6.6.7
Mowing high grass
Mow with a higher cutting height adjustment
when the grass is longer than normal or when it
is wet. Then re-mow the grass with a lower, nor-
mal setting.
6.6.8
Cutting blade maintenance
Make sure that the cutting blade remains sharp
for the entire mowing season to avoid shredding
or tearing the blades of grass. Shredded grass
blades turn brown on the edges. This reduces
their growth and leaves the lawn prone to diseas-
es.
■
Check the cutting blade for sharpness and
signs of wear or damage after each use! If
necessary please contact a service work-
shop.
■
If replacement is required, only use original
manufacturer replacement blades.
7 CLEANING THE LAWN TRACTOR
The lawn tractor must be cleaned regularly to en-
sure optimum function and a long service life.
Clean the lawn tractor after each use to remove
adhering dirt and detritus.
Use preferably compressed air and a brush for
cleaning. The water jet from a high-pressure
cleaner or a garden hose can damage the electri-
cal system or bearings.
In particular, ensure that the engine, transmission
and deflection pulleys, as well as the entire elec-
trical system do not come into contact with water.
WARNING! Dangers when cleaning!
During all cleaning work:
■
Switch off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
■
Remove the spark plug connector.
■
Protective devices removed for cleaning must
be reinstalled afterwards.
■
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not clean the lawn
tractor until it has cooled down. The engine,
transmission and silencer get very hot!
■
DANGER OF LACERATIONS: When working
on the cutters, pay attention to the sharp
blades. In mowers with more than one blade,
moving one cutter can cause the other to
move as well!

7.1
Cleaning the deck, engine and
transmission
IMPORTANT! Damage to the electrical sys-
tem by penetrating water! Use preferably com-
pressed air and a brush for cleaning.
Do not use water or a high-pressure cleaner to
spray down the engine or any of the bearing
points (wheels, transmission, blade bearing).
Water penetrating the ignition system, carburettor
and air filter can cause malfunctions. Water in the
bearing points can lead to loss of lubrication, and
thus cause irreparable damage to the bearings.
Use a cloth, hand brush, long-handled paintbrush
or similar for removing dirt and grass residues.
8 MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Dangers during maintenance!
During all maintenance work:
■
Switch off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
■
Remove the spark plug connector.
■
Protective devices removed for maintenance
must be reinstalled afterwards.
■
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not work on the
lawn tractor until it has cooled down. The en-
gine, transmission and silencer get very hot!
■
DANGER OF LACERATIONS: When working
on the cutters, pay attention to the sharp
blades. In case of mowers with multiple
blades, moving one cutter can cause another
one to move as well.
