Product Information

Razor Series 4805 TR/M – 4810 TR/M

The Razor Series is a lawn mower designed to efficiently cut grass on your lawn. It is available in two models, the 4805 TR/M and the 4810 TR/M. The lawn mower is manufactured by Texas A/S, located in Denmark. The product comes with an original user manual that provides detailed instructions on how to operate the lawn mower safely and effectively.

Product Usage Instructions

Before starting the lawn mower, it is important to fill it with engine oil SAE-30. Always check the engine oil level before starting the motor as it is not pre-filled with oil. When operating the Razor Series lawn mower, always wear safety glasses and ear protection to avoid any injuries. Keep your distance from other people, children, and animals while mowing. The blade of the lawn mower is sharp, so do not touch it with your hands or feet. Never place your hands or feet under the cutting deck. It is recommended to use original spare parts and correct tools when replacing or repairing any parts of the lawn mower. Factory-fitted control devices such as the handle-mounted clutch cable must not be removed or exposed. After using the lawn mower, clean the underside of the shield and the cutting deck to maintain its efficiency. Drain the fuel tank outdoors as gasoline is extremely flammable and its fumes are explosive. Properly secure the lawn mower when transporting it on a flatbed truck or any other vehicle. Normal wear and tear of the lawn mower’s parts is not covered by the warranty policy. For any product inquiries, contact Texas A/S customer service at +45 6395 5555 or [email protected].

2. Tighten turning anti-clockwise – tighten the cable.

Adjusting the engine brake cable: Illustration 6-2 If you experience slack in the engine brake cable, this can be solved simply by tightening or loosening the bolt on the engine block.

Operation

Always check and refill oil before the start! Read and apply the instructions given in the enclosed start guide!
The oil level should always be between min. and max on the dipstick. Fill with SAE-30 oil. There should be total of 0.6-liter oil in the engine. Use only unleaded 95-octane fuel to the engine. Never overfill the tank.
Cutting height adjustment:
The mower has 5 different heights. The cutting height ranges from 25 mm to 75 mm
Start: Never start the mower directly on long grass.
Recoil with primer:

1. Push the primer several times, first time push 1-3 times, if necessary supplement with up to 3-5 times.
   Note: It is not possible to drown the engine.

2. Hold the handlebar for the engine brake; this will release the engine brake.

3. Pull the recoil starter gently until you feel resistance in the rope, then pull quickly and energetically. Do not at any time let go of the recoil starter but slide it gently into starting position.

4. Hold the bar for self-propelling in order to start mowing.
   Warning: Do not use on hills above 22°.

Note: As long as operating the mower, the bar for the engine brake must be engaged.
Stop: 1. Release the engine brake and self-propelled bar to turn off the mower and the engine
Note: The blades will still rotate at up to 3 seconds after stopping.
Mulching To get the optimal result from mulching, it is necessary to cut the grass 1-2 times per week, depending of, how fast the grass grows. The grass should be completely dry, or else it can clump and a maximum 2-3 cm of the length should be cut off every time.
Water nozzle: The left side of the mower deck is fitted with a water nozzle for washing the deck. (See Illustration 1-K)

• When using the water nozzle, the machine must be in the lowest height position and placed on the lawn. This ensures that the water remains under the deck during cleaning.
• Attach a hose to the nozzle.
• Turn on the water and start the engine.
• The rotations of the blades will ensure that the water will clean the underside of the deck.

Note: For best results clean the deck with the water nozzle function right after each mowing. If the grass dries out, this function will not work optimally.

Oil change

• Oil should be changed for the first time after 5 hours, then at least 1 time per year. You will need an oil extractor kit. Art. no. 40-11336
• The oil and oil extractor kit is not included.

Use an extractor kit and do as follows:

1. Turn on the engine and let it run for 5 min or until the engine is hot. A hot engine liquefies the oil which makes it easier to drain.
2. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the syringe that came with the oil extractor kit. Use the hose to reach the sump.
3. Transfer the used oil into an empty container.
4. Fill the engine with SAE-30 oil.
5. Check the oil level using the dipstick. (Min / Max).

Remember to dispose of the used oil so that it does no harm to nature. Use your local recycling station. Air Filter.

1. The air filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly. If the filter has not been cleaned for a long time, the engine’s power will drop.
2. Clean the air filter before removing the cap.
3. Push the two flaps down and gently pull the cover.
4. Carefully remove the paper filter and inspect it. Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, replace it. Be careful that no dirt gets into the inlet.
5. Wash the black foam element in the right side in warm water and soap.
6. Press the water out of the foam element and let it dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the filter to moisten it lightly. Carefully squeeze any surplus oil out of the foam element and reattach.
7. Please note that all parts are assembled correctly and properly closed, as shown in the picture.

Blade  

Inspection of the blade

• Tilt the mower with the front upwards.
• Inspect the blade for damage, cracks or excessive rust or corrosion.
• Check that the blade bolt is tightened.
  Note: A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be replaced.

Removing the blade:
If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you must use a torque wrench and some heavy gloves to protect your hands.

1. Loosen the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to prevent the blade from turning around.
2. Remove the bolt, washer, blade, and blade holder in that order
3. Sharpen or replace the blade.
4. Insert the blade holder, blade, washer, and bolt in that order.
5. Tighten the blade bolt with 50 Nm. Use a piece of wood to prevent the blade from turning around.

Warning: A blade must be sharpened so it is in
100 % balance, otherwise it may cause vibrations that could damage the engine. Damage to the engine due to faulty sharpening is not covered by warranty. We, therefore, recommend letting a service center sharpen the blade.
Spark plug

1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Brush off dirt from the spark plug.
3. Use a spark plug wrench to loosen the spark plug.
4. Check the insulation is intact.
5. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.
6. Measure the electrode, taking care not to damage the electrode.
7. The distance should be: 0.7 to 0.8 mm
8. If the spark plug is undamaged refit or replace. Art. no. 40-11294
9. Reattach the spark plug.

Storage and maintenance

Maintain your lawnmower: Check all bolts, screws, nuts, and deck. Dismount the blade and the belt plastic cover for regular cleaning. Always make sure that the blade is sharp. It’s a good idea to take your lawn mower to an annual service check with your authorized service dealer. See your nearest service center at
www.texas.dk.
Storage: After use the lawnmower is kept in a dry and clean room. Clean the machine after every use. Grass and dirt must be removed from the underside of the deck. By tipping the mower (for cleaning) is recommended to tilt the front up (max. 45 degrees). If you tilt it sideways, the carburetor and air filter always face upwards, since oil may run out and destroy the engine. Be aware that removing the spark plug before the mower maintenance.
Winter storage: Empty the fuel tank and let the engine run until the gasoline in the carburetor is used up. The spark plug was removed. Remove the spark plug and add a teaspoon of oil (engine oil) in the hole. Pull the starter to distribute oil. Mount the spark plug, but not the spark plug cap. Change oil as described in the section above. Spray silicone lubrication into the cables and move them.
Finally, clean the mower thoroughly. Dip a cloth in oil and lubricant metal parts to prevent rust.
