Servicing the front wheels
Oil the bearings of the wheels once a year or every 20 operating hours.
– Loosen the hexagon head nuts using a socket wrench and remove the wheels.
– After oiling the bearings, push the wheels on and tighten them again so that they still turn easily but without any play.
Servicing the rear wheel drive (Illustration R )
– Remove the drive wheels from the wheel axle after loosening of the nut.
– Remove dirt and any grease from the wheel cover, from the free wheel pinion on the gear shaft and the drive pinion on
the inside of the wheel.
NOTE
Do not remove the free wheel pinion from the gear shaft!
– Grease the pinion pair (free wheel pinion and drive pinion in the wheel) with the roller bearing grease "KAJO LZR 2
lubricating grease", so that the toothed intermediate spaces are completely filled.
– When pushing on the drive wheel make sure that the pinions engage; it may be necessary to turn the wheel on the axle
slightly.
Servicing the drive
– It is absolutely essential that the Bowden cable runs easily for switching on and off, so that the control drive works
perfectly.
– The Bowden traction mechanism has been set ready for operation at the works and requires no adjustment.
Changing the drive V-belt
The drive V-belt must be replaced by a specialist workshop.
Recharging the starter battery (only for electro-start)
IMPORTANT
Use the charger supplied only for charging the respective mower battery. Equally, do not try to charge your mower
using a different charger. You could endanger yourself or damage your equipment.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the charger, it may only be used indoors and in dry rooms and the
battery must not be charged in direct sunlight.
The battery can be charged in the assembled or disassembled state.
– Disconnect battery cable from cable harness.
– Removing the battery
To remove the battery, unscrew the (TORX T30) screw, take off the cover and take out the battery.
– Connect the battery cable to the original charging device and plug the charging device into a 230 V socket.
– After charging the battery, refasten to the battery holder (if the battery was dismounted for charging). Reconnect the
battery cable to the cable harness prior to mowing.

17 SERVICING THE ENGINE
WARNING
Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even with doors and windows open.
Move the machine to an outside area before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
When carrying out cleaning and maintenance work place the motor and/or mower on its left side (in the direction of
travel), but preferably tip it forwards O (spark plug pointing upwards), as otherwise you may have difficulties
starting it up again. When tilting the mower forwards, ensure that the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the
mower in the raised position!
ATTENTION
When tilting or placing the mower on its side, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the machine. Fire hazard!
The regular implementation of the prescribed maintenance and care work are the prerequisite for a permanent and fault-free
functionality of the motor and also the basic requirement for any guarantee claims.
The motor should be kept clean, particularly on the outside, and the silencer and cylinder area must always be kept free from
foreign bodies (e.g. grass residue). The exhaust and motor reach very high temperatures when in use. Flammable foreign
