BASIC MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Before inspecting, cleaning, or
servicing the machine, disconnect the Spark Plug
from the machine. Failure to follow the
instructions can result in serious personal injury
or property damage.
WARNING! Turn off
undertaking any cleaning.
If the cut grass is damp, regularly clean the
lawnmower after each use, in order to ensure
better functioning of the machine and reduce
the risk of corrosion or seizure. Having finished
mowing, allow the engine to cool and then
remove the accumulated grass clippings from and
around the engine with a brush. Clean the grass
collector regularly with a brush, or gently spray
water and allow it to dry.
Clean the underneath of the deck regularly – disconnect
the spark plug and tilt the machine backwards. Remove
the cut grass with a scraper or brush.
DO NOT USE
pressure washers or hot water to clean the mow-
er. Dry off the machine before storing, by leaving
it running for a few minutes on a flat, clean sur-
face to prevent corrosion or seizure.
STORING YOUR MOwER
Store the mower in a dry, well ventilated area
away from flames, sparks, or heat sources. Dis-
connect the spark plug. Avoid storing underneath
a tarpaulin or similar cover as it may cause con-
densation resulting in corrosion.
wINTER STORAGE: Thoroughly clean the mow-
er. Run the engine outdoors until the fuel tank is
empty). Alternatively, use a suction pump to re-
move the fuel when the engine is off and then run
the engine until the remaining fuel is consumed.
Dispose the discarded fuel safely and responsibly.
Remove the spark plug and pour a tablespoon
with SAE15W/40 SF of 4-stroke engine oil into
the cylinder opening. Gently pull the recoil rope
several times to distribute oil around the engine,
to protect the cylinder over winter. Replace and
tighten the spark plug.
TRANSpORTING ThE MOwER
Ensure the fuel tank is empty. Run the engine
until any remaining fuel is consumed. Allow the
engine to cool.

GLM 46/140 SP PLUS - GLM 51/160 SP PLUS
the blade assembly, wear non-slip, heavy-duty
protective gloves. Do not place your naked hand
or fingers on the blade or in any position where
they could get cut. NEvER touch the blades or
service the unit when the engine is running.
ShARpENING
Never attempt to sharpen the blade yourself.
The blade must remain balanced; an unbalanced
blade will cause excessive vibration through the
machine. Always have a blade sharpened by a
professional.
Always check for any damage before each use
and replace a damaged blade immediately, with
an approved replacement part.
AIR FILTER
Inspect the air filter each time the engine is
operated (Fig.18). You will need to clean the air filter
more frequently if you operate the engine in very
dusty areas. Always replace with original parts.
NOTE: Operating the engine without an air clean-
er, or with a damaged air cleaner, will allow dirt
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
This type of damage is not covered under the
Warranty.
Remove the air filter cover lid & remove the filter
cartridge. Knock it out against a hard surface
until the dirt has been removed. Do not brush
out! Reinstall the filter. Insert the filter cartridge
into its housing and replace the filter lid, ensuring
that each component is properly installed.
Check the spark plug initially after the first five
hours of mower use. Thereafter, maintenance of
the sparkplug should take place every 25 hours.
Remove the spark plug cap (Fig.16) using a rotary
motion & then remove the spark plug with the
wrench provided (Fig.17).
Clean off any carbon deposits using a copper brush
and check the electrode gap with a feeler gauge
(the gap should be 0.6-0.8 mm). Replace and tighten
the serviced spark plug and replace the cap.
If the spark plug is worn or damaged, replace with
a new spark plug of the same or suitable type
for the engine. If in doubt, contact your point of
purchase or local dealer.
