Expert inspection is required:
a) If the lawn mower strikes an object.
b) If the motor stops suddenly
c) If the blade is bent (do not align!)
d) If the gears are damaged.
Replacing and resharpening the mowing blade at the
end of the mowing season always resharpen the mow-
ing 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!
Change the blade
Caution: do not touch rotating blade
To remove the blade, unscrew the screw, check the
blade support and change all spare parts if they are worn
out or damage.
When reassembling the blade, make sure that the cut-
ting edges face in the direction of the engine rotation.
Engine oil replacement
1. Place the machine on even and stable surface. Warm
up the engine for several minutes and then stop it.
2. Loose the engine oil cap, the drain bolt and sealing
washer.
3. Drain oil into a container thoroughly by tilting the
engine toward the oil filler neck (fig. 20).
4. Once emptied, tilt the machine back and places it in
right position.
5. Refill with recommended oil to the upper limit of
the filler neck, and check oil level which should be
between the max. and min. level.
6. Reinstall the engine oil cap.
