Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter
element. To avoid objects falling into the air intake,
replace the air filter cover. (Fig. 20).
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or in-
flammable cleaning agents. Clean the air filter with
compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.
Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 21)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours
of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper
wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after
every 50 hours of operation.
Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the
spark plug (10) with a spark plug wrench.
Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030").
Refit the spark plug taking care not to overtighten.

10. Storage

• Never store the mower (with petrol in the tank) in-
side a building in which petrol fumes could come
into contact with open flames or sparks.
• Allow the motor to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
• In order to avoid fire hazards, keep the engine, ex-
haust and the area around the fuel tank free from
grass, leaves and leaking grease (oil).
Preparing the mower for long-term storage
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed
areas, near fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
• Start the engine and let it run until any remaining
petrol has been used up.
• Change the oil at the end of every season. To do
so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine
and refill with fresh oil.
• Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head. Fill
the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an oil can.
Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will bathe
the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark plug back
in.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the hous-
ing.
• Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the
paint.
• Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
Preparing the mower for transportation (Fig. 22)
• Empty the petrol tank.
• Always let the engine run until it has used up the
remainder of petrol in the tank.
• Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.
• Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the hous-
ing.
• Remove the start tension cable (17) from the hook.
Loosen the quick-release lever (5) and fold the up-
per push bar down. Make sure the cables are not
bent during this process.
• Wedge a few layers of corrugated cardboard be-
tween the upper and lower push bars and the en-
gine in order to prevent any chafing.
11. Disposal and recycling
Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against damage
during transport. Packing materials are usually cho-
sen depending on their environmental friendliness
and disposal method and can therefore be recycled.
Returning the package to material circulation saves
raw materials and reduces waste disposal costs.
Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dan-
gerous to children. Risk of suffocation! Keep parts of
packages away from children and dispose them as
soon as possible.
