CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the lawn tractor

In order to work properly, the lawn tractor must be cleaned regularly.

After each use, clean adhering residue from the lawn tractor and the grass box.

Grass box

 

Take the grass box off the lawn tractor.

28

The gas springs must be removed before you can take the

grass box off the lawn tractor.

Clean the fabric sack from the outside with a jet of water.

If necessary, also clean the inside of the fabric sack with a brush.

Housing / engine / transmission

The engine and all the bearings (wheels, transmission, blade bearings etc.) must not be cleaned with water, in particular not with a high- pressure cleaner.

Any water penetrating into the ignition unit, into the carburettor and the air filter can cause damage. Water in the bearings can lead to a loss of lubrication and thus to the destruction of the bearings.

To remove dirt and residue of grass, use a cloth, a hand-held sweeper, a long-handled brush etc.

Electrical unit

Do not clean the electrical unit with water. Penetration of water into the electrical unit (switch, display, cable, operating elements etc.) can lead to damage.

Discharge channel

43

The ease of movement of the adjustment of the cutting

height is guaranteed by regular cleaning.

The discharge channel comprises two parts pushed into one another.

The lower part is firmly attached to the mower housing. The upper part can be removed for cleaning.

The grass box must be taken off before you can remove the discharge channel.

Remove screw connection n on the left and right of the discharge channel.

IMPORTANT!

There is a shim under each screw.

Pull discharge channel o out backwards through the rear wall. Thoroughly clean the upper and the lower discharge channel.

The discharge channel is put back in reverse order.

Replacing and resharpening the mowing blade

At the end of the mowing season always resharpen the mowing blade or, if required, replace the mowing blade with a new one.

Always have the mowing blade resharpened or replaced by a customer service centre (measurement of imbalance).

Unbalanced blades will cause the lawn mower to vibrate violently – risk of accident!
