Care and adjustment of the cables
Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.
Ensure that the cable pulls are not kinked.
Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 20)
A soiled air filter will reduce the performance of the
engine because it will prevent enough air getting to
the carburetor. It is therefore imperative that regular
checks are made. The air filter should be checked
every 25 hours and cleaned if required. If the air is very
dusty the air filter should be checked more regularly.
Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter
element. To avoid objects falling into the air intake, re-
place the air filter cover. (Fig. 20).
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or in-
flammable cleaning agents. Clean the air filter with
compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.
Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 21)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours
of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper
wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after
every 50 hours of operation.
Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the
spark plug (10) with a spark plug wrench.
Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030").
Refit the spark plug taking care not to overtighten.

10. Storage
• 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 mow-
er 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 are-
as, 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 housing.
• Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the
paint.
• Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
