operational. Regular maintenance is essential for the user's safety, maintaining the operating
condition and performance of the mower.
Never store a device with petrol in the tank in a building where the fumes could come into contact
with open fire, sparks or high temperatures.
Allow the engine to cool down before storing it in an enclosed space.
To reduce the risk of fire, ensure that the lawnmower, especially the engine, the muffler and where
the replacement fuel is stored, are free from grass, leaves or excessive amounts of lubricants.
Regularly check the condition of the collector cover and the grass collector and replace them if
damaged.
Drain the fuel in a well-ventilated area when the engine has cooled down.
Use thick work gloves when removing and installing the cutting blade.
ATTENTION:
Before doing maintenance or repair work, switch off the engine and remove the spark plug.
Check the mower regularly and ensure that all grass deposits on the underside of the chassis are
removed.
Lubricate the axle of the chassis and the bearings regularly with a suitable lubricant.
Regularly check the condition of the blades, as they have a significant impact on the performance of
the lawnmower. The blades should always be sharp and balanced.
Check at regular intervals that all bolts and nuts are tight. Worn or incorrectly tightened bolts and
nuts can cause severe damage to the engine or frame.
If the blade hits an obstacle hard, stop the lawnmower and contact FUXTEC Customer Service.
The cutting blade is made of pressed steel. For optimum mowing results, sharpen the blade regularly,
approximately every 25 operating hours. Check that the blade is always properly balanced. To do
this, insert a steel axle (with a diameter of 2-3 mm) into the centre hole. If the axle is aligned
correctly, it will stay in the horizontal position.
If the knife does not stay in the horizontal position, replace it.
When removing the knife, unscrew the bolt and check the knife holder. If the parts are worn or
damaged, replace them.
ATTENTION:
Always use original spare parts. Low-quality spare parts can seriously damage the lawnmower and
pose a safety risk.
Changing the cutting blade
Tilt the mower to the right, so the air filter side faces up. That prevents fuel from leaking out and the
mower from starting with difficulty.
Inspect the blade for damage, cracks and excessive rust or corrosion.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is excessively worn, bent, cracked or otherwise
damaged must be replaced.
Always use a torque spanner when installing the blade.
Check that the blade screws are tight.
