WARNING
A blade by which the wear limit (marking) has been exceeded can break off and spin away; this can cause severe
injuries.
Replacing the blade
WARNING
The cutting blade bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop. A wrongly assembled cutting blade
coupling or a blade screw that is tightened too tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bar to become loose
and cause severe injuries.
– Only use original blades for replacement purposes.
– Blades must be indelibly marked with name and/or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier and with the parts number.
Servicing the wheels (Illustration S )
Oil the bearings of the wheels once a year or every 20 operating hours.
– Remove wheel covers.
– Loosen the hexagon head nuts using a socket wrench and remove the wheels.
– After oiling the bearings, push the wheels on and tighten them again so that they still turn easily but without any play.
Recharging the starter battery (only for electro-start)
IMPORTANT
Use the charger supplied only for charging the respective mower battery. Equally, do not try to charge your mower
using a different charger. You could endanger yourself or damage your equipment.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the charger, it may only be used indoors and in dry rooms and the
battery must not be charged in direct sunlight.
The battery can be charged in the assembled or disassembled state.
– Disconnect battery cable from cable harness.
– Removing the battery
To remove the battery, loosen the screws, take off the cover and take out the battery.
– Connect the battery cable to the original charging device and plug the charging device into a 230 V socket.
– After charging the battery, refasten to the battery holder (if the battery was dismounted for charging). Reconnect the
battery cable to the cable harness prior to mowing.

16 SERVICING THE ENGINE
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
WARNING
Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even with doors and windows open.
Move the machine to an outside area before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
When carrying out cleaning and maintenance work place the motor and/or mower on its left side (in the direction of
travel), but preferably tip it forwards O (spark plug pointing upwards), as otherwise you may have difficulties
starting it up again. When tilting the mower forwards, ensure that the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the
mower in the raised position!
ATTENTION
When tilting or placing the mower on its side, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the machine. Fire hazard!
The regular implementation of the prescribed maintenance and care work are the prerequisite for a permanent and fault-free
functionality of the motor and also the basic requirement for any guarantee claims.
The motor should be kept clean, particularly on the outside, and the silencer and cylinder area must always be kept free from
foreign bodies (e.g. grass residue). The exhaust and motor reach very high temperatures when in use. Flammable foreign
bodies such as foliage, grass etc. may catch fire.
Perfect cooling can also only ensured when cylinder ribs are always clean.
IMPORTANT
Never use a pressure cleaner or ordinary water jet to clean the motor. Damages or expensive repairs can be the
consequence of such action.
