Cleaning - Scheppach PY-RM150-46 Translation Of Original Instruction Manual

• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels
have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe
in any other way. Before you back up, en-
sure that nobody is standing behind you
(especially little children, who are more dif-
ficult to see).
• When mowing over thick, high grass, se-
lect the highest cutting level and mow at
a slower speed. Before you remove any
grass or blockages of any kind, switch off
the engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill the engine with petrol when it is
hot or is running.
Emptying the grass basket
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the
lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass
basket.
WARNING
m
Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the engine and wait until the
blade has come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket (16), use one
hand to lift up the chute flap (15) and the oth-
er to grab onto the basket handle (Fig. 16).
Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the
chute flap (15) automatically falls down af-
ter removing the grass basket and closes off
the rear chute opening.
If any grass remains in the opening, it will
be easier to restart the engine if you pull the
mower back approx. 1 meter. Do not use
your hands or feet to remove clippings in or
on the mower housing, but instead use suit-
able tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass
clippings are picked up, the inside of both the
grass basket (16) and especially the air grill
must be cleaned after each use. Reattach
the grass basket (16) only when the engine
is switched off and the blade is stopped. Us-
ing one hand, lift up the chute flap (15), while
grabbing onto the basket handle with the
other. Hang in the basket from the top. Fig. 9

After mowing
• Allow the engine to cool before you put the
lawn mower in an enclosed area.
Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil be-
fore storing the mower. Do not place any
objects on top of the mower.
• Check all the screws and nuts once more
before you start to use the lawn mower
again. Tighten any loose screws.
• Also be sure to empty the grass basket
(16).
• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unau-
thorized use.
• Ensure that you do not park the mower
next to any source of danger. Petrol fumes
can lead to explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by
the manufacturer may be used for repairs
(see address on the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used
for an extended period, empty the petrol
tank using a petrol suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.

Cleaning

The mower should be thoroughly cleaned
after each use. In particular, the underside
and the blade retainer.
Attention!
m
For safety reasons, disconnect the spark
plug cable before cleaning.
It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The
spark plug should point upwards to prevent
engine oil from entering the intake tract or
leaking out.
Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its
side, but you must make sure that the air fil-
ter is on the upper side.
Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty
the fuel tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump.
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 de-
grees.
It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass im-
mediately after mowing.
Grass residues and dirt that have dried on
can impair mowing.
