Cleaning And Lubrication - KLIPPO LAWNMASTER Bedienungsanleitung

The drive clutch has two methods of adjustment.
Loosen the drive clutch cable inline adjuster (E), tighten
one turn and re-check the engagement. The correct enga-
gement is achieved when there is approximately 25 mm of
gap between the lower (roller) lever and the handlebar with
full clutch engagement.
If this adjustment is not attainable with this method it is
necessary to remove the 'slack' from the system by tighte-
ning the locknut (F) on the clutch rod a turn at a time until
the required movement is achieved.
Once the adjustments to the clutch cables have been
made and the mower drive is correct, fi nally replace the
shaft cover.
Grass thrower adjustment
The grass thrower will require adjustment in certain grass
conditions or after prolonged use of the mower as the
knifes wear. This will be noticeable by the reduced ef-
fi ciency to catch grass and to fi ll the catcher. The closer
that the grass thrower is to the periphery of the cutting reel,
the better the catching ability and the harder the grass is
thrown.
First slacken the two retaining screws and pull the grass
thrower forward to reduce the gap between it and the cut-
ting cylinder without it touching to avoid unnecessary noise
and wear on the plate and the cylinder. A little trial and
error will soon achieve the optimum position. Re-tighten
the retaining screws while holding the grass thrower in po-
sition. If the grass throwing ability is not improved by these
adjustments it will be necessary to take the mower to an
authorized service agent for checking over and possible
modifi cation to the grass thrower plate.
Catcher
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deteriora-
tion.

Cleaning and lubrication

After use it is important that the mower is thoroughly clea-
ned down and inspected so that it will be in good working
order the next time it is required. Disconnect the spark
plug lead and thoroughly clean the engine, underside of
the chassis, rollers and grass catcher. Where water is used
under pressure it is important that all the grease and lubri-
cation points are lubricated to force out the water that can
sit in the bottom of bearings and chains prior to storage.
Do not use a water hose around the engine as this may
contaminate the fuel or enter the ignition system and result
in poor engine performance and starting problems.
Muffl er
The muffl er gets very hot in use and remains so for a short
time afterwards. Do not touch the muffl er if it is hot!
To reduce the fi re hazard, clean dirt, leaves and surplus
lubricant, etc from the muffl er and engine.
Storage
After each mowing season or if the mower is not going to
be used for 30 days or more, it is recommended that the
fuel shut off valve be closed and the fuel tank be drained
as fuel has a shelf life of only about 30 days. The mower
should then be started up and run until all of the fuel left
in the system is used. Run the engine until it is warm and
drain the engine oil and refi ll with the correct grade to the
required level. Remove the spark plug and pour 15cc of
engine oil into the cylinder, crank slowly to distribute the
oil and replace the spark plug. Store the mower in a clean
dry area away from direct sunlight as this will have an aging
effect on the plastic catcher assembly.
Adjust the cutting cylinder away from the bottom blade and
apply a thin layer of grease to the cutting edges to prevent
corrosion through the storage period. If possible, spray the
mower with a thin fi lm of light oil to protect it.
