• Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see
address on the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.
9. Maintenance and cleaning
• Regular, careful maintenance is required to gu-
arantee the safety level and performance of the
machine.
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
tightened securely and that the machine is in safe
working 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).
m WARNING
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the
ignition unit with the engine running. Always pull the
spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting
any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any
work on the machine while it is running. Any work not
described in these Operating Instructions must be
performed by an authorized service workshop only.
Cleaning
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after
every use, especially the underneath and the blade
mount. To remove the gras, tip the lawn mower onto
its left side (the opposite side to the oil filling socket)
or clean the mower with water as descript below:
• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
• Fit the hose connection to the mower and turn the
tap on. (Fig. 23)
• 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).
m Note!
Before you tip the lawn mower onto its
side, completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol
suction pump. The lawn mower must never be tilted
by more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass is easiest to
remove immediately after you have finished mowing
the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in poorer
mowing performance. Check that the grass chute is
free of any residual grass. Remove any such residue.
Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or
high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold
cleaner or petroleum ether.
Wheel axles and wheel hubs

• These should be lightly greased once a season.
Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorized service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.
Changing the blade (Fig.18)
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced.
Wear gloves when replacing the blade in order to
prevent injury.
Never have any other blade fitted.
• Empty the oil tank before removing the blade
• To replace the blade, undo the screw.
• Reinstall as illustrated in Fig. 18. Tighten the screw
properly. Tightening torque 45 Nm. When replacing
the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.
Damaged blades
Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come
into contact with an obstruction, shut down the
engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip
the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for
damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.
Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight
again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily
worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead
to further damage to the lawn mower.
m CAUTION!
There is a risk of injury if you work
with a damaged blade.
Resharpening the blade
The blades can be resharpened with a metal file.
In order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be
resharpened by an authorized service workshop
Checking the oil level
m CAUTION!
Never run the engine with no or
too little oil. This could cause severe damage to the
engine. Use only SAE30 engine oil.
Checking the oil level (Fig. 19):
• Stand the lawn mower on a flat level surface.
• Unscrew the oil dip stick (12) by turning anticlock-
wise, pull out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back
in the filling mount as far as the stop, but do not
screw back in.
• Pull out the dip stick (12) again and read off the oil
level while holding horizontally. The oil level must
be between the maximum and the minimum
Changing the oil (Fig. 20)
• Change the engine oil every year before the start
of the season when the engine is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30).
• The oil change can only be carried out by tilting the
lawn mower over the oil filler neck. Fig.20
Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable
regulations.
Care and adjustment of the cables
Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.
