Maintenance, Care And Storage - Brill 40 B Mode D'emploi

When the security flap is released,
it falls back automatically to the
closed position and blocks the
grass cuttings ejection aperture.
Should grass cuttings residue be-
come trapped in the grass cuttings
ejection aperture, then it is recom-
mended for an easier start-up of
the motor to pull back the machine
by about 1 metre, so that the grass
cuttings can fall to the ground.
Caution ! Grass cuttings
A
residue in the mower
housing should not be removed
by hand or with the feet but with
suitable accessories, such as a
brush or hand broom.
The grass collection hopper is
equipped with a flap. The removed

6. Maintenance, care and storage

6.1. Maintenance
Maintenance includes tasks which
will keep the machine in perfect
operational order. Accidents and
operational interruptions can be
avoided by making regular checks
(for the firm seating of all screwed
connections, cracks and damage)
and by the replacement of dam-
aged or worn parts.
For safety reason, repairs should
only be carried out by an autho-
rised service station.
A list of service stations is enclosed
with the machine.
Caution ! The sparking plug
A
connector should always
be detached before working and
carrying out verifications and
maintenance on the machine.
Injury hazard !
Because of danger of injury and
damage to persons and property :
The machine should not be cleaned
under running water and in par-
ticular not under high pressure
water jets.
grass collection hopper should be
held with one hand by means of
the carrier handle and the locking
lever should be opened with the
other (Fig. 10, Pos. 1).
Note :
To ensure a good filling result, the
grass collection hopper and espe-
cially the air grill should be cleaned
after use.
Hanging the grass collection
hopper into its position
Caution ! The grass collec-
A
tion hopper should only
be hung into its position with the
motor stopped and the cutters
at a standstill.
The machine should be stored
in a dry and frost-proof location,
which should not be accessible
to children.
The machine should not be tipped
over on the sparking plug and/or
carburettor side respectively.
6.2. Changing the cutters
Figure 11
Only use original recommended
replacement cutter parts, otherwise
correct functioning and safety can,
under certain circumstances no
longer be warranted.
Never use spare parts and acces-
sories which are not intended by
the manufacturer.
Notice :
The cutters are fitted with two
blade faces. When one face is
blunt, the cutter can be turned.
Cutters with chipped cutting faces
should be changed immediately
(unbalanced running).
The cutters should not be re-
sharpened (unbalanced running).
The security flap on the machine
should be raised with one hand.
The grass collection hopper should
be held with the other hand by
means of the carrier handle and
hung into the locking device.
Note :
The grass collection hopper is
correctly seated when the security
flap lies snugly on the grass col-
lection hopper.
Mowing without the grass collection
hopper and the mulch box
The security flap is fitted in such
a manner that it is also possible to
mow without the grass collection
hopper and the mulch box mount-
ed. The grass cuttings will then
be laid down below the security
flap on the lawn.
The cutters should be turned or
replaced always in pairs.
When the cutters are replaced,
the new screws provided with
the replacement cutters should
always be employed.
1. The sparking plug connector
should be detached.
2. Both attachment nuts should be
slackened by holding the screw-
head against the turn (Fig. 11).
3. The cutters should be turned
or a new cutter set replaced
and firmly screwed (to a 25 Nm
torque).
When reassembling, the toothed
washers should be below the nuts
and the nuts screwed up proud
to the cutter beam (Fig. 11).
6.3. Changing the cutter bar
Damaged cutter bars should be
replaced because of the unbal-
anced running connected with that.
For reasons of safety, this work
should be carried out by a service
station or specialist dealer autho-
rised by the manufacturer.
