suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket (16)
and especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use. Reattach the grass basket (16) only when the
engine is switched off and the blade is stopped. Using
one hand, lift up the chute ap (15), while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top. Fig. 9
After mowing
Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top
of the mower.
Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any
loose screws.
Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).
Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address
on the warranty certicate).
If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
Oil and maintain the machine.
9. Maintenance and cleaning
Regular, careful maintenance is required to guar-
antee the safety level and performance of the ma-
chine.
Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight-
ened securely and that the machine is in safe work-
ing condition.
Routinely check the grass basket for signs of wear
and impaired functionality.
Regularly clean the grass box with water and let it
dry thoroughly.
For your own safety, replace worn or damaged
parts without delay.
If the fuel tank should require emptying this should
only be done in the open air using a petrol suction
pump (available from DIY shops).

m WARNING
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ig-
nition unit with the engine running. Always pull the
spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting
any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any
work on the machine while it is running. Any work not
described in these Operating Instructions must be
performed by an authorized service workshop only.
Cleaning
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after
every use, especially the underneath and the blade
mount. To remove the gras, tip the lawn mower onto
its left side (the opposite side to the oil lling socket)
or clean the mower with water as descript below:
Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
Fit the hose connection to the mower and turn the
tap on. (Fig. 23)
Start the mower and switch off again after about 30
seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water
onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp
objects).
•
m Note! Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side,
completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol suc-
tion pump. The lawn mower must never be tilted by
more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass is easiest to
remove immediately after you have nished mowing
the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in poorer
mowing performance. Check that the grass chute is
free of any residual grass. Remove any such resi-
due. Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or
high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold
cleaner or petroleum ether.
Wheel axles and wheel hubs
These should be lightly greased once a season.
Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade
sharpened, balanced and mounted by an authorized
service workshop. For optimum results it is recommend-
ed that the blade should be inspected once a year.
Changing the blade (Fig. 17)
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced.
Wear gloves when replacing the blade in order to pre-
vent injury.
Never have any other blade tted.
Empty the fuel tank before removing the blade
To replace the blade, undo the screw.
Reinstall as illustrated in Fig. 17. Tighten the screw
properly. Tightening torque 45 Nm. When replacing
the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.
Damaged blades
Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come
into contact with an obstruction, shut down the en-
gine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip
the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for
damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.
Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight
again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily
worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead
to further damage to the lawn mower.
