Stop: Illustration F4

  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.

Water nozzle

The left side of the mower deck is fitted with a water nozzle for washing the deck. (See Illustration ID-F)

  • 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.

If above instruction is not followed, water may splash back on the gearbox and clutch cable, which increases the risk of corrosion and damage to both parts. This will not be covered by the warranty!

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

  • Note: Not all models have water nozzle

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 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 a empty container.
  4. Fill the engine with SAE-30 oil.
  5. Check the oil level using the dipstick. (Min / Max)

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

Air Filter

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.

See Illustration A2

  1. Clean around the air filter before removing the cap.
  2. Push the two flaps down and gently pull the cover
  3. 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.
  4. Wash the black foam element in the right side in warm water and soap.
  5. 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.
  6. 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 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: See illustration A3
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 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 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. Spark plug 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 luricate metal parts to prevent rust.

Cleaning and lubricating of rachet wheels:
See illustration A5
Cleaning and lubricating of all rachet wheels should be done minimum once per year to ensure longer durability. If no maintenance is performed, the warranty will not cover these parts.

Follow below procedure (for both rear wheels)*:

  1. Remove the wheel covers
  2. Unscrew the nut with a 13 mm wrench
  3. Pull of the washer and the wheel
  4. Remove the retainer ring with a suitable tool and the rachet wheel
  5. Clean shaft/rachet wheel for old grease and dirt.
  6. Lubricate with suitable grease (e.g. EP-0)
  7. Mount the wheel and wheel cover again
  • Only apply for self-propelled models.
