After Mowing - Scheppach LMT225-53 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Tips for proper mowing:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over anything that could damage the mower. The
lawn mower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts
unless the mower has been switched off for a while and you know that they have cooled down!
• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.
• Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of artificial light is one reason not to mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine
vibrates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always
keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other
way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind you (especially little children, who
are more difficult to see).
• When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.
Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.
Emptying the grass basket
The debris bag (16) is equipped with a filling level indicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened by the air current
produced by the mower. If the flap falls during mowing, the debris bag (16) is full and should be emptied.
To ensure that the filling level indicator works properly, the holes under the flap must be kept clean and
permeable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
m WARNING
Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has come
to a stop.
To take off the grass basket (16), use one hand to lift up the chute flap (15) and the other to grab onto
the basket handle (Fig. 16). Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the chute flap (15) automatically
falls down after removing the grass basket and closes off the rear chute opening.
If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if you pull the mower back
approx. 1 meter. Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but
instead use 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
flap (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).
