Maintenance and care
Damaged Blade
The engine needs to be shut off and the spark
plug cap has to be removed if the blade has come
in contact with a foreign object or other obstacle.
After the blade stops, tilt the mower and check the
blade for damage. Deformed or bent blades are
not to be re-aligned.
Damaged parts are to be replaced immediately. If
the mower has been driven over a notable
obstacle, the mower needs to be checked by an
authorized Service Center. Prior to use make
certain that blade and blade fastening parts are
not damaged. If necessary, parts need to be
checked or replaced. Never operate mower with
an unbalanced blade - this would cause vibration
and additional damage.
Sharpening of Blade
Fig. 13
Attention: The blade may be sharpened with a
metal file; however, we recommend that
resharpening/sanding is done by an authorized
Service Center who will pay attention that the
same amount is sanded off on each side to avoid
any imbalance.
The cutting edge of the blade is only be resanded
up to the imprinted markings.
