Conversion To Rear Discharge Mower (Figure U2 + S1 ); Service Intervals; Care And Servicing For Your Mower; Cleaning (Figure O ) - Sabo 40-CLASSIC Betriebsanleitung

If, nevertheless, the lawn must be mowed when it is very damp or wet, the grass sections
must be shorter, i.e. the cutting height must be set 1-2 steps higher than for a dry lawn.
You will notice that observing these simple rules, you will get a healthy lawn and the
green waste disposal is no longer necessary.
Information regarding mulching can also be found on the manufacturer's website.
And if the grass is too high for mulching, the mulching mower can be converted for
mowing with the grass collecting bag with only a few steps.

– Switch off the engine.
– Lift the ejection flap.
– Remove the mulch plug from the channel U2 .
– Hang the grass collecting bag into the provided holder at the mower housing S1 .
Conversion of the mulching knife system is not necessary! However, under difficult
mowing conditions (e.g. wet grass), the collecting bag filling may be reduced.
So that the device can be used as mulching mower again, the mulch plug must be
re-installed. To do this, remove the grass collecting bag, insert the mulching plug into the
ejection channel and close the ejection flap.
Clean the ejection channel in advance.

17 CARE AND SERVICING FOR YOUR MOWER

Regular care is the best way to guarantee a long service life and problem-free operation!
Insufficient device maintenance will lead to safety-related faults!
Only use original spare parts because only those guarantee safety and quality!

Cleaning (figure O )

IMPORTANT
For cleaning and maintenance work, do not put the mower on the side, but tilt it up
at the front (spark plug up); otherwise, starting difficulties may occur. When tilting
the mower upwards, make sure that the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the
mower in the raised position!
ATTENTION
When tilting the machine upwards, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the
machine. Fire hazard!
Remove all dirt and grass directly after mowing. Use a brush or cloth to clean.
Do not turn the cutter bar as otherwise engine oil will be pumped into the carburettor/air
filter and starting difficulties may occur.
ATTENTION
Do not insert your fingers into the fan housing openings and hold the fan. If the
cutter bar is rotated during cleaning, there is a risk that your fingers will be
squeezed between the fan and the fan housing!
IMPORTANT
Never clean the drive area, engine parts (like ignition system, carburettor, etc.),
seals and bearing points with a high-pressure cleaner or normal water jet.
Damages or expensive repairs can be the consequence of such action.

Storage

Always keep the device in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of children.
Allow the engine to cool down before you store the machine in closed rooms.

Collapsing the guide bar (figure A1 )

– For space-saving storage or for transport, loosen the wing nuts until the guide bar
can be collapsed in Z form over the engine without resistance A1 .
The locking cams at the lower bar end must disengage from the bores in the
housing.
– Do not kink or squeeze the Bowden cables while doing so.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage, the bar may fold over
unintentionally when loosening the wing nuts and disengaging the locking cams
from the bores in the housing. In addition, there may be pinching points between
lower and upper bar section and housing. This may result in risk of injury.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the guide bars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along the
outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical defect of
the device.

Transporting and securing the device

– If the device has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap. Hold it at the front, on
the housing, and at the back, on the handlebar connection (see figure N ).
Please take the weight of the machine into consideration before lifting it
(see Technical Data). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
We recommend that two people should always lift or carry the device.
– Transport the device upright on all 4 wheels to avoid fuel loss, damage to the
equipment and personal injury.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the device cannot roll away
before it is secured.
– Remove the collecting bag and secure it separately during transport.
– Secure the device with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps with
clamping elements) on or inside the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made
of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is marked with a label. The label contains
