Essential instructions for assembling the mower
Before assembling and operating the petrol lawnmower, please read the full user manual and the instructions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The lawnmower is supplied WITHOUT FUEL AND OIL in the engine. Your new lawnmower has been tested in the production facility, i.e. there may be a small amount of residual oil in the engine or visible on the dipstick!

Mounting material supplied:

Fill with oil and petrol

ATTENTION: The mower is delivered without oil in the engine.

All engines are tested at the factory before packing. Most of the oil is removed before shipping; however, a small amount remains in the engine. During transport, the oil moves around in the engine compartment. Therefore, you may see a sufficient amount of oil indicated on the dipstick. However, this is not the case!
The oil tank holds a total of 0.5 litres of engine oil. The petrol tank holds 2.5 litres of petrol.

– Remove the fuel filler cap
– Fill with fuel up to the lower edge of the fill level limit in the neck of the fuel tank. Do not overfill. Wipe up any spilt fuel before starting the engine.
– Tighten the fuel filler cap.

Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapours can explode and cause serious injury or death. Be extremely careful when handling petrol. Keep it out of the reach of children. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine switched off. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refuelled or where petrol is stored. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with the skin or inhalation of vapours. Tighten the fuel filler cap firmly after refuelling. If fuel has been spilt, ensure that the area is dry before starting the engine.

6. Maintenance work

General maintenance instructions:
All nuts, bolts and screws must be properly tightened to ensure that the device is safe and operational. Regular maintenance is essential for the user’s safety, maintaining the operating condition and performance of the mower.
Never store a device with petrol in the tank in a building where the fumes could come into contact with open fire, sparks or high temperatures.
Allow the engine to cool down before storing it in an enclosed space.
To reduce the risk of fire, ensure that the lawnmower, especially the engine, the muffler and where the replacement fuel is stored, are free from grass, leaves or excessive amounts of lubricants. Regularly check the condition of the collector cover and the grass collector and replace them if damaged.
Drain the fuel in a well-ventilated area when the engine has cooled down.
Use thick work gloves when removing and installing the cutting blade.

ATTENTION:

Before doing maintenance or repair work, switch off the engine and remove the spark plug.
Check the mower regularly and ensure that all grass deposits on the underside of the chassis are removed.
Lubricate the axle of the chassis and the bearings regularly with a suitable lubricant.
Regularly check the condition of the blades, as they have a significant impact on the performance of the lawnmower. The blades should always be sharp and balanced.
Check at regular intervals that all bolts and nuts are tight. Worn or incorrectly tightened bolts and nuts can cause severe damage to the engine or frame.
If the blade hits an obstacle hard, stop the lawnmower and contact FUXTEC Customer Service.
The cutting blade is made of pressed steel. For optimum mowing results, sharpen the blade regularly, approximately every 25 operating hours. Check that the blade is always properly balanced. To do this, insert a steel axle (with a diameter of 2-3 mm) into the centre hole. If the axle is aligned correctly, it will stay in the horizontal position.

If the knife does not stay in the horizontal position, replace it.

When removing the knife, unscrew the bolt and check the knife holder. If the parts are worn or damaged, replace them.

ATTENTION:
Always use original spare parts. Low-quality spare parts can seriously damage the lawnmower and pose a safety risk.

6. Use easy clean function

On the left-hand side of the mower deck, you will find a water connection for washing the mower deck.
If you use the water connection, the machine must be in the lowest height position on the lawn. This ensures that the water remains under the mower deck during cleaning.
