Adjustment Of Clutch Cable; Maintenance - FLORABEST FBM 575 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

BASIC WORKING TECHNIQUES
Always cut with a sharp blade for optimal results.
A dull blade gives an uneven cut and the grass
becomes yellow on the surface of the cut.
Never mow more than 1/3 of the length of the grass.
This especially applies during dry periods. Mow fist
with the cutting height set high. Then check the
result and lower to an appropriate height. If the
grass is really long, drive slowly and mow twice
if necessary.

ADJustMENt of CLutCH CABLE

If, when you press the clutch lever, the automatic advance gear does not engage, the clutch cable
should be adjusted. To make fine adjustments, turn the adjuster wheel(Fig.I) counter clockwise to
engage advance gear earlier. To make rough adjustments, insert the spring (Fig.I) in one of the
subsequent holes in the lever.

 Frequently check the mower and ensure that
all grass deposits are removed from beneath

equipment and function of engine stop lever.
Change oil, replace spark plug and clean/replace
air filter, according to the maintenance chart in
Engine Operator's Manual.

Cut in different directions each time in order to
avoid stripes in the lawn.
Use the mulchplug if you want the machine to cut
the grass in small pieces that will work as lawn
fertilizer. See section E for instructions.
Use the bag to collect the grass in order to have
a clean lawn.
Caution! Switch off the engine and disconnect
the spark plug before undertaking any mainte-
nance work.
Sharpening of the blade should always be perfor-
med by a professional. Contact your service centre
to discuss and arrange the handling.
Oil level
The lawn mower should stand on flat ground when
you check the oil level. Check the oil level with the
dipstick on the oil filler cap.
- Remove the oil cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
- Put the dipstick back in. The oil filler cap must
be completely screwed down to give a correct
picture of the oil level.
- If the oil level is low, fill engine oil up to the upper
level on the dipstick. See min and max marking.
For further explanation of oil change and engine
maintenance, see Engine Operator's Manual.
Cleaning
Never clean the mower by pouring water over it:
this may seriously damage the electric system.
Use a brush to clean the top from leaves, dust
and grass.
