Parkside PBAM 224 A1 Operating And Safety Instructions Manual page 25

Worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately for
safety reasons.
Regularly check the catcher (e.g. catch basket, ejector chute)
for wear, damage or loss of functionality.
Working under the machine requires special care due to the
weight of the petrol ride-on lawnmower. Contact your specialist
dealer for this.
Check that the front and rear wheels are secured.
Always keep the petrol ride-on lawnmower and attachment
devices in good working order; all safety devices must be in
place and in good working order.
Check the function of the brake regularly (every 25 operating
hours) and have the necessary settings or maintenance work
carried out by a specialist workshop if necessary.
13.3.1 Wheel axles and hubs
To ensure the smooth running of the wheels, we recommend
cleaning and lightly greasing the wheel axles and wheel hubs
at least once per season.
NOTE:
The front and rear wheels (7 + 4) must be disassembled to
grease the axles and hubs.
13.3.2 Changing the mowing blade
For safety reasons, only have your mowing blade replaced,
sharpened, balanced and fitted by an authorised specialist
workshop. To achieve an optimal working result, it is
recommended to have the mowing blade checked once a year.
