15 SERVICING THE ENGINE

WARNING
Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even with doors and windows open.
Move the machine to an outside area before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
To clean the engine and for maintenance work, do not place the engine or mower on its side but tilt forwards O
(spark plug upwards) because otherwise there may be problems starting the engine. When tipping the mower
forwards, make sure that the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the mower in the raised position!
ATTENTION
When tilting or placing the mower on its side, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the machine. Fire hazard!
The regular implementation of the prescribed maintenance and care work are the prerequisite for a permanent and fault-free
functionality of the motor and also the basic requirement for any guarantee claims.
The motor should be kept clean, particularly on the outside, and the silencer and cylinder area must always be kept free from
foreign bodies (e.g. grass residue). The exhaust and motor reach very high temperatures when in use. Flammable foreign
bodies such as foliage, grass etc. may catch fire.
Perfect cooling can also only ensured when cylinder ribs are always clean.
IMPORTANT
Never use a pressure cleaner or ordinary water jet to clean the motor. Damages or expensive repairs can be the
consequence of such action.
