Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage, Transport And Ordering Of Spare Parts - EINHELL GC-PM 46 Originalbetriebsanleitung

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.

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
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.
Tilt the lawn mower to the rear by pressing down
the push bar.
Note: Before tilting the lawn mower, 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. It is easiest to remove dirt and
grass immediately after mowing. Dried grass
remnants and dirt may impair the mowing ope-
ration. Check whether the grass ejector chute is

free of grass residues and clear out as required.
Never clean the lawn mower using a water jet or a
high-pressure cleaner. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners
or petroleum ether.
7.2 Maintenance
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Note: Dispose of soiled maintenance material
and operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
7.2.1 Petrol engine
Note! Never run the engine with no or too little oil.
This can cause serious damage to the engine.
Checking the oil level
Place the lawn mower so that it stands level. Un-
screw the oil dipstick (Fig. 9a/Item 7a) by turning
it counter-clockwise and wipe the dipstick. Re-
insert the dipstick into the fi ller opening as far as it
will go but do not screw it in. Pull out the dipstick,
hold it horizontally and read off the oil level. The
oil level must be between the two marks min. and
max. on the oil dipstick (Fig. 9b).
Changing the oil
The engine oil is best changed when the engine
has been switched off but is still warm.
1. Make sure that the debris bag has been re-
moved.
2. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction
pump and run the engine until the remaining
fuel is fully consumed.
3. Place an oil drip tray alongside the mower.
4. Open the oil fi ller plug (Item 7) and tilt the mo-
wer 90° sideways.
5. The hot oil will fl ow through the open oil fi ller
opening into the oil drip tray.
6. After the old oil has drained out, set the mo-
wer upright again.
7. Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
dip stick.
8. Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to
check the oil level – only insert it as far as the
thread.
9. Dispose of the used oil in accordance with
applicable regulations.
