GB IE
Do not tilt the equipment sideways
or forwards. Operating uids could
leak out and the engine could be
damaged.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a toothbrush or cloth but no
corrosive cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use water to clean the engine
as it could contaminate the fuel system.
• After mowing, remove plant remains
that are stuck to the equipment by us-
ing a piece of wood or plastic. Clean
the vent holes (
12), ejection hole
and blade area especially. Do not use
hard or pointed objects, which could
damage the equipment.
• Oil the wheels from time to time.
• Before each use, check the lawnmower
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts. Check that all nuts
bolts and screws are sitting rmly.
• Check covers and guards (
3, 7,
10, 12) for damage and that they are
sitting correctly. Replace if necessary.
Clean blades
The blades and the lower side of the de-
vice can be easily cleaning by using the
garden hose connection (39) with water,
without having to tilt the device.
1. Place the device on a level sur-
face.
2. Connect the garden hose with a
common hose coupling system to
the garden hose connection (39).
3. Start the motor (see “Starting
and Stopping the Engine”).
4. Open the tap and let it run for
1-2 minutes.
5. Turn off the motor and remove
the garden hose.
Cleaning/Replacing the Air
Filter
Do not operate the equipment
without the air lter otherwise dust
and dirt will get into the engine and
result in damage to the machine.
1. Remove the spark plugs connec-
tor (
15).
2. Open the air lter box (13) and
take out the air lter (14).
3. Replace a defective air lter with
a new lter (see “Spare Parts/
Accessories”).
4. To install, place the air lter (14)
in the air lter box (13) and re-
close it.
Maintaining the Spark Plug
A worn spark plug or a spark gap
that is too large will result in a re-
duction of engine performance.
1. Disconnect the spark plug con-
nector (15) from the spark plug
(16) by simultaneously pulling
and turning.
2. Unscrew the spark plug (16)
anticlockwise using the enclosed
spark plug wrench (
29).
3. Check the spark gap using a
feeler gauge (available from
specialist shops). The spark gap
must be at least 0.51 mm.
4. If necessary, adjust the gap by
carefully bending the ground
electrode on the spark plug.
5. Clean the spark plug with a wire
brush.
6. Insert the cleaned and adjusted
spark plug or replace a dam-
aged spark plug with a new one
