Maintenance
Changing the Oil
Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil ller, have a container ready to catch the oil and remove the
dipstick. Once the oil has been emptied, wipe clean any spillages.
Rell with 600ml SAE30 oil or equivalent ie SAE5W/30, SAE10W/30). When the dipstick is rested
on the ller pipe, the oil level must be between the min and max marks on the dipstick.
See “Filling with Engine Oil’’. Do not overll.
Start the engine and allow it to run briey.
Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top up if necessary.
Replacing Cutting Blade
WARNING!
- Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade stops
completely.
- You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench to remove the blade.
- Always handle the blade with care- sharp edges could cause injury USE GLOVES.
- Don’t hold the blade by hand directly.
IMPORTANT! Disconnect the spark plug before doing any maintenance.
Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs which ever is sooner regardless of
condition.
Regularly check your blade. If the cut of your grass is poor, the blade might be blunt. Damaged
blades not only result in a bad cut, they cause excessive vibration and uneconomical running of
the engine. If the blade has worn excessively and become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or
sharpened.
