To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down
after removing the grass basket and closes off the
rear chute opening. If any grass remains in the
opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if
you pull the mower back approximately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of the grass bas-
ket must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the motor is
switched off and the blade has stopped.
Lift up the chute fl ap with one hand and, holding
the grass basket by its handle with the other
hand, hang in the basket from the top.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Pull the safety plug before carrying out any
cleaning work (Fig. 15).
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
water, particularly with high-pressure water.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could
attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-
sure that no water can seep into the device.
•
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
brush or rag.
7.2 Maintenance
•
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts,
and bolts should be replaced as a set by an

GB
authorized professional in order to keep the
equipment in balance.
•
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e.
screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened
so that the equipment can be safely operated
at all times.
•
Frequently check the grass catch assembly
for signs of wear.
•
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
•
In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip-
ment for many years to come, all screwed
parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should
be cleaned and lubricated.
•
Keeping your lawn mower in good condition
not only ensures a long lifespan and high per-
formance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
•
The blade is subjected to more wear and
tear than any other component. Therefore,
routinely check the condition of the blade
and make sure that it is tightly fastened. If the
blade is completely worn out, it must be im-
mediately replaced or ground sharp again. An
excessively vibrating mower means that the
blade is not properly balanced or has become
deformed from striking an object. In this case,
the blade must be repaired or replaced.
•
There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
7.3 Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the
blade replaced by an authorized professional.
Important! Wear work gloves! Only replace the
blade with a genuine Einhell replacement blade,
as this will ensure top performance and safety
under all conditions.
Carry out the following steps to change the blade:
1. Undo the fastening screw SW13 (see Fig.
16/1).
2. Remove the blade and replace with a new
one.
3. When fi tting the blade, make sure it is ins-
talled in the right direction. The blade's air va-
nes must project into the motor compartment
(see Fig. 16). The dome mounts must be
aligned with the punch holes in the blade.
4. Then retighten the fastening screw with the
universal wrench (see Fig. 16/2). The tighte-
ning torque should be approx. 25 Nm.
At the end of the season, perform a general ins-
pection of the lawn mower and remove any grass
