Starting The Engine; General Remarks - KLIPPO TRIUMPH Manual De Instrucciones

ENGINES: 625 Series, 550 Series
1. Push the Prime-starter (fi g. 4) throughly three times. It is
placed in the front of the engine and on the right side. When
starting a warm engine, normally pushing the prime-starter is
unnecessary.
2. The security bail (fi g. 5b) must be in operating posi tion, by
starting and operating.
3. Give the starting string a powerful lug.
By cold weather it could be necessary to repeat the procedu-
re. If the engine still doesn´t start, try to start with the throttle
control in idle position (turtle). If the engine still doesn´t start,
take off the spark plug and clean it and try again.
675 Series-engine
1. The security bail (fi g. 5b) must be in operating posi tion, by
starting and operating.
2. Just pull the starting string.
Tidy up the lawn before mowing. Solid objects laying in the
grass are dangerous to hit with blade and are worning out the
blades unnecessarily.
A lawnmower must not be driven into solid objects, check the
lawn for any concealed pipes and mark their position. Drive
the lawnmower calmly and methodically, e.g., in continous
circles and always in such a way that you even out any stri-
pes. Mow in different directions every time.
Maintenance
NB. To prevent accidental engine starting, always dis-connect the
ignition cable when the engine or lawnmower is being serviced!
The machine should be left to an authorized KLIPPO-work-
shop after every season. Machines with catalytic converter
should be left to an authorized KLIPPO-workshop at least
ever third year or every 100 operating hours, whichever oc-
curs fi rst.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the top underneath of the lawnmower clean and wipe
off any grass before it dries. When working underneath the
machine place the machine with the spark plug upwards
and disconnect the ignition cable. Tighten all mounting bolts
from time to time and lubricate catches and axles after every
season. Bare-metal parts should be rubbed down with a
rag dipped in anti-corrosion oil. Routine servicing every fi fty
hours is recommended in cases of professional use. Use only
KLIPPO original spare parts and accessoires. (It's a condition
for the CE-marking).

Starting the engine

MODELS WITH HONDA ENGINE:
1. Starting a cold engine: Set the trottle control to choke
position (hare), pulshed forward as far as possible. And
open the petrol valve (behind the air fi lter on the left side
of the engine). If the engine has got too much petrol, try
to start with the throttle control in idle position. If it doesn't
start, take off the spark plug and clean it from petrol and
dirt. When starting a warm engine, normally the choke is
unnecessary.
2. The security bail (fi g. 5b) must be in operating posi- tion, by
starting and operating.
3. Give the staring string a powerful lug.
STOP
The machine will be stopped either through dropping the
security bail (fi g. 5b).

General remarks

TIPS ON MOWING
Experts agree that it is the best to trim only one third of the
length of the grass at one time, as this stimulates its growth
and gives a tougher and greener lawn.
Maintenance
Cutter blade system
Mulcherblade standard for Triumph, Champion, Pro 17 GCV
and Pro 19. For the Excellent models we use a Cross-cut
mulcher blade (fi g. 6).
Blade replacement
A robust cup spring presses the blade plate/blade against a
friction washer. A 14 mm ring spanner or sockel is recommen-
ded for removal of the blade bolt, which has a
conventional right-hand thread. To assemble, tighten the bolt
fi rmly and carefully knock the sockel onto it with a hammer.
The blade also functions as a fl ywheel. If it slips the engine
may run unevenly or be diffi cult to start, e.g., may backfi re.
N.B. To avoid vibration, fi t the blade with the markings on the
blade mount facing the side of the blade. See fi g. 7.
VIBRATIONS
Never run a lawnmower if it vibrates abnormally.
If a blade is damaged, replace it.
