6. Vedligeholdelse og pleje

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din plæneklippers lange levetid og optimale ydeevne.

  • Rensning: After each use, clean the cutting deck. The integrated wash port makes this easy: connect a garden hose, turn on the water, and start the engine for a short period to clean the underside.
  • Bladinspektion: Regularly check the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull blade can tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. Replace or sharpen as needed.
  • Olieskift: Change the engine oil according to the Briggs & Stratton engine manual, typically after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25-50 hours or annually.
  • Luftfilter: Inspect and clean or replace the air filter regularly to ensure proper engine performance.
  • Tændrør: Check and clean or replace the spark plug annually.
  • Opbevaring: For long-term storage, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the mower thoroughly and store it in a dry, protected area. The ergonomic handle can be folded to save space.
