(see address on the warranty certificate).
8. If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an
extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not
a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the machine.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare parts
Important:
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the
ignition unit with the engine running. Always pull the
spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting
any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any
work on the machine while it is running. Any work not
described in these Operating Instructions must be
performed by an authorized service workshop only.
7.1 Cleaning
After each use, the mower should be thoroughly
cleaned (especially the underside and blade
receptacle).
Note: Before you tilt the lawnmower onto its side,
empty the fuel tank completely with a petrol pump.
The lawnmower must not be tilted more than 90
degrees. The simplest time to remove dirt and grass
is directly after mowing. Dried residual grass and dirt
could cause damage to the mowing operation. Make
sure the grass ejector canal is free from residual
pieces of grass and remove these if necessary. Never
clean the mower with a direct jet of water or a high
pressure cleaner. The motor must stay dry.
Aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaning
solvent or petroleum ether must not be used.
7.2 Maintenance
7.2.1 Wheel axles and wheel hubs
These should be lightly greased once a season. To
do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and
slacken the fastening screws on the wheels.
7.2.2 Blade
For safety reasons you should only ever have your
blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an
authorized service workshop. For optimum results it
is recommended that the blade should be inspected
once a year.

Changing the blade (Fig. 9)
Only ever use original spare parts when having the
blade replaced. The marking on the blade must be
matched with the number given in the list of spare
parts. Never have any other model of blade fitted.
Damaged blades
Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come
into contact with an obstruction, shut down the
engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip
the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for
damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced.
Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight
again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily
worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead
to further damage to the lawn mower.
Important: There is a risk of injury if you work with a
damaged blade.
Resharpening the blade
The blades can be resharpened with a metal file. In
order to avoid imbalance, the blade should be
resharpened by an authorized service workshop.
7.2.3 Checking the oil level
Important: Never run the engine with no or too little
oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine.
Use only 10W30 engine oil.
Checking the oil level:
Before refilling the oil or checking the oil
Position the motor horizontally
Remove any foreign bodies from the oil filling
area.
Pull out the dipstick (Fig. 1/ Item 11) and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Re-insert the dipstick and screw it tightly.
Remove the dipstick again and check the oil
level. The oil level should be at the Full (H) mark
on the dipstick (Fig. 10b).
If the oil level is low, slowly pour oil into the oil
filler neck. Do not overfill. Wait one minute after
filling up the oil and then re-check the oil level.
Re-insert the dipstick and screw it tightly.
Changing the oil
The engine oil should be changed once a year
before the start of the season when the
operational motor is warm.
Pull off the spark plug boot (23) with a twisting
motion.
Place a flat oil drip tray beneath the mower.
Open the dipstick (Fig. 1a/Item 11).
Open the oil drainage screw (Fig. 10a/Item 12).
Drain the warm engine oil into a drip tray.
