Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage, Transport And Ordering Of Spare Parts; Cleaning In The Vertical Cleaning Position (Fig. 9A/9B) - EINHELL GE-PM 53 VS HW B&S Originalbetriebsanleitung

Side ejector (Fig. 4b/4c)
You must fi t the mulching adapter (Item 4b) in or-
der to use the side ejector. Hook in the side ejec-
tor adapter (Fig. 4c/Item 4e) as shown in Fig. 4c.
Rear ejector (Fig. 4d)
To use the rear ejector function you must open
the ejector fl ap (Fig. 4d/Item 5a) slightly. Lock it
in place with the locking lever (Fig. 4d/Item A).
Swing up the locking lever and insert its foot into
the recess provided (Fig. 4d/Item B). The mul-
ching adapter (Item 4b) is not allowed to be fi tted
when the rear ejector is used.
6.3 Switching off the engine
All you have to do to switch off the engine is
release the engine start/stop lever (Fig. 5a/
Item 1a). Pull off the spark plug connector from
the spark plug in order to prevent the engine from
starting. Before you start the engine again, check
the cable of the engine brake. Check that the
actuator cable is correctly fi tted. If the switch-off
cable is kinked or damaged, it must be replaced.
6.4 Emptying the debris bag
When the debris bag is full, the air throughput will
be low and the level indicator (4c) will be up close
against the debris bag (Fig. 11). Empty the debris
bag and clear out the ejector chute.
Danger! Before taking off the debris bag,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade
has come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket carry-handle. Remove the basket (Fig. 4a).
For safety reasons, the chute fl ap automatically
falls down after removing the grass basket and
closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass
remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart
the engine if you pull the mower back approxi-
mately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
bag and especially the air grill must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.

Using one hand, lift up the chute fl ap, while grab-
bing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang
in the basket from the top.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Danger!
Never work on or touch any current-conducting
parts of the ignition system while the engine is
running. Pull the spark plug boot from the spark
boot before doing any maintenance or assembly
work. Never carry out any work on the equipment
while the engine is running. Work that is not de-
scribed in these operating instructions, should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
7.1 Cleaning
7.1.1 Cleaning in the vertical cleaning positi-
on (Fig. 9a/9b)
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies in
particular to its underside and the blade mount.
Note: Before tilting the lawn mower into the ver-
tical cleaning position, use a petrol extraction
pump to drain all the fuel out of the fuel tank. Do
not tilt the lawn mower by more than 90 degrees.
Important! Before moving the mower into the
vertical cleaning position, switch off the engine
and pull out the spark plug connector. Important!
Place the mower only on a fi rm, level surface.
1. Open the star nuts (Item 11).
2. Press the lower push bar apart and swing it
open (Fig.9a).
3. Move the mower into the vertical cleaning po-
sition (Fig.9b).
4. Clean the bottom side of the mower with the
cleaning scraper (Fig.1/Item 2).
Warning!
Sharp blades! Wear gloves during the cleaning
work.
It is easiest to remove dirt and grass immediately
after mowing. Dried grass remnants and dirt may
impair the mowing operation. Check if the grass
ejector chute is free of grass remnants and remo-
ve any if necessary. Never clean the mower using
a high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain
