Maintenance and repairs
Before beginning cleaning, adjustment, repair and
maintenance operations, park the machine on firm,
level ground, engage the parking brake, stop the en-
gine, allow it to cool down and remove the ignition
key.
Allow the machine to cool down before working on or
around the engine, exhaust manifold or muffler; this
also applies in particular to all maintenance opera-
tions on the mowing deck. Temperatures of 80 °C and
above can be reached.
Danger of burns!
Direct contact with engine oil can be dangerous. En-
gine oil must not be spilled.
Cleaning:
Following operation, the entire ride-on mower and the
attachments must be cleaned. In particular, all grass
residues must be removed because the moisture
these contain leads to damage in the long term.
SCHEPPACH does not recommend the use of high
pressure cleaners.
Clean the device with water as follows.
• Place the hose connection piece onto the water
connection (4) of the mower and open the tap.
• 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).
Note: Dirt and grass is easiest to remove immedi-
ately after you have finished mowing the grass. Dried
on grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing per-
formance. Check that the grass chute is free of any
residual grass. Remove any such residue.
Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high-
pressure cleaner. The engine must remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold
cleaner or petroleum ether.
Never drive close to an edge or a ditch for the purpose
of cleaning (e.g. the frame of) the ride-on mower.
In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the engine,
cooling ribs, battery compartment, area around the
fuel tank and exhaust free from grass, leaves or es-
caping oil (or grease).
Always clean the grass catcher box.

Maintenance operations:
Only maintenance operations described in this in-
struction manual may be carried out. Have all other
work performed by a specialist dealer. If you do not
have the necessary expertise or auxiliary equipment,
please always contact a specialist dealer.
We recommend: Have maintenance work and repairs
completed by specialist dealers only.
Only use tools, accessories or attachments approved
for this machine by SCHEPPACH or technically iden-
tical parts. Otherwise, there may be a risk of acci-
dents resulting in personal injury or damage to the
machine. If you have any questions, please consult a
specialist dealer.
The characteristics of original SCHEPPACH tools,
accessories and spare parts are optimally adapted to
the machine and the user's requirements.
The ride-on mower and all attachments should be in-
spected once annually by a specialist dealer.
Always keep warning and information stickers clean
and readable. Damaged or missing stickers must be
replaced by new, original plates. If a component is
replaced with a new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same stickers.
For safety reasons, fuel-carrying components (fuel
line, fuel cock, fuel tank, tank cap, connections, etc.)
must be checked regularly for damage and leaks and
replaced by a technician if necessary.
Before starting work on or near electrical compo-
nents, the negative (–) cable must be disconnected
from the battery.
The machine is equipped with numerous safety de-
vices. These devices must not be removed or modi-
fied (bypassed, etc.) and must be checked at regular
intervals. Operations on the safety devices must only
be carried out by a technician.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws, especially the
blade fastening screw, are securely tightened, so that
the machine is in a safe operating condition.
For safety reasons, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
Check the grass catcher unit (e.g. grass catcher box,
discharge chute) regularly for wear, damage or loss
of functionality.
Particular care is required when working under the
machine, due to the weight of the ride-on mower. If
necessary, contact a specialist dealer.
