Ensure that the quick release
tensioning levers (26) come to a
stop on the side.
When cleaning or servicing the
appliance, ask someone to hold
the tilted appliance.
Risk of injury if the equipment
tilts back.
Do not tilt the equipment sideways
or forwards. Operating fluids could
leak out and the engine could be
damaged.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a toothbrush or cloth but no
corrosive cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use water to clean the engine as
it could contaminate the fuel system.
• After mowing, remove plant remains
that are stuck to the equipment by us-
ing a piece of wood or plastic. Clean
the vent holes ( 11), ejection hole
and blade area especially. Do not use
hard or pointed objects, which could
damage the equipment.
• Oil the wheels from time to time.
• Before each use, check the lawnmow-
er for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check that
all nuts bolts and screws are sitting
firmly.
• Check covers and guards ( 3, 8,
12, 15) for damage and that they are
sitting correctly. Replace if necessary.
Cleaning / Replacing the Air
Filter
Do not operate the equipment
without the air filter otherwise dust
and dirt will get into the engine and
result in damage to the machine.
1. Fold out the air filter box cover
(13) and remove the air filter
(14).
2. Clean the air filter (14) in soap
solution and allow it to dry.
Knead a few drops of fresh oil
into the air filter.
3. Replace a defective air filter
with a new filter (see “Spare
Parts”).
4. To install, place the air filter (14)
in the air filter box (13) and re-
close it.
Maintaining the Spark Plug
A worn spark plug or a spark gap
that is too large will result in a re-
duction of engine performance.
1. Disconnect the spark plug con-
nector (16) from the spark plug
by simultaneously pulling and
turning.
2. Unscrew the spark plug (17) an-
ticlockwise using the enclosed
spark plug wrench ( 29).
3. Check the spark gap using a
feeler gauge (available from
specialist shops). The spark gap
must be at least 0.76 mm.
4. If necessary, adjust the gap by
carefully bending the ground
electrode on the spark plug.
5. Clean the spark plug with a wire
brush.
6. Insert the cleaned and adjusted
spark plug or replace a damaged
spark plug with a new one (rec-
ommended torque 20 Nm, de-
termined with a torque wrench)
(see “replacement parts“).
