10. Maintenance and Care
For your own safety, remove the spark
plug cap from the spark plug prior to any
maintenance work or cleaning (12).
Any maintenance and care that go
beyond the described explanations need
to be left to an authorized Service Center.
10.1 Cleaning the Mower
After each use, the mower needs to be thoroughly
cleaned. Special attention needs to be given to the
lower side, the blade and the cutting area circle.
Tip: To enable the lawnmower to be maintained
and cleaned with an empty fuel tank, fill only
enough fuel for the mowing job in hand. That way,
the tank can be quickly emptied after mowing has
been completed.
After releasing handle Screw (15), the mower can
be raised onto its rear wheels and be supported on
the lower handle. First pull the spark plug cap. The
fuel tank should be empty, if possible, to prevent
fuel spilling from the fuel tank cap. Catch any fuel
running out of the carburettor with a suitable rag.
Dirt and grass debris is removed easily
immediately after mowing. Imbedded grass debris
and dirt on the mower deck‘s lower section
interrupt the grass collection and affect cutting
results. Imbedded dirt on the blade and on the
blower wheel lead to imbalance and consequently
to vibration. Check also for cleanliness of the duct.
The ejection air duct can be cleaned with a small
stick or with a screw driver.
Do not spray the mower with a hose or high
pressure cleaning hose. The engine has to
remain dry. The outer deck parts can simply be
kept clean by wiping the unit off with a rag. Strong
cleaning agents of any kind are not to be used.
10.2 Wheel axles and wheel hubs
Wheel axles and wheel hubs are to be lubricated
occasionally (at least once a year). Remove wheel
cap, release screw and remove wheel. During
disassembly observe the sequence for the
reassembly of the parts. We recommend SOLO
bearing grease, part no. 00 83 175.
10.3 Height adjustment
Before storing your lawnmower out of season clean
and lubricate the wheel adjuster spindle with
grease (this procedure is necessary at least
annually).
• For this, set the wheel adjuster to its highest
position (max), clean and lubricate the
exposed part of the spindle with grease
- then set the wheel adjuster to its lowest
position (min), clean and lubricate the
remaining spindle with grease. For this, we
recommend SOLO bearing grease, part no. 00
83 175.
10.4 Air filter Maintenance
Attention: Dirty air filters reduce the engine‘s
efficiency, the carburetor does not receive
sufficient air flow. Routine inspection, especially in
dusty conditions, is essential.
Attention: Never clean air filter parts with gasoline
or flammable solvents. Danger of fire or explosion!
Observe all instructions in the respective engine
owners manual.
