8) Check the blade’s balance after sharpening.
9) Check the self-closing guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.
10) Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must:
- Wear strong working gloves.
- Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, clear of the blade and taking account of the weight
of the machine and its distribution.
CLEANING
Your lawnmower has been supplied with a hose pipe connector towards the back of the deck. This enables
you to clean your machine, using your garden hose. Clip the hose to the machine using a standard hose
connector. Turn on your tap. Ensure that any trailing hose is away from the machine deck. Start the
machine. The momentum of the blade rotation will force water around the deck to clean it.
Carefully clean the machine after each cut to ensure an easy start-up next time you use the machine. Be
sure to remove grass debris and mud accumulated inside the chassis before it dries.
If you need to tilt the mower while cleaning always tip it backwards towards the handles, do not tip it on
its side as this will cause oil to enter the carburettor or exhaust.
The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off over time due to the abrasive action of the cut
grass; when this occurs you must touch up the paintwork using a rustproof paint as soon as possible to
prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the screws and clean around the transmission and drive
belts with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels should be cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the gear
wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt using a brush or compressed air.
CHANGING BLADES
Empty the oil tank before removing the blade.
To replace the blade, undo the screw.
Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly. Tightening torque 45 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.
STORAGE
The same petrol must not remain in the tank for more than 30 days.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in a dry place.
