Danger!
Never work on or touch any current-conducting
parts of the ignition system while the engine is
running. Pull the spark plug boot from the spark
boot before doing any maintenance or assembly
work. Never carry out any work on the equipment
while the engine is running. Work that is not de-

7.1 Cleaning in the vertical cleaning position

The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies in
particular to its underside and the blade mount.
Note: Before tilting the lawn mower into the ver-
tical cleaning position, use a petrol extraction
pump to drain all the fuel out of the fuel tank. Do
not tilt the lawn mower by more than 90 degrees.
Vertical cleaning position (Fig. 13a/13b)
Important! Before moving the mower into the
vertical cleaning position, switch off the engine
and pull out the spark plug connector. Important!
Place the mower only on a fi rm, level surface.
1. Open the star nuts (Item 11).
2. Press the lower push bar apart and swing it
open (Fig.13a).
3. Move the mower into the vertical cleaning po-
sition (Fig.13b).
4. Clean the bottom side of the mower with the
cleaning scraper (Fig.2/Item 14).
Warning!
Sharp blades! Wear gloves during the cleaning
work.
It is easiest to remove dirt and grass immediately
after mowing. Dried grass remnants and dirt may
impair the mowing operation. Check if the grass
ejector chute is free of grass remnants and remo-
ve any if necessary. 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.

Note! Never run the engine with no or too little oil.
This can cause serious damage to the engine.
Checking the oil level
Place the lawn mower so that it stands level. Un-

it counter-clockwise and wipe the dipstick. Re-
insert the dipstick into the fi ller opening as far as it
will go but do not screw it in. Pull out the dipstick,
hold it horizontally and read off the oil level. The
oil level must be between the two marks min. and
max. on the oil dipstick (Fig. 9b).

The engine oil is best changed when the engine
has been switched off but is still warm.
1. Remove the blades, blade holder (Fig. 8/Item

2. Place a fl at oil drip tray beneath the mower.

check the oil level – only insert it as far as the
