5.1 Introduction - maintenance

WARNING: The product must be
switched off before any maintenance is
done. The product is disabled when
the indicator lamp on the keypad is not

to
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the
amount of wear during this period has been low,
the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
The edges of the blades should not be damaged.
The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and
depends for instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones,
windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the
like.
The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
blades on page 36 on how to replace the
blades.
Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and
more energy is needed resulting in the product
not mowing such a large area.

5.2 Clean the product

CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Never
use solvents for cleaning.
