After Mowing; Cleaning; Transport; Storage - Scheppach MS150-42E SE Original Bedienungsanleitung

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 han-
dle 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 storing
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 explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the manu-
facturer 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

m Warning!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.
The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after each
use. In particular, the underside and the blade retainer.
m Attention!
For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable be-
fore cleaning.
It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark plug
should point upwards to prevent engine oil from entering
the intake tract or leaking out.
Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you
must make sure that the air filter is on the upper side.
Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank
fully with a fuel scavenge pump.
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.
It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately
after mowing. Grass residues and dirt that have dried on
can impair mowing. Check that the grass ejection chan-
nel is clear of grass residues and remove these if nec-
essary. Never clean the mower with a water jet or high
pressure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold
cleaners or white spirit.

11. Transport

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 housing.
• 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 engine
in order to prevent any chafing.
• In order to prevent damage and injury, secure the
tool against tipping over and sliding when transport-
ing it in vehicles.

12. Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The op-
timum storage temperature lies between 5 and 30 ˚C.
Store the device in its original packaging.
Cover the device to protect it from dust or moisture.
Store the operating manual with the device.
• Never store the machine with petrol in the tank in-
side a building in which fuel vapours may come into
contact with naked flames or sparks
• Allow the engine to cool before before storing it.
• In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine,
exhaust, battery box and the area surrounding the
fuel tank free of grass, straw, moss, leaves or es-
caping grease.
Preparing the mower for long-term storage
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed are-
as, 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. 20ml of oil from an oil can.
