Blade Sharpening - Solo 582 Manual De Funcionamiento

the mower should be checked by an authorized work-
shop. Before using a mower, always check the blade is
not damaged and is tight. If required, replace the blade
and have the mower checked. Never operate the
mower with a damaged blade. This will cause vibration
and lead to further damage.

Blade Sharpening

The cutting edge can be re-sharpened with
a metal file. However, it is recommended that
any re-sharpening work is done by a service
center. Experts will ensure the blade is sharp-
ened evenly and balanced properly. Do not
sharpen the blade beyond the stamped mark
on the flade (see picture 14).
Oil level check
Caution: Engine oil influences the perfor-
mance and life expectancy of the engine.
Never run the engine without or without
sufficient oil. This may lead to severe en-
gine damage. Choose the required oil
viscosity according to air temperature and
altitude. Refer to the specific section in the
engine manual.
Checking of oil level:
1. Place the mower on even ground
2. Unscrew oil filler cap (pos. 14) and wipe dipstick.
3. Place dipstick back into filler pipe.
4. Remove dipstick, hold horizontally and read oil
level which has to be between "max." and "min."

Changing oil
The engine may be drained via the oil drain screw
(pos.10) or the oil filler opening. To reach the drain
screw, both blade and fan wheel have to be removed
(picture 14B). Observe the maintenance guidelines in
the separate engine manual.
When draining via the oil filler opening (pos. 14), tilt
the mower -with empty fuel tank and with warm en-
gine- slowly to the side while the filler cap is still tightly
in place. Wait a few minutes. Then remove the filler cap
and collect the old oil in a suitable container.
Dispose of the use oil according to local regulations or
take to a re-cycling place.
After the oil change, wash hands with
soap and water.
Maintenance of Air Filter
A dirty air filter (pos. 10) reduces engine efficiency by
restricting free air flow to the carburetor. Frequent
checking and cleaning, especially in dusty and dirty
conditions, is a necessity.
Caution: Never clean air filter in petrol or
with flammable liquids. This may lead to
fire or explosion. Also refer to the sepa-
rate section in the engine manual.
Important Note:
The time and duration when mowers can
be operated may be subject to local regula-
tions. These may vary from location to
location. Please check with your local
authorities.
Noise is damaging. To avoid gradual hear-
ing loss with continuous prolonged mower
use, we recommend the wearing of ear
protectors.
