16 CARE AND SERVICING FOR YOUR MOWER
Regular care is the best way to guarantee a long service life and problem-free
operation! Insufficient device maintenance will lead to safety-related faults!
Only use original spare parts because only those guarantee safety
and quality!
Cleaning
Remove all dirt and grass directly after mowing. Place the mower on its side and use
a brush or cloth to clean.
ATTENTION
Do not insert your fingers into the fan housing openings and hold the fan. If the
cutter bar is turned during cleaning, there is a risk that your fingers will be
pinched between the fan and the fan housing!
IMPORTANT
Never spray the mower with water. The electrical system may be damaged.
Safety information!
For explanation of symbols,
see the table on page 2
Storage
Always store the device with the safety key removed and without the battery inserted.
Always store the device in a clean and well-serviced state in a closed, dry room and
inaccessible to children.
Always allow the device to cool down before storage.
Collapsing the guide bar (figure A1 )
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the guide bars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along
the outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical
defect of the device.
–
For space-saving storage or for transport, loosen the four wing nuts
until the guide bar can be collapsed in Z form over the engine without
resistance A1 .
The locking cams at the lower bar end must disengage from the bores in
the housing.
–
Do not kink or squeeze the cable while doing so.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage, the bar may fold over
unintentionally when loosening the wing nuts and disengaging the locking
cams from the bores in the housing. In addition, there may be pinching points
between lower and upper bar section and housing. This may result in risk of
injury!
Transporting and securing the device (figure N + N4 )
–
If the device has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap. Hold it at the front,
on the housing, and at the back, on the handlebar connection N .
Note
the weight of the machine before
(see "Technical data"). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
We recommend that this device should always be lifted or carried by at least two
people if other means of help are not available.
When the device is transported on a load area, a loading ramp should be used
for loading and unloading.
–
Transport the device upright on all 4 wheels to avoid damage to the equipment
and personal injury.
ATTENTION
Avoid injuries! Be especially careful when loading or unloading the equipment.
When a trailer is used, we recommend ensuring that it is equipped with stable
sidewalls.
Only the marked points on the transport vehicle may be used to secure
the device.
–
Park the means of transport on level ground so that the device cannot roll away
before it is secured.
–
Remove the collecting bag and secure it separately during transport.
–
Secure the device with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps with
clamping elements) on or inside the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands
made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is marked with a label. The label
contains important details for application. The information on this label must be
heeded when using the tie-down strap.
–
For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four
lashing straps. For this purpose, the belts are fastened directly on the fastening
points on the device and in the tie-down strapping points on the loading surface
and slightly pre-tensioned N4 .
ATTENTION
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the device too firmly can cause
damage.
Servicing the cutter bar
A sharp cutter guarantees perfect cutting performance. Before using the machine,
always check the condition and firm seating of the blade. The blade fastening screw
must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is tightened
excessively or insufficiently, blade fastening and cutter bar may be damaged or get
loose, which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must imperatively
be replaced.
