5. Mowing Techniques and 3-in-1 System

For best results, mow in overlapping rows. The 3-in-1 system allows for versatile grass management:

• Stražnje hvatanje u vreće: Collects grass clippings in the attached bag. Empty the bag regularly to maintain collection efficiency.
• bočno pražnjenje: Directs clippings out of the side chute. Attach the side discharge chute when not using the bag or mulching.
• Malčiranje: Finely cuts and redistributes clippings back onto the lawn as natural fertilizer. Ensure the mulching plug is inserted and the side discharge chute and grass bag are removed.

Održavanje

WARNING: Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

1. Redovno čišćenje

After each use, clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup, which can affect cutting performance. Use a stiff brush or scraper. Clean the engine cooling fins to ensure proper airflow.

2. Motorno ulje

Check the oil level before each use. Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 25 hours or annually, whichever comes first.

3. Filter zraka

Inspect the air filter every 25 hours or more frequently in dusty conditions. Clean or replace as necessary to ensure proper engine performance.

4. Svjećica

Inspect the spark plug annually or every 50 hours. Clean or replace if fouled or worn. Ensure the gap is set correctly according to the engine manual.

5. Njega oštrice

Inspect the blade regularly for sharpness, cracks, or bends. A dull blade tears grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed. Always use genuine replacement parts.

6. Skladištenje

For long-term storage (over 30 days), drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Clean the mower thoroughly. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. The foldable handle allows for more compact storage.
