• Only original parts or parts approved by the man-
ufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on
the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an ex-
tended period, empty the petrol tank using a petrol
suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.
10. Cleaning
The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after each
use. In particular, the underside and the blade retainer.
m Attention!
For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable
before cleaning.
It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark plug
should point upwards to prevent engine oil from enter-
ing the intake tract or leaking out.
Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you
must make sure that the air filter is on the upper side.
Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel
tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump.
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.
It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately
after mowing.
Grass residues and dirt that have dried on can impair
mowing. Check that the grass ejection channel is clear
of grass residues and remove these if necessary.
Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pres-
sure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold
cleaners or white spirit.

• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
• Fit the hose connection to the mower and turn the
tap on. (Fig. 24)
• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30
seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water
onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp
objects).
11. Transport
• Empty the petrol tank.
• Always let the engine run until it has used up the
remainder of petrol in the tank.
• Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.
• Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the hous-
ing.
• Remove the start tension cable (17) from the hook.
Loosen the quick-release lever (5) and fold the up-
per push bar down. Make sure the cables are not
bent during this process.
• Wedge a few layers of corrugated cardboard be-
tween the upper and lower push bars and the en-
gine in order to prevent any chafing.
12. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-free place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature lies between 5 and
30 ˚C.
Store the power tool in its original packaging.
Cover the power tool to protect it from dust or mois-
ture. Store the operating manual with the power tool.
• Never store the mower (with petrol in the tank) in-
side a building in which petrol fumes could come
into contact with open flames or sparks.
• Allow the motor to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
• In order to avoid fire hazards, keep the engine, ex-
haust and the area around the fuel tank free from
grass, leaves and leaking grease (oil).
Preparing the mower for long-term storage
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed
areas, near fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
• Start the engine and let it run until any remaining
petrol has been used up.
• Change the oil at the end of every season. To do
so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine
and refill with fresh oil.
• Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
• Fill the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an
oil can.
• Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will bathe
the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark plug back
in.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the hous-
ing.
• Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the
paint.
• Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
13. Maintenance
• Regular, careful maintenance is required to guar-
antee the safety level and performance of the ma-
chine.
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight-
ened securely and that the machine is in safe work-
ing condition.
• Routinely check the grass basket for signs of wear
and impaired functionality.
Regularly clean the grass box with water and let it
dry thoroughly.
• For your own safety, replace worn or damaged
parts without delay.
• If the fuel tank should require emptying this should
only be done in the open air using a petrol suction
pump (available from DIY shops).
