Operation without grass collector

WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower housing must always be closed (flap down).

14 CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR LAWNMOWER

Regular care is the best guarantee of long working life and trouble-free operation!
Only use original spare parts because only those guarantee safety and quality!

Cleaning (Illustration O )

IMPORTANT
When carrying out cleaning and maintenance work do not place the mower on its side, instead tip it forwards (spark
plug pointing upwards), as otherwise you may have difficulties starting it up again. When tilting the mower
forwards, ensure that the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the mower in the raised position!
ATTENTION
When tipping forwards, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the machine. Fire hazard!
Remove dirt and grass residue immediately after finishing mowing. Use a brush or cloth to clean.
IMPORTANT
Never use a pressure cleaner or ordinary water jet to clean the drive section, motor parts (like ignition system, carburettor
etc.), and bearings. Damages or expensive repairs can be the consequence of such action.

Storage

Always keep the machine in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of children. Always allow the engine to cool
down before you store the machine in a closed room.

Collapsing the handle (Illustration A1 )

– To save storage space or for transportation, loosen the four wing nuts so that the guide tube can be folded together
without resistance in a Z-shape above the engine A1 .
The toothed plastic adaptations on the bottom bar end must snap out of the cut-out on the housing.
– Do not kink nor squeeze the throttle cables in the process.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage purposes, when loosening the wing nuts and snapping the toothed
plastic adaptations from the cut-out on the housing, it is possible that unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur.
In addition, this may result in crushed points between the top and bottom part of the bar as well as the housing.
This may result in a risk of injury!

Transporting and securing the equipment (Illustration N )

– If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the handle at the front and at the rear N .
– Transport the equipment in the upright posture.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll away before it is secured.
– Hang out the collection bag and secure it separately during transport.
– Secure the equipment with approved load-strapping means (e.g. tie-down straps with clamping elements) on or inside
the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is designated. The label
contains important details for application.
– For loaded goods that can roll, it is recommended to use direct strapping with four belts. Secure the equipment on the
wheels so that it does not move during transportation.
