Your mower offers three cutting options:

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your lawn mower. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.

5.1 Generel rengøring

After each use, clean grass clippings and debris from the mower deck, wheels, and engine cooling fins. Use a brush or cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the engine.

5.2 Motorvedligeholdelse

• Olieskift: Skift motorolien efter de første 5 timers drift, derefter hver 25. time eller årligt.
• Luftfilter: Inspicer og rengør luftfilteret regelmæssigt. Udskift det, hvis det er beskadiget eller meget snavset.
• Tændrør: Inspect the spark plug annually. Clean or replace as needed.

5.3 Pleje af blade

Regularly inspect the cutting blade for sharpness and damage. A dull blade tears grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. Sharpen or replace the blade as necessary. Always wear heavy gloves when handling the blade.
