The lawn mower must not be tilted by more than 90
degrees.
Vertical cleaning position (Fig. 17-19)
Important! Before tilting the lawn mower into the
vertical cleaning position, be sure to switch off the
engine and pull the spark-plug connector.
Important! Set the lawn mower down only on solid,
level ground.
1. Open the quick-release lever (Item 15).
2. Push the bottom push-bar apart and unfold the
push-bar (Fig. 18).
3. Place the lawn mower in the vertical cleaning
position (Fig. 19). The push-bar rests flush on the
ground.
4. Clean the lawn mower's underside using the
cleaning scraper (Fig. 2/Item 18).
Important! Sharp blades! Wear gloves while cleaning
the equipment.
The simplest time to remove dirt and grass is directly
after mowing. Dried residual grass and dirt could
cause damage to the mowing operation. Make sure
the grass ejector canal is free from residual pieces of
grass and remove these if necessary. Never clean the
mower with a direct jet of water or a high pressure
cleaner. The engine must stay dry. Aggressive
cleaning agents such as cold cleaning solvent or
petroleum ether must not be used.
Important!
Only allow the lawn mower to remain in the
vertical cleaning position for the time needed as
this position poses a considerable risk of injury.
Never leave the lawn mower unattended.
Keep children away.
8.2 Maintenance
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance
information and maintenance interval information
on the engine.
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and media at
the appropriate collection point
8.2.1 Wheel axles and wheel hubs
These should be lightly greased once a season. To
do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and
slacken the fastening screws on the wheels.
8.2.2 Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorized service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.
Changing the blade (Fig. 20)
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced. The marking on the blade must be
matched with the number given in the list of spare
parts. Never have any other model of blade fitted.
Damaged blades
Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come
into contact with an obstruction, shut down the
engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip
the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for
damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.
Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight
again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily
worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead
to further damage to the lawn mower.
Important: There is a risk of injury if you work with a
damaged blade.
Resharpening the blade
The blades can be resharpened with a metal file. In
order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be
resharpened by an authorized service workshop.
8.2.3 Care and adjustment of the cables
Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.
8.2.4 Inspecting the V-belt
To inspect the V-belt you must remove the V-belt
cover (Fig. 20/Item D).
8.2.5 Repairs
After any repair or maintenance work, check that all
safety-related parts are in place and in proper
working order.
All parts which may cause injury must be kept where
they are inaccessible to children or others.
Important: In accordance with product liability
legislation we are not liable for any damages caused
by improper repairs or the use of spare parts that are
not original spare parts or parts approved by us. In
addition, we are also not liable for any damages
arising from improper repairs. Such work should be
performed by a customer services workshop or
authorized specialist. The same applies to accessory
parts.
