1. Disengage the drive unit for the attachments,
apply the locking brake, switch off the engine
and pull out the spark boot plug and the igniti-
on key.
2. Check that all moving parts have reached a
complete standstill.
3. Remove the grass basket.
4. Remove the blockage with a stick.
5. Move forward a short distance before swit-
ching on the mower unit again.
6.3 After mowing
1. Always allow the engine to cool before you
put the lawn mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects
on top of the mower.
3. Before using the mower again, retighten all
nuts and screws. Tighten all screws which
were slackened.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Disconnect the spark plug boot to prevent
unauthorized use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next
to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can
lead to explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs
(see address on the warranty certifi cate).
8. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction
pump if you are not intending to use the mo-
wer for an extended period of time.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is
not a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source.
Always use a can that is approved to store
petrol. Keep petrol away from children.
11. Oil and maintain the equipment.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
and transport
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance informa-
tion and maintenance interval information on the
engine.
Important:
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-
scribed in these operating instructions should
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
7.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This particularly
applies to its underside and the blade mount.
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 engine using
a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner. The engine
must remain dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents such as cold cleaners or petroleum ether.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
bag and especially the air grill must be cleaned
after each use.
Important. Do not use your hands or feet to re-
move clippings in or on the mower housing, but
instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a
hand broom.
7.2 Maintenance
Important: The enclosed engine manual from
Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance informa-
tion and maintenance interval information on the
engine.
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and ope-
rating materials at the appropriate collection point.
