Cleaning; Transport - Scheppach LMT225-53 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized use.
• Ensure that you do not park the mower next to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on
the warranty certificate).
• If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an extended period, empty the petrol tank using a
petrol suction pump.
• Oil and maintain the machine.

10. Cleaning

Cleaning
The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. In particular, the underside and the blade
retainer.
m Attention!
For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable before cleaning.
It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark plug should point upwards to prevent engine oil
from entering the intake tract or leaking out.
Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you must make sure that the air filter is on the
upper side.
Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump.
Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.
It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately after mowing.
Grass residues and dirt that have dried on can impair mowing. Check that the grass ejection chan-
nel is clear of grass residues and remove these if necessary.
Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pressure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold cleaners or white spirit.

• Remove the mulch unit / gras box.
• Fit the hose connection to the mower and turn the tap on. (Fig. 24)
• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the
water onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).

11. Transport

Preparing the mower for transportation (Fig. 22)
• Empty the petrol tank.
• Always let the engine run until it has used up the remainder of petrol in the tank.
• Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.
• Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
• Remove the start tension cable (17) from the hook. Loosen the quick-release lever (5) and fold the
upper push bar down. Make sure the cables are not bent during this process.
• Wedge a few layers of corrugated cardboard between the upper and lower push bars and the en-
gine in order to prevent any chafing.
