Maintenance And Care - Scheppach 5911412917 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Regularly check that the blade is properly fastened, in
good condition and sharpened. Sharpen or replace it
if this is not the case. If the moving blade strikes an
object, stop the mower and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the
blade and the blade holder. If it is damaged, it must
be replaced.
Emptying the catch basket
The catch basket (12) has a level indicator (Fig. 8). This
is opened by the air flow generated by the mower dur-
ing operation. If the flap (Fig. 8) closes during mowing,
the catch basket (12) is full and should be emptied. The
holes under the flap must always be clean and passa-
ble for the level indicator to function properly. As soon
as grass residues are left lying behind on the ground
during mowing, the catch basket must be emptied.
m WARNING
Before removing the catch basket, stop the engine
and wait for the cutting tool to come to a standstill.
To remove the catch basket (12), lift the discharge flap
(11) with one hand and remove the catch basket (12)
by the carrying handle (d) the other hand (Fig. 9). In
accordance with the safety regulations, the discharge
flap (11) closes when the catch basket is unhooked and
closes the rear ejection opening.
If grass remains in the opening, it is advisable to pull
the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to start
the engine. Do not remove cuttings in the mower hous-
ing and on the working tool by hand or with your feet,
but with suitable aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.
To ensure good collection, the catch basket (12) and in
particular the air grille must be cleaned from the inside
after use.
Only hook in the catch basket (12) when the engine is
switched off and the cutting tool is stationary.
Lift the discharge flap (11) with one hand and hold the
catch basket (12) by the handle with the other hand and
hook it in from above. (Fig. 9)
After mowing
• Check all screws and nuts before the next use.
Tighten all loose screws.
• Empty the catch basket (12) before the next use.
• Make sure that the mower is not parked next to a
source of danger. Escaping gas can cause explo-
sions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the man-
ufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on
guarantee certificate).
• Service the device.
