dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such
as cold cleaners or petroleum ether.
Warning!
•
Leave the mower in the vertical cleaning po-
sition only for as long as necessary because
in this position there is a considerable risk of
injury.
•
Never leave the mower unsupervised.
•
Keep children away.
7.1.2 Automatic cleaning of the mowing deck
by means of the hos connection (Fig. 10/
Item 14)
The mowing deck is fi tted with a hose connection
(Item 14) (suitable for conventional garden hose
couplings). The lawn mower should be cleaned
thoroughly every time after it has been used.
Warning!
Switch off the engine before you do any work on
the mower. Risk of injury from rotating blades.
Keep the ejector fl ap (Item 5a) closed when you
carry out the cleaning. Risk of injury from catapul-
ted parts.
1. Place the mower on a fi rm, level surface. The
mower must stand on 4 wheels as in mowing
mode. Take off the catch basket (Item 4a) and
make sure that the mulching adapter (Item
4b) has been removed.
2. Connect the water hose to the hose connec-
tion (14).
3. Turn on the tap. Water will fl ow into the inside
of the mowing deck.
4. Start the engine. See section 6.1.
5. Automatic cleaning will begin. The rotating
blades will cast the water against the mowing
deck and therefore clean it from the inside.
A cleaning period of 1-2 minutes is enough
when carried out regularly.
To remove dried grass residues we recommend
carrying out several cleaning cycles. Wait a few
minutes between the cleaning cycles so that the
dried grass can soak and soften up.
Important!
Never clean the mower using a high-pressure
cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaners
or petroleum ether.

7.2 Maintenance
Note: Dispose of soiled maintenance material
and operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
7.2.1 Petrol engine
The enclosed engine manual from Briggs &
Stratton provides maintenance information
and maintenance interval information on the
engine.
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 having the blades checked
once a year.
Changing the blades (Fig. 7/pos. A)
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 con-
tact with an obstacle, switch off the engine imme-
diately and pull off the spark plug connector.
Tilt the lawn mower to the rear 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.
Warning! Risk of injury when working with a da-
maged blade.
7.2.3 Axles and wheel hubs
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.
7.2.4 Care and adjustment of the actuator
cables
Oil the actuator cables at regular intervals and
check that they move easily.
7.2.5 Inspecting the V-belt
To inspect the V-belt you must remove the V-belt
cover (Fig. 8/Item 5b).
