Maintenance - KLIPPO LAWNMASTER Bedienungsanleitung

WARNING! Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped
before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Discon-
nect the HT lead from the spark plug.
Engine
Read the operator's manual supplied by the engine manu-
facturer.
Fuel
If the fuel has to be drained for maintenance or any other
reason, this should be done outdoors. Contact your local
petrol station to fi nd out where to dispose of excess fuel.
Checking the engine's oil level
The engine is delivered without oil. Engine oil requires
changing after the initial fi rst fi ve hours of use, and then
every 50 hours of normal use and 25 hours of heavy use
thereafter. The lawn mower should stand on fl at ground
when you check the oil level. Ensure the ignition lead has
been removed from the spark plug before you open the oil
fi ller cap. If the oil level is low, fi ll using engine oil up to the
upper level on the dipstick. Screw on the oil fi ller cap.
CAUTION! The engine is equipped with a oil level breaker
that shuts off the engine if the oil level is too low. The brea-
ker can also trip if the machine is operated in steep slopes.
Clean the air cleaner
Remove and clean the air fi lter cartridge at three monthly
intervals or every 25 hours of use. The air fi lter cartridge
may require servicing more often under dusty operating
conditions. To service the air cleaner cartridge, follow the
procedures. Loosen the screws and remove the cartridge.
Blow a gentle air line through the cartridge in the opposite
direction to normal engine operation. If the cartridge is
excessively dirty, it should be replaced.
Spark plug
If the machine is low on power, diffi cult to start or runs po-
orly at idle speed: always check the spark plug fi rst before
taking other steps. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at
the same time check that the electrode gap is 0.6 mm.
Kylluftsintag
Check that the cooling intake is free from leaves, grass and
dirt. Clean if necessary.
Throttle control
Lubricate the throttle cable by applying a light oil to the top
of the inner wire and allowing it to gravity drain down the
inside. The throttle control lever quadrant should have a
medium grease smeared over it to protect it from corrosion
and to give a smooth operation.
Clutch cables and pivots
Lubricate the clutch cable by applying a light oil to the top
of the inner wire and allowing it to gravity drain down the
inside. The cable pivot also requires occasional lubrication
to allow free movement of the mechanisms.
Fasteners and linkages
Check that all nuts, bolts, pins and linkages are secured
correctly in place and are in good condition to maintain the
mower´s safety and function.

MAINTENANCE

Drive chain tension
It will be necessary after the initial 5 hours and every 25
hours of use thereafter to check and adjust the tension
of the drive chains. The chain guard must be removed
from the mower frame to get access to the transmission
system. Wear in the reel drive chain is compensated for by
the sprung chain tensioner shoe. As the motor / clutch and
clutch / roller chains stretch, the clutch assembly must be
moved in order to obtain the correct slack in each chain.
The nut at the bottom of the clutch mount plate must
be slackened and the clutch assembly moved forward
and down to take out the excess slack. There should be
approximately 3 - 5mm of slack in each chain for correct
adjustment. It would be worthwhile at this stage to inspect
the bearings and sprockets for excessive wear. Replace
worn or damaged parts before further use.
Clutch wire
Remove the drive shaft cover and inspect the fl exible
coupling 'spider' for signs of wear every 50 hours of
operation.
General lubrication
Grease nipples are provided in the cutting cylinder bearings
(and roller bearing housings on the Golf model) and should
be greased every 25 hours.
Clutch cable adjustments
After several hours of operation the clutch cables may
require adjustment to obtain the correct drive. This may
be due to either the clutch cable stretching or the clutch
plates wearing, therefore not allowing suffi cient travel on
the clutches to engage the drives. There is adjustment in
the cable assemblies to accommodate the wear.
The following procedures should be followed. Remove the
shaft cover and put to one side with the fasteners. Loosen
D
the reel clutch cable inline adjuster (D) and tighten one
turn. Re-check the reel clutch engagement, and continue
this procedure until the reel drive is fully engaged when the
upper (reel) lever is fully depressed onto the handlebar.
