ne is release the engine start/stop lever
(Fig. 5a/Item 1a). Pull the ignition cable from
the spark plug boot in order to prevent the
engine from restarting. Before you start the
engine again, check the cord for the engine
brake. Check that the cord is correctly fi tted.
If the cord is kinked or damaged, it should be
replaced.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Important:
Never work on or touch any current-conducting
parts of the ignition system while the engine is
running. Pull the spark plug boot from the spark
boot before doing any maintenance or assembly
work. Never carry out any work on the equipment
while the engine is running. Work that is not de-
scribed in these operating instructions, should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
7.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies in
particular to its underside and the blade mount.
Tilt the lawn mower to the rear by pressing down
the push bar.
Note: Do not tilt the lawn mower by more than
90 degrees. It is easiest to remove dirt and grass
immediately after mowing. Dried grass remnants
and dirt may impair the mowing operation. Check
if the grass ejector chute is free of grass remnants
and remove any if necessary. Never clean the mo-
wer using a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner.
Ensure that no water can get into the interior of
the equipment. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents such as cold cleaners or petroleum ether.
7.2 Servicing
Please refer to the supplied petrol service
manual for information on the maintenance
intervals.
Important: Dispose of soiled maintenance mate-
rial and media at the appropriate collection point

7.2.1 Axles and wheel hubs
A thin coating of grease should be applied to the
axles and wheel hubs once per season.
To do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdri-
ver and loosen the fastening screws on the
wheels.
7.2.2 Blades
For safety reasons, have all blade sharpening,
balancing and mounting work carried out by an
authorized service center. To achieve optimal re-
sults, we recommend to have the blades checked
once a year.
Changing the blades (Fig. 8)
When changing the cutting unit, be sure to use
only genuine replacement parts. The identifi cation
mark on the blade must correspond with the num-
ber specifi ed in the spare parts list.
Never install a blade from a diff erent manufactu-
rer.
Damaged blades
If, in spite of all caution, the blade comes into
contact with an obstacle, switch off the engine
immediately and pull the spark plug boot.
Tilt the mower to the side and check the blade
for damage. Damaged or bent blades must be
replaced. Never straighten a bent blade. Never
work with bent or heavily worn blades as this will
result in vibrations, causing further damage to the
mower.
Important: Risk of injury when working with a da-
maged blade.
Resharpening the blade
The blade edges can be resharpened with a
metal fi le. To avoid imbalance, the blade reshar-
pening work should only be carried out by an
authorized service center.
7.2.3 Oil level check
Important: Never run the engine with no or too
little oil. This can cause serious damage to the
engine.
Checking the oil level
Place the lawn mower on a level and straight sur-
face. Unscrew the oil dipstick (Fig. 9a/Item 7) by
turning it counter-clockwise and wipe the dipstick.
Re-insert the dipstick into the fi ller opening as far
as it will go but do not screw it in. Pull out the dip-
stick, hold it horizontally and read off the oil level.
The oil level must be between the two marks min.
and max. on the oil dipstick (Fig. 9b).
