Maintenance and storage
• Insufficient device maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
• Ensure that all screws have been tightened securely and that the device is in
a safe working condition.
The ejection flap must only be opened and the grass collecting bag or
mulch plug removed when the engine is turned off.
If the tank still contains petrol, never store a machine inside a building
where petrol fumes may come into contact with naked flames or sparks
or where they may ignite.
The engine and exhaust reach very high temperatures during operation.
Allow the machine to cool down for at least 15 minutes before starting
any maintenance or cleaning work.
• To avoid a fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler (exhaust) and fuel tank free of
grass, leaves or escaping oil (grease).
When tilting the machine upwards or placing it on its side, make sure no oil or
petrol escapes. Fire hazard!
Allow the engine to cool down before you store the machine in closed rooms.
Do not store the machine near open flames or sources of fire such as boilers or
heating systems.
Before you start mowing, always check the grass collecting equipment
for wear or loss of functionality.
Before using the machine, always check the condition and firm seating of
the blade. The blade fastening screw must always be tightened by an
authorised workshop. If the blade screw is tightened excessively or
insufficiently, blade coupling and cutter bar may be damaged or get loose,
which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must
imperatively be replaced.
The replacement, regrinding and balancing of the blade must be carried
out by an authorised workshop.
Due to an incorrectly assembled blade coupling, the cutter bar may
become loose, which can lead to serious injuries.
An incorrectly ground and unbalanced blade can cause strong vibrations
and damage the lawn mower.
• For reasons of safety, always replace worn or damaged parts.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
• When handling operating fluids, such as engine oil and fuel, suitable protective
equipment (e.g. suitable protective gloves) must be worn.
The data sheets of the operating fluids must be observed.
Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level surfaces
with the engine switched off and the spark plug connector disconnected.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top performance.
• Never remove the plug connector when the engine is running! Risk of electric
shock.
• Only remove the plug connector once the engine has cooled down. Risk of burns!
• Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Risk of electric shock.
• If the tank has to be emptied, this should be done in the open, and with a cold
engine. Take care to ensure that no fuel is spilt.
• Always keep the device in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of
children.
For reasons of warranty and safety, only genuine spare parts may be used.
Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
