NOTE
Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank fully
using a fuel extraction pump (not included in the scope
of delivery).
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.
1. It is best to tilt the lawnmower backwards. Make sure
that the spark plug (16a) is pointing upwards. If the
spark plug (16a) points downwards, oil can leak out
and cause major damage to the engine and carburet-
tor.
2. Alternatively, you can tilt the product on its side, but
you must make sure that the air filter cover (12) is on
the upper side.
3. Clean the underside of the lawnmower with a spatula
and hand brush. The spatula helps to remove coarse
and larger plant debris from the area of the blade (27).
Cleaning the underbody is easier and more thorough
immediately after use. Then dirt and plant residues
are still fresh and can be loosened more easily.
4. If necessary and if the dirt is difficult to remove, you
can also use a special cleaner. Do not use aggressive
cleaning products such as cold cleaners or white spir-
it.
5. Check that the grass ejection is clear of grass resi-
dues and remove these if necessary.
13.2 Cleaning the lawnmower via the
water connection (14) (Fig. 1, 16)
NOTE
Push the spark plug connector onto the spark plug
properly again.
1. First remove the mulching insert (26) or the grass col-
lection basket (23).
2. For cleaning, connect a garden hose to the water con-
nection (14) via the built-in plug-in coupling.
3. Turn on the water and start the lawnmower
(see11.4.1).
4. The rotating blade (27) swirls the water.
5. After a few minutes, the lawnmower is free of all ad-
hering dirt and grass residues.
6. Allow the lawnmower to run for a short time without
water to remove most of the moisture through the cir-
culating air of the blade (27).
13.3 Cleaning the V-belt (32) (Fig. 17)
1. Tilt the lawnmower backwards.
2. Use a hand brush or compressed air to clean the V-
belt (32) after each use.
