Maintenance and care

Danger - risk of injury!
A
Always unplug from the mains before commenc-
ing any maintenance or preventive maintenance
work!
Always wear protective gloves when carrying out
maintenance or preventive maintenance work on
the blade!
Unbalanced blades cause strong vibrations and
damage the mower.
■ Regularly check the grass collection system for cor-
rect operation and wear.
■ After mowing, clean the machine thoroughly with a
brush or cloth. Dirt not removed from the underside
of the machine may have a detrimental effect on its
performance.
■ Do not spray the machine with water! The switch/
connector combination and the electric motor may
be destroyed if water gets into them.
■ Regularly check the blade for damage. Only have
blunt or damaged blades sharpened or replaced at
an AL-KO Service Centre or authorized specialist
workshop. Resharpened blades must be balanced.
Tightening torque of the blade screw 15 Nm +5
