service life, make sure
to clean the product regularly and replace worn parts. All
maintenance and servicing must be done according to
Flymo's instructions. Refer to
Warranty on page 48
.
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount
of wear during this period has been low, the inspection
interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The
edges of the blades should not be damaged. The
lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for
instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
To replace the blades on
page 32
on how to replace the blades.
Note:
Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more
energy is needed resulting in the product not mowing
such a large area.

CAUTION:
Do not use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Do not use
solvents for cleaning.
Flymo recommends to use a special cleaning and
maintenance kit as an accessory. Speak to your Flymo
