General Cleaning and
Maintenance Work
. Do.not.hose.down.the.lawn-
mower.with.water.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a brush or cloth but no de-
tergent or solvent.
• After mowing, use a piece of wood
or plastic to remove adherent plant
remains from the wheels, ventilation
holes, ejection hole and blade area.
Do not use hard or pointed objects, as
these may damage the blade.
• Oil the wheels from time to time.
• Before each use, check the lawnmower
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts. Check that all nuts,
bolts and screws are sitting firmly.
• Check the covers and protective de-
vices for damage and check that they
are sitting correctly. Replace them if
necessary.
Changing the Blade
If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened
by a specialist workshop. If the blade is
damaged or showing signs of imbalance,
it must be replaced (see chapter on “Spare
Parts”).
I
1. Turn the equipment over.
2. Use sturdy gloves and hold the
blade firmly (23). Turn the blade
screw (22) anticlockwise off of
the motor spindle (24) using a
screwdriver (A/F width13).
3. Install the new blade in the
reverse order. Ensure that the
blade is positioned correctly and
the screw tightened firmly.
Storage
• Keep the equipment dry and out of
reach of children. Loosen the wing nuts
and fold down the handle bar so the
equipment takes up less space. Ensure
that the cable is not caught.
• Allow the motor to cool before storing
the equipment in a confined space.
• Do not cover the equipment with nylon
bags as moisture could build up.
We will not be liable for damages caused
by our equipment where these are caused
by improper repair or the use of non-
original parts or by use other than for the
intended purpose.
