Air Filter

The air filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly.
If the filter has not been cleaned for a long time, the
engine's power will drop.
See Illustration 35
1. Clean around the air filter before removing the
cap.
2. Push the two flaps down and gently pull the
cover
3. Carefully remove the paper filter and inspect it.
Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty,
replace it. Be careful that no dirt gets into the
inlet.
4. Wash the black foam element in the right side
in warm water and soap.
5. Press the water out of the foam element and
let it dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the
filter to moisten it lightly. Carefully squeeze
any surplus oil out of the foam element and
reattach.
6. Please note that all parts are assembled
correctly and properly closed, as shown in the
picture.

Blade

Inspection of the blade
•
Tilt the mower with the front upwards.
•
Inspect blade for damage, cracks or excessive
rust or corrosion.
•
Check that the blade bolt is tightened.
Note: A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that
is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be
replaced.
Removing the blade: See illustration 34
If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you
must use a torque wrench and some heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
1. Loosen the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to
prevent the blade from turning around.
2. Remove the bolt, washer, blade and blade
holder in that order
3. Sharpen or replace the blade.
4. Insert the blade holder, blade, washer and bolt
in that order.
5. Tighten the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to
prevent the blade from turning around.
Warning: A blade must be sharpened so it is in
100 % balance, otherwise it may cause vibrations that
could damage the engine. Damage to engine due to
faulty sharpening is not covered by warranty. We
therefore recommend letting a service center sharpen
the blade.

Spark plug

1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Brush off dirt from the spark plug.
3. Use a spark plug wrench to loosen the spark
plug.
4. Check the insulation is intact.
5. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.

damage the electrode.

Storage and maintenance

Maintain your lawnmower: Check all bolts, screws,
nuts and deck. Always make sure that the blade is
sharp. It's a good idea to take your lawn mower to an
annual service check with your authorized service
dealer. See your nearest service center at
www.texas.dk.
Storage: After use the lawnmower kept in a dry and
clean room. Clean the machine after every use. Grass
and dirt must be removed from the underside of the
deck. By tipping the mower (for cleaning) is
recommended to tilt the front up (max. 45 degrees). If
you tilt it sideways, the carburetor and air filter always
face upwards, since oil may run out and destroy the
engine. Be aware that removing the spark plug before
the mower maintenance.
Winter storage: Empty the fuel tank and let the engine
run until the gasoline in the carburetor is used up. Spark
plug removed. Remove the spark plug and add a
teaspoon of oil (engine oil) in the hole. Pull the starter to
distribute oil. Mount the spark plug, but no cable.
Change oil cf. the section above. Finally, the mower
cleaned thoroughly. Dip a cloth in oil and lubricating the
various parts to prevent rust.
