Storage and maintenance
Maintain your lawnmower: Check all bolts, screws,
nuts and deck. Dismount the blade and the belt plastic
cover for regular cleaning. Always make sure that the
blade is sharp. It's a good idea to take your lawn mower
to an annual service check with your authorized service
dealer. See your nearest service center at
www.texas.dk.
Storage: After use the lawnmower kept in a dry and
clean room. Clean the machine after every use. Grass
and dirt must be removed from the underside of the
deck. By tipping the mower (for cleaning) is
recommended to tilt the front up (max. 45 degrees). If
you tilt it sideways, the carburetor and air filter always
face upwards, since oil may run out and destroy the
engine. Be aware that removing the spark plug before
the mower maintenance.
Winter storage: Empty the fuel tank and let the engine
run until the gasoline in the carburetor is used up. Spark
plug removed. Remove the spark plug and add a
teaspoon of oil (engine oil) in the hole. Pull the starter to
distribute oil. Mount the spark plug, but not the spark
plug cap. Change oil as described in the section above.
Spray silicone lubrication into the cables and move
them.
Finally, clean the mower thoroughly. Dip a cloth in oil
and luricate metal parts to prevent rust.
Cleaning and lubricating of rachet wheels:

done minimum once per year to ensure longer
