cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
7.2 Maintenance
•
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
water, particularly with high-pressure water.
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e.
screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened
so that the equipment can be safely operated
at all times.
•
Frequently check the grass catch assembly
for signs of wear.
•
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
•
Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
•
In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip-
ment for many years to come, all screwed
parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should
be cleaned and lubricated.
•
Keeping your lawn mower in good condition
not only ensures a long lifespan and high per-
formance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
brush or rag. Do not use any solvents or water
to remove dirt.
•
The blades on the mower spindle are subject
to more wear and tear than any other com-
ponent of the unit. Check the condition of the
blades on the mower spindle at regular inter-
vals and make sure that the mower spindle is
tightly fastened.
•
If, despite good care, the blades on the mo-
wer spindle have become blunt after a good
number of years and need replacing, please
contact our customer service.
•
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
7.3 Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 14)
Warning! Wear safety gloves.
Note:
The counter blade (L) is pre-set at the factory. Re-
adjustment might be required after prolonged use.
Only adjust it if:
•
The cutting results appear rough and uneven
and some blades of grass are not cut (the di-
stance between the counter blade and mower
spindle is too large)
•
The equipment is heavy or even impossible to
push

•
The mower spindle makes loud noises or
does not rotate because it rubs or catches
against the counter blade
Adjusting:
•
Turn the socket head screw (M) clockwise =
this reduces the distance between the coun-
ter blade and mower spindle
•
Turn the socket head screw (M) counterclock-
wise = this increases the distance between
the counter blade and mower spindle
1. Slacken both socket head screws (M) by tur-
ning them counterclockwise.
2. Turn one wheel forwards, which makes the
mower spindle turn. At the same time, tigh-
ten one of the two socket head screws (M)
enough so that the mower spindle touches
the counter blade without making hardly a
sound.
3. Turn the socket head screw (M) back again
so that the mower spindle can only just rotate
freely.
4. Repeat points 2 and 3 with the second socket
head screw (M).

Important!

The socket head screws (M) on both sides of the
mower must be adjusted evenly such that the
mower spindle (14) can only just rotate freely.
The counter blade (L) is correctly adjusted if a
piece of paper placed between the blades on the
mower spindle (14) and the counter blade will be
cut along its full length when you turn one of the
wheels forwards by hand without force.
At the end of the season, perform a general ins-
pection of the lawn mower and remove any grass
and dirt which may have accumulated. At the start
of each season, ensure that you check the condi-
tion of the blade. If repairs are necessary, please
contact our customer service center. Use only
genuine spare parts.
