Service & Maintenance; Storage And Transportation - Defort DLM-1310N Mode D'emploi

is equipped with a reservoir for the collection of mowed
grass, the so-called bag, relieving of the necessity to
rake. NB: mowing of humid plants results in a signifi -
cant decrease in effi ciency of grass collection in the
GB
bag.
ATTENTION!
• Do not mow wet grass with the lawnmower!
• Select the desired height of mowing before start-
ing up the appliance. All wheels shall be set on the
same level. Wheel axles shall be screwed on prop-
erly. A loose wheel may fall under a rotating knife.
• Running over the electric cord on the ground with
the operating lawnmower is prohibited. To prevent
running over the cord, we recommend hanging it on
the shoulder of the lawnmower's operator.
• Push the lawnmower carefully or drag it before your-
self whenever operating the appliance.
• Start the motor up after the connection of the exten-
sion cord only.
• Overfi lling of glass reservoir is not recommended.
• Do not mow if the grass bag has not been arranged
and the rear cover is lifted, which may RESULT
IN INJURY!
Observe all the above-mentioned requirements care-
fully. Start mowing from the place closest to the power
source (fi g. 3).
5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Unplug the electric cable (power
source) prior to any maintenance or prepara-
tory storage operations.
Cleaning
Grass or soil residues shall be removed with a brush
and wooden trowel. Clean the housing regularly with
a soft cloth, preferably every time it is used. Remove
stubborn dirt with a soft rag moistened in soapy water.
Do not use any solvents such as petrol, alcohol, am-
monia, etc. as such substances can damage the plastic
parts.
ATTENTION! Washing of the lawnmower un-
der a sheet of water is prohibited - the water-
tightness of the body secures the IP 34 class
only (is not entirely water-tight)!
Maintenance
Inspect the wear-out of main units periodically. Deterio-
ration in mowing quality, detected after a certain period
of time, may signify that the blade of the lawnmower
has got blunt.
The following regulations shall be observed for the
sharpening of blade:
• the blade shall be cooled constantly during sharpen-
ing to prevent inadmissible overheating
• the blade shall be sharpened evenly on all sides to
prevent vibration of the blade during operation
• if you note any cracks or slits, the blade shall be re-
placed with a new one (as well as in the case where
the area of the blade decreases by over 5 millim-
eters during sharpening)

Lubrication
The appliance does not need any extra lubrication.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

Keep the lawnmower in well-ventilated dry premises
with temperature not going below +5ºC.
We recommend unscrewing of wheels during transpor-
tation, which will prevent the lawnmower from moving
freely. When transporting the lawnmower on longer
distances or when forwarding thereof, dismantling and
placing of lawnmower into the manufacturer's packing
(box) is advised.
