Checking the oil level:
Stand the lawn mower on a flat level surface.
Unscrew the oil dip stick (Abb. 10a/ Pos. 11) by
turning anticlockwise, pull out and wipe. Insert the
dip stick back in the filling mount as far as the stop,
but do not screw back in. Pull out the dip stick again
and read off the oil level while holding horizontally.
The oil level must be between the maximum
(Fig.
10b/Item H)
and the minimum (Fig. 10b/Item L). The
moveable orange plastic part on the oil dip stick
provides protection against oil foam.
Changing the oil
Change the engine oil every year before the start of
the season (in addition to the information in the
petrol service manual) when the engine is warm.
앬 Use only engine oil (10W30).
앬 Place a flat oil drip tray beneath the mower.
앬 Open the oil filler screw (Fig. 10a/Item 11).
앬 Open the oil drainage screw (Fig. 10a/Item 12).
Drain the warm engine oil into a drip tray.
앬 Close the drain screw again when all the used oil
has been drained.
앬 Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on
the dipstick (approx. 0.6 l).
앬 Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to
check the oil level – only insert it as far as the
thread.
앬 Dispose of the used oil in accordance with
applicable regulations.
7.2.4 Care and adjustment of the cables
Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.
7.2.5 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 11a-11c)
A soiled air filter will reduce the performance of the
engine because it will prevent enough air getting to
the carburetor. It is therefore imperative that regular
checks are made. The air filter should be checked
every 25 hours and cleaned if required. If the air is
very dusty the air filter should be checked more
regularly.
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or
inflammable cleaning agents. Clean the air filter with
compressed air or simply by knocking out any
soiling.
7.2.6 Maintenance of the spark plug
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10
hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a
copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark
plug after every 50 hours of operation.
앬 Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 12/Item 23) with
a twist.
앬 Remove the spark plug with the supplied spark
plug wrench.
앬 Assemble in reverse order.
7.2.7 Repairs
After any repair or maintenance work, check that all
safety-related parts are in place and in proper
working order.
All parts which may cause injury must be kept where
they are inaccessible to children or others.
Important: In accordance with product liability
legislation we are not liable for any damages caused
by improper repairs or the use of spare parts that are
not original spare parts or parts approved by us. In
addition, we are also not liable for any damages
arising from improper repairs. Such work should be
performed by a customer services workshop or
authorized specialist. The same applies to accessory
parts.
7.2.8 Times of use
Please comply with statutory regulations, which may
vary from location to location.
7.3 Preparing the mower for long-term storage
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed
areas, near fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
1. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining
petrol has been used up.
3. Change the oil at the end of every season. To do
so, remove the used engine oil from a warm
engine and refill with fresh oil.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
Fill the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an
oil can. Slowly pull back the starter handle, which
will bathe the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the
spark plug back in.
5. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the
housing.
6. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect
the paint.
7. Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
