ve any if necessary. Never clean the mower using
a high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain
dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such
as cold cleaners or petroleum ether.
Warning!
•
Leave the mower in the vertical cleaning po-
sition only for as long as necessary because
in this position there is a considerable risk of
injury.
•
Never leave the mower unsupervised.
•
Keep children away.
7.1.2 Automatic cleaning of the mowing deck
by means of the hos connection (Fig. 17/
Item 19)
The mowing deck is tted with a hose connection
(Item 19) (suitable for conventional garden hose
couplings). The lawn mower should be cleaned
thoroughly every time after it has been used.
Warning!
Switch o the engine before you do any work on
the mower. Risk of injury from rotating blades.
Keep the ejector ap (Item 5a) closed when you
carry out the cleaning. Risk of injury from catapul-
ted parts.
1. Place the mower on a rm, level surface. The
mower must stand on 4 wheels as in mowing
mode. Take o the catch basket (Item 4a) and
make sure that the mulching adapter (Item
4b) has been removed.
2. Connect the water hose to the hose connec-
tion (19).
3. Turn on the tap. Water will ow into the inside
of the mowing deck.
4. Start the engine. See section 6.1.
5. Automatic cleaning will begin. The rotating
blades will cast the water against the mowing
deck and therefore clean it from the inside.
A cleaning period of 1-2 minutes is enough
when carried out regularly.
To remove dried grass residues we recommend
carrying out several cleaning cycles. Wait a few
minutes between the cleaning cycles so that the
dried grass can soak and soften up.
Important!
Never clean the mower using a high-pressure
cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners
or petroleum ether.

7.2 Maintenance
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Note: Dispose of soiled maintenance material
and operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
7.2.1 Petrol engine
Note! Never run the engine with no or too little oil.
This can cause serious damage to the engine.
Checking the oil level
Place the lawn mower so that it stands level. Un-
screw the oil dipstick (Fig. 9a/Item 7) by turning
it counter-clockwise and wipe the dipstick. Re-
insert the dipstick into the ller opening as far as it
will go but do not screw it in. Pull out the dipstick,
hold it horizontally and read o the oil level. The
oil level must be between the two marks min. and
max. on the oil dipstick (Fig. 9b).
Changing the oil
The engine oil is best changed when the engine
has been switched o but is still warm.
1. Make sure that the debris bag has been re-
moved.
2. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction
pump and run the engine until the remaining
fuel is fully consumed.
3. Place an oil drip tray alongside the mower.
4. Open the oil ller plug (Item 7) and tilt the mo-
wer 90° sideways.
5. The hot oil will ow through the open oil ller
opening into the oil drip tray.
6. After the old oil has drained out, set the mo-
wer upright again.
7. Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
dip stick.
8. Dispose of the used oil in accordance with
applicable regulations.
7.2.2 Blades
For safety reasons, have all blade sharpening,
balancing and mounting work carried out by an
authorized service center. To achieve optimal re-
sults, we recommend having the blades checked
once a year.
