Blade Maintenance - Bosch ARM32 Mode D'emploi

Mowing
When mowing DO NOT ALLOW THE MOTOR
TO LABOUR particularly in heavy conditions.
When the motor labours the speed of the mo-
tor drops and you will hear a change in the
motor sound, when this occurs stop mowing,
release switch lever and RAISE THE HEIGHT
OF CUT. Failure to do so could damage the
machine.
Place the machine on the edge of the lawn, as close to
the power point as possible. Work away from the power
point as illustrated G.
Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at the
end of each turn and ensure that the cable restraint 8
has moved from one side of the guide to the other as in
illustration C.
The collection indicator (ARM32) 5, during normal op-
eration will be in the raised position as in illustration
D(A). When the grassbox needs emptying or the chute
area 22 illustration H on the underside of the machine
is blocked and requires clearing, the indicator will drop
as illustration D(B).
Maintenance
Stop, remove plug from the power supply
and remove the grassbox.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the
following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as a loose,
dislodged or damaged blade, loose fixings, and worn
or damaged components. Check that covers and guards
are undamaged and correctly fitted. Carry out neces-
sary maintenance or repairs before using. If the mower
should happen to fail despite the care taken in manu-
facture and testing, repair should be carried out by an
authorised customer service agent for Bosch garden
products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, always
include the 10 digit order number of the machine!

Blade Maintenance

Stop, remove plug from the power supply
and remove the grassbox.
Turn the machine on its right side as illustration H and
inspect the blade and fan; if blunt or damaged, replace.
Use the following procedure to remove and replace the
blade.
Hold the blade 23 using gardening gloves, use a span-
ner (not provided) to remove the blade nut 24 and blade
as in illustration H.
Before fitting the new blade, ensure that the fan 25 is
fitted correctly on the shaft. It will fit in only one posi-
tion.
Fit the blade and the blade nut. Ensure that the blade is
the correct way up (so that this ☺ symbol can be seen)
and tighten the nut firmly.
After Mowing/Storage
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a
soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from
the ventilation slots 7.
Turn the machine on its right side and clean the blade
area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area,
remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage loosen the handle wheels 4 and fold the
handles.
Ensure cables are not trapped when folding/
unfolding top handles, DO NOT DROP THE
HANDLES.
