Engine Tipping/ Poor Engine Performance; Maintenance; Replacing The Blades - ALDI 59085 User Manual

Operation
3. To safely operate the mower ensure all four wheels are on the ground and
be careful not to lose your footing or control of the mower. Be very careful
when mowing uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on the handle bar
at all times, always walk, never run with the lawn mower.
4. For healthy growth, grass should not be cut too short. The grass will remain
healthier, greener and require less watering.
5. Vary your cutting pattern from week to week, this will help to prevent
matting and graining of the grass.
6. If using the mulching function, and grass is piling up behind the lawn
mower during the cutting action, lift the lawn mower to the next cutting
height using the height adjustment lever (18).
Engine tipping
NOTE: Always ensure the engine is switched off and
the spark plug cap is removed before undertaking
this task.
When cleaning, or performing any maintenance
such as replacing the blades, it is very important
that the lawn mower is ONLY tipped backwards.
(Fig AD). Failing to do so will result in engine damage.
Should this occur, the mower should be taken to a
lawn mower repair shop which is not covered under warranty.
Poor engine performance
Should the engine idle or run rough at full speed with excessive bluey/black
smoke emanating from the muffler, it is possible that the engine was slightly
tipped incorrectly (refer above). If the mower has been tipped, allow the
engine to run for a few minutes and the excess oil will burn out.
If the engine is not running at full speed, check the fuel is fresh, check the oil
level, and also inspect under the deck to ensure there is no build up of grass.
Check the spark plug. If the mower continues to underperform, take the
mower to your nearest an authorised Service Agent.

Maintenance

Replacing the Blades

NOTE. Before making any adjustment or
maintenance procedures to the lawn mower ensure
it is turned off and the spark plug lead is removed.
NOTE. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.
1. With the engine switched off, remove the hard
catcher (13) and lift the front of the lawn mower
upwards so the upper handle bar (1) sits on the
ground and the spark plug faces upwards.
2. Remove the blade bolt (31) using a 17mm spanner (not supplied) by
turning in an anti-clockwise direction (Fig AE), then remove the outer
flange and washer (32) (Fig AF). This allows you to be able to remove the
blade mounting plate (19) from the lawn mower.
3. To remove a single blade from the blade mounting plate (19), again use
a 17mm spanner (not supplied) to loosen and remove the nut, screw and
washer. (Fig AG/AH)
AF. AG.
NOTE: There is 1 washer located under the screw
on the outer side of the blade mounting plate (19).
Be careful not to lose this (Fig AI).
