Cleaning - Scheppach MS150-46E Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and
steep grades.
• Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of arti-
ficial light is one reason not to mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they
have struck a foreign object or if the machine vi-
brates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the
engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly
next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always
keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have
trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other
way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is
standing behind you (especially little children, who
are more difficult to see).
• When mowing over thick, high grass, select the
highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.
Before you remove any grass or blockages of any
kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is
running.
Emptying the grass basket
The debris bag (16) is equipped with a filling level in-
dicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened by the air current
produced by the mower. If the flap falls during mow-
ing, the debris bag (16) is full and should be emptied.
To ensure that the filling level indicator works prop-
erly, the holes under the flap must be kept clean and
permeable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mow-
er, it is time to empty the grass basket.
m WARNING
Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the
engine and wait until the blade has come to a
stop.
To take off the grass basket (16), use one hand to
lift up the chute flap (15) and the other to grab onto
the basket handle (Fig. 16). Remove the basket. For
safety reasons, the chute flap (15) 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 approx.
1 meter. Do not use your hands or feet to remove clip-
pings in or on the mower housing, but instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket (16)
and especially the air grill must be cleaned after each
use.

Reattach the grass basket (16) only when the engine
is switched off and the blade is stopped. Using one
hand, lift up the chute flap (15), while grabbing onto
the basket handle with the other. Hang in the basket
from the top. Fig. 9
After mowing
• Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before stor-
ing the mower. Do not place any objects on top of
the mower.
• Check all the screws and nuts once more before
you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any
loose screws.
• Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).
• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized
use.
• Ensure that you do not park the mower next to any
source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to explo-
sions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the man-
ufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on
the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an ex-
tended period, empty the petrol tank using a petrol
suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.

10. Cleaning

Warning!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.
Cleaning
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after
every use, especially the underneath and the blade
mount. To remove the gras, tip the lawn mower onto
its left side (the opposite side to the oil filling socket)
or clean the mower with water as descript below:
• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
• Fit the hose connection to the mower (w) and turn
the tap on. (Fig. 24)
• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30
seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water
onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp
objects).
m Note! Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side,
completely empty the fuel tank using a petrol suction
pump. The lawn mower must never be tilted by more
than 90 degrees.
Dirt and grass is easiest to remove immediately after
you have finished mowing the grass. Dried on grass
and dirt can result in poorer mowing performance.
