Mower Maintenance - SANLI LSP 510 S9A Operator's Manual

Before transporting the mower
Thoroughly clean the mower. Empty the fuel tank using a suction pump. Turn
the fuel tap to its OFF position (Fig. 19).
Dispose of discarded fuel safely and
responsibly, remembering that petrol
vapours can cause explosion or fire. Run
the engine until any remaining fuel is
consumed. Allow the engine to cool.
Remove the grass collection bag. Loosen
the handle quick release (Fig.20) and fold
down the top section of the handles taking
care not to bend the cables.
To avoid scratching the mower, insert corrugated cardboard or similar
padding between the upper and lower handlebars and the engine.
Due to the mower's weight, use ramps or seek assistance when lifting or
loading the mower.

Cutting system
Before and after each mowing session, check that the blade, its attachment bolts
and drive shaft are not damaged or excessively worn. Never try to straighten a bent
blade. Replace a damaged, worn or bent blade as soon as possible. Use only
genuine SANLI parts or those approved by SANLI. Excessive vibration when mowing
is a good indication of a problem with the cutting system.
WARNING: Vibration from a bent or damaged blade can cause costly damage
to the mower. Working with an excessively worn blade wastes fuel and can
lead to injury.
Sharpening the blade
For best mowing results, have the edges sharpened and the blade balanced at
least once a year by a specialist service dealer or agent.
Removing the blade
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling
the blade. Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with
air filter and carburettor side uppermost.
Holding the blade firmly in one hand, use a spanner or socket to loosen the
blade bolt.
