Replacing The Power Cable; Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts - EINHELL GC-EM 1742 Mode D'emploi

To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down
after 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 approximately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
basket and especially the net must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the motor is
switched off and the blade has stopped.
Lift up the chute fl ap with one hand and, holding
the grass basket by its handle with the other
hand, hang in the basket from the top.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-

GB
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
8.3 Maintenance
•
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts,
and bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
equipment in balance.
•
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
water, particularly with high-pressure water.
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e.
screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened
so that the equipment can be safely operated
at all times.
•
Frequently check the grass catch assembly
for signs of wear.
•
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
•
Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
•
In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip-
ment for many years to come, all screwed
parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should
be cleaned and lubricated.
•
Keeping your lawn mower in good condition
not only ensures a long lifespan and high per-
formance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
brush or rag. Do not use any solvents or water
to remove dirt.
•
The blade is subjected to more wear and
tear than any other component. Therefore,
routinely check the condition of the blade
and make sure that it is tightly fastened. If the
blade is completely worn out, it must be im-
mediately replaced or ground sharp again. An
excessively vibrating mower means that the
blade is not properly balanced or has become
deformed from striking an object. In this case,
the blade must be repaired or replaced.
•
There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
