7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Danger!
Never work on or touch any current-conducting
parts of the ignition system while the engine is
running. Pull the spark plug boot from the spark
boot before doing any maintenance or assembly
work. Never carry out any work on the equipment
while the engine is running. Work that is not de-
scribed in these operating instructions, should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
7.1.1 Cleaning in the vertical cleaning posi-
tion
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies in
particular to its underside and the blade mount.
Note: Before tilting the lawn mower into the ver-
tical cleaning position, use a petrol extraction
pump to drain all the fuel out of the fuel tank. Do
not tilt the lawn mower by more than 90 degrees.
Vertical cleaning position (Fig. 13a/13b)
Important! Before moving the mower into the ver-
tical cleaning position, switch off the engine and
pull out the spark plug connector. Caution! Place
the mower only on a fi rm, level surface.
1. Open the star nuts (Item 12c).
2. Press the lower push bar apart and swing it
open (Fig.13a).
3. Move the mower into the vertical cleaning po-
sition (Fig.13b).
4. Clean the bottom side of the mower with the
cleaning scraper (Fig.2/Item 14).
Warning!
Sharp blades! Wear gloves during the cleaning
work.
It is easiest to remove dirt and grass immediately
after mowing. Dried grass remnants and dirt may
impair the mowing operation. Check if the grass
ejector chute is free of grass remnants and remo-
ve any if necessary. Never clean the mower using
a high-pressure cleaner. The engine must remain
dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such
as cold cleaners or petroleum ether.
Warning!
•
Leave the mower in the vertical cleaning po-
sition only for as long as necessary because

in this position there is a considerable risk of
injury.
•
Never leave the mower unsupervised.
•
Keep children away.
7.1.2 Automatic cleaning of the mowing deck
by means of the hos connection (Fig. 17/
Item 19)
The mowing deck is fi tted with a hose connection
(Item 19) (suitable for conventional garden hose
couplings). The lawn mower should be cleaned
thoroughly every time after it has been used.
Warning!
Switch off the engine before you do any work on
the mower. Risk of injury from rotating blades.
Keep the ejector fl ap (Item 5a) closed when you
carry out the cleaning. Risk of injury from catapul-
ted parts.
1. Place the mower on a fi rm, level surface. The
mower must stand on 4 wheels as in mowing
mode. Take off the catch basket (Item 4a) and
make sure that the mulching adapter (Item
4b) has been removed.
2. Connect the water hose to the hose connec-
tion (19).
3. Turn on the tap. Water will fl ow into the inside
of the mowing deck.
4. Start the engine. See section 6.1.
5. Automatic cleaning will begin. The rotating
blades will cast the water against the mowing
deck and therefore clean it from the inside.
A cleaning period of 1-2 minutes is enough
when carried out regularly.
To remove dried grass residues we recommend
carrying out several cleaning cycles. Wait a few
minutes between the cleaning cycles so that the
dried grass can soak and soften up.
Important!
Never clean the mower using a high-pressure
cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners
or petroleum ether.
7.2 Maintenance
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Note: Dispose of soiled maintenance material
and operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
