General inspection
• Check that nuts and screws are tight.
External cleaning
• Brush leaves, grass and the like off of the lawn mower.
• Do not use a high pressure washer to clean the
machine.
• Never flush water directly on the engine.
• Clean the air intake on the starter. Check the starter
and starter cord.
• When cleaning under the cutting cover, empty the fuel
tank and put the machine with the spark plug
upwards.
Oil level
The lawn mower should stand on flat ground when you
check the oil level. Check the oil level with the dipstick on
the oil filler cap.
• Remove the oil cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
• Put the dipstick back in. The oil filler cap must be
completely screwed down to give a correct picture of
the oil level.
• If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil up to the upper
level on the dipstick.

Oil change

• Empty the fuel tank.
• Unscrew the oil filler cap.
• Place a suitable vessel to collect the oil in.
• Drain the oil by tipping the engine so that the oil runs
out through the filler pipe. Ask where you can dispose
of surplus engine oil at your local petrol station.
• Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See
instructions in the section "Technical data".
Cutting equipment
• Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be
replaced.
• Always ensure the cutter is well ground and balanced
correctly.
WARNING! Always wear heavy-duty
!
gloves when servicing and maintaining
the cutting equipment. The cutters are
very sharp and cuts can occur very
easily.
CAUTION! The blades should be balanced after
sharpening.
Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting
obstacles that result in a breakdown.
