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 prevent injury.
Never have any other blade fitted.
• 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 re-
placing 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.
m CAUTION! There is a risk of injury if you work with a damaged blade.
Resharpening the blade
The blades can be resharpened with a metal file. In order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be
resharpened by an authorized service workshop
Checking the oil level
m CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too little oil. This could cause severe damage to the
engine. Use only SAE30 engine oil.
Checking the oil level (Fig. 18):
• Stand the lawn mower on a flat level surface.
• Unscrew the oil dip stick (12) by turning anticlockwise, pull out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back in
the filling mount as far as the stop, but do not screw back in.
• Pull out the dip stick (12) again and read off the oil level while holding horizontally. The oil level
must be between the maximum and the minimum
Changing the oil Fig. 23
• Change the engine oil every year before the start of the season when the engine is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30).
• Empty the fuel tank (with a petrol suction pump)
• Place a flat oil drip tray in front of the mower (min. volume 1 Litre).
• Remove the dipstick and tip over the mower until the whole oil is run out into the oil drip tray.
• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the dipstick (approx. 0,5 l).
• Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to check the oil level – only insert it as far as the thread.
Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.
Cleaning the belts (Fig. 17, 19)
• Remove the knife and the gear housing by loosening the screws out.
• Clean the elements of the transmission and the belt once or twice a year with brush or compressed
air.
• Screw the transmission housing and the knife on again.
