Cleaning the grass catcher
Remove and empty the grass catcher.
■
The grass catcher can be cleaned with a powerful
■
water jet, for example from a garden hose.
Allow the grass catcher to dry off completely be-
■
fore using it again.
Maintenance
Observe the servicing instructions in the engine
manual. At the end of the season, have the mower
inspected and serviced by a service centre.
Attention: Motor damage
Engine oil is hazardous to the environ-
ment
After changing the oil, take the waste oil to a waste
oil collecting point or to a waste disposal company.
Batteries are an environmental hazard
Do not throw used batteries away with domestic
waste. Hand over used batteries to your dealer or to
a waste management company. Remove the battery
before scrapping the mower.
Using jump leads
Danger
Never bridge a defective or frozen battery with jump
leads. Ensure that the devices and the jump lead
clips do not touch each other and that the ignitions
are switched off.
Connect the red jump lead to the positive ter-
■
minal (+) of the flat battery and the donor battery.
Connect the black jump lead first to the negative
■
terminal (-) of the donor battery. Connect the other
clip to the frame of the engine block of the vehicle
with the flat battery (as far away from the battery
as possible).
Note
If the donor battery is installed in a vehicle,
this vehicle must not be started during the
jump starting process.
Start the vehicle with the flat battery and actuate
■
the parking brake.
Disconnect the jump leads in reverse sequence.

Tyre pressure
Caution
Never exceed the maximum permitted tyre pressure
(see tyre wall). When pumping up the tyres, do not
stand in front of or over the tyre.
The recommended operating tyre pressure is:
- front: 1.0 bar
- rear: 0.7 bar
Excessive tyre pressure reduces the service life of
the tyres. Always check the tyre pressure before
driving.
After 5 operating hours
First engine oil change. See engine manual for
■
subsequent intervals. Use the oil channel (op-
tional, Fig. 8) to drain.
After 10 operating hours
Lubricate all rotating and bearing points (operating
■
lever, height adjustment of the cutter deck ...) with
several drops of light oil.
Clean battery terminals.
■
Every 25 operating hours
Lubricate all blade shafts, tensioning pulleys and
■
tensioning pulley holders via the grease nipples
using grease type 251H EP. Arrange for this work
to be carried out by a specialist workshop.
Apply multipurpose grease to the teeth on the
■
steering gear.
Lubricate the steering linkage with a few drops of
■
light oil.
Lubricate the wheel bearings and front wheel axes
■
with a multipurpose grease applied to the grease
nipples.
Every 50 operating hours
Dirt and grass remnants must be removed from
■
the drive gear by a specialist workshop.
If required
Charge the battery
If you are not using the device for a prolonged
period, removal of the battery from the device and
charging prior to storage is recommended, as well
as every 2 months during storage, and before start-
ing up the device again.
