General Operating Hints for mulching

For mulching, grass should neither be too wet noor to long. For best mulching results set the central height adjuster to a cutting height of 4cm or higher. during maximum growth periods it is also recommended to mulch the lawn twice per week. Your walking speed should be adjustet to the mowing conditions. Do not walk or drive too quickly. This will allow the mulching blade to finely shred all grass clippings and ensure an excellent finish. As with all mowing jobs, a sharp cutting blade is required for mulching. The special mulching blade with 4 offset cutting edges cuts the grass progressively. With the housing insert obstructing the normal grass discharge, the clippings are finally shredded and blown back into the lawn to decompose completely between grass roots. Once the special mulching blade is fitted to the mower, there is no need to refered back to the original cutter blade for mowing with catcher. It is, however, necessary to remove the mower housing insert. With the mulching blade, grass clippings and leaves are reduced in volume and are more suitable for composting (III.15).

Adjustment of Cutting Height

The mowing height can be adjusted from approx. 30 - 80 mm with a central height adjuster (pos. 16). The adjustment is simultaneously for all 4 wheels. Turning the adjuster to the left reduces the cutting height, turning the adjuster to the right increases the cutting height. An indicator (pos. 11) shows the cutting height. Note: Select a cutting height which will not scalp the lawn in uneven areas. Use the lowest setting only on level surfaces.

Engine

SOLO 585-H - Engine - 1

SOLO 585-H - Stopping engine - 1

Mowing Hints

SOLO 585-H - Mowing Hints - 1

Always observe the safety notes provided at the start of the manual.

Mowing with Grass Catcher

Short and dry grass is easily caught in the catcher (pos. 6). A special fan on the underside of the mower provides a turbo-effect for excellent catching properties of the mower (see picture 14B).

Please note:

Shorter, dry grass is easier to catch than long, wet grass which may lead to clogging under certain circumstances.

Quality of Cut

Height of grass, density and dampness determine the quality of the cut. Dry and not excessively long grass are ideal for a clean cut. Even wet grass can be mown and collected. This may, however, affect the quality of the cut and the ability of the mower to catch the clippings. A sharp mowing blade is a prerequisite for an excellent cut. A blunt blade (which will tear and not cut the grass will turn the lawn yellow) has to be sharpened (see separate section). Mow at a leisurely walking pace and in straight lines with slight overlaps. This will give the cleanest cut.

When cutting long grass, go over the lawn first with a high blade setting and then again across that direction with a lower setting (see picture 10).

Lawn Care

Note: If the full engine power is not required, we suggest you set the engine regulating lever to the Eco-position between max. and min. This will reduce the engine speed, lower the fuel consumption and reduce the emission of harmful substances. (see fig. 9). If possible, only mow when the lawn is dry and the surface is firm. The mower wheels will leave behind tracks on a soft surface.

The more often the grass is cut (preferable weekly), the better and more even is the cut.

Regular cutting strengthens the grass.

Clippings to 1cm length can be left on the lawn. Longer clippings should be collected.

In spring, use the mower with catcher approx. 2 - 3 weeks before normal growth starts. This will clean the lawn area. The cut should reduce the grass by approx.

1.5cm only to achieve a rapid greening. Before mowing, always check the lawn for objects such as rocks, glass, metal objects etc.

The first cut of a new lawn should be at a height of approx. 3 - 4 cm. Maintain that height for approx. 4 - 5 weeks. This will ensure stronger root growth and good density of the lawn. Grass will resist dry periods and hot weather more easily if not cut too short.

Note: SOLO Mowers with rear catcher are particularly suitable for collecting autumn leaves. Only collect

leaves on lawn areas. Using the mower for that purpose on paths etc. is not recommended because of safety risks. When collecting leaves on the lawn, set the cutting height to maximum height. (pos. 11).

Maintenance and Care

SOLO 585-H - Maintenance and Care - 1

For your own safety, always disconnect spark plug cap (pos. 12) before commencing any cleaning or maintenance jobs on the mower. Any tasks which exceed the general maintenance schedule should be performed by an authorized SOLO Service Centre.

Cleaning of Mower

The mower should be cleaned after every mowing, especially the underside of the mower housing, the blade and the wind tunnel.

For cleaning, the mower can be placed on the rear wheels (after removing the star knobs-picture 11) and supported by the lower handle. Empty the fuel tank first. Possible fuel dripping from the carburetor should be caught with a rag. Also refer to notes in this regard in the separate engine manual. Always disconnect the plug cap first. (pos. 12)

Dirt and grass residues can be easily removed straight after mowing. Grass residues and dirt on the underside of the mower impair the discharge of clippings and influence the quality of the cut. A dirty blade can lead to imbalance and vibration. Also ensure the fan on the underside of the mower is free from any residue.

Do not use a water jet or pressure cleaner to hose down the mower. The engine should remain dry. All other parts should be wiped with a rag. Do not use solvents, thinners or any other aggressive cleaning materials.

Wheel axles and wheel hubs

Should be lightly greased after every 25 hours of use or at least once every year. Remove wheel cap, screw and pull off wheel. Remember the sequence of the parts for the correct assembly later.

Blade

SOLO 585-H - Blade - 1

Special tools, such as a torque spanner, are required for the correct fitting of a blade. For safety reasons, we recommend to have

the blade balanced, sharpened, replaced and fitted only by an authorized service center. The following notes are directed only at service centers.

Replacing the blade

SOLO 585-H - Replacing the blade - 1

Disconnect the spark plug cap to change the blade and wear safety gloves. Only use original SOLO Spare Parts. The part number of the mowing blade should correspond with the part number quoted in the parts list. Never install a non-original blade.

Use a pin to block the movement of the blade (picture 14A). The blade screw has a standard RH thread. To undo the blade screw, use a 21mm socket or a spark plug spanner or an allen key 8mm, 5/16". Ensure the friction clutch system is fitted in the correct sequence (picture 14). Tighten the blade screw with a torque wrench at 45 Nm (4.5 mkp).

Damaged Blades

If, despite all care and precaution, the blade hits an object, stop the engine and disconnect cap from spark plug/. Ensure the blade stopped spinning and tilt the mower to the side. Inspect the blade and mower for any damage (picture 11). Deformed and bent blades should not be straightened.

Replace all damaged parts. After hitting an obstacle, the mower should be checked by an authorized workshop. Before using a mower, always check the blade is not damaged and is tight. If required, replace the blade and have the mower checked. Never operate the mower with a damaged blade. This will cause vibration and lead to further damage.

Blade Sharpening

SOLO 585-H - Blade Sharpening - 1

The cutting edge can be re-sharpened with a metal file. However, it is recommended that

any re-sharpening work is done by a service center. Experts will ensure the blade is sharpened evenly and balanced properly. Do not sharpen the blade beyond the stamped mark on the flade (see picture 14).

Oil level check

SOLO 585-H - Oil level check - 1

Caution: Engine oil influences the performance and life expectancy of the engine. Never run the engine without or without sufficient oil. This may lead to severe engine damage. Choose the required oil viscosity according to air temperature and altitude. Refer to the specific section in the engine manual.

Checking of oil level:

  1. Place the mower on even ground
  2. Unscrew oil filler cap (pos. 14) and wipe dipstick.
  3. Place dipstick back into filler pipe.
  4. Remove dipstick, hold horizontally and read oil level which has to be between "max." and "min." markings.

max min

Changing oil (Briggs + Stratton 4-cycle engines)

The engine may be drained via the oil drain screw (pos.10) or the oil filler opening. To reach the drain screw, both blade and fan wheel have to be removed (picture 14B). Observe the maintenance guidelines in the separate engine manual.

SOLO 585-H - Changing oil (Briggs + Stratton 4-cycle engines) - 1

On HONDA OHC engines, the oil should be changed by authorized service centers only.

When draining via the oil filler opening (pos. 10), tilt the mower -with empty fuel tank and with warm engine- slowly to the side while the filler cap is still tightly in place. Wait a few minutes. Then remove the filler cap and collect the old oil in a suitable container. Dispose of the use oil according to local regulations or take to a re-cycling place.

SOLO 585-H - Changing oil (Briggs + Stratton 4-cycle engines) - 2

After the oil change, wash hands with soap and water.

Maintenance of Air Filter

A dirty air filter (pos. 10) reduces engine efficiency by restricting free air flow to the carburetor. Frequent checking and cleaning, especially in dusty and dirty conditions, is a necessity.

SOLO 585-H - Maintenance of Air Filter - 1

Caution: Never clean air filter in petrol or with flammable liquids. This may lead to fire or explosion. Also refer to the separate section in the engine manual.

Workshop service, replacement parts and guarantee

Maintenance and repair: Maintenance and repair of modern motorized devices, as well as their safety-relevant assemblies, require qualified, specialized training and a workshop equipped with special tools and test devices.

Thus SOLO recommends that you have a specialized SOLO workshop carry out all work that is not described in these operating instructions. Your SOLO specialist has the required training, experience, and equipment at his disposal to provide you with the most cost-effective solution and can help you in many ways with advice and service.

Replacement parts: Dependable operation and the safety of your device also depend on the quality of the replacement parts that you use. Use only original SOLO replacement parts.

Only original parts come from the production of the device and thus guarantee the highest possible material quality, dimensional accuracy, function, and safety. Original replacement parts and accessory parts are available from your dealer. He also maintains the requisite replacement part lists to determine the required replacement part numbers, and he is constantly provided with information concerning detail improvements and innovations in the replacement part offering.

Please note as well that guarantee performances from SOLO are not possible if parts other than SOLO original parts are used.

Guarantee: SOLO guarantees problem-free quality and will assume the costs for defect remediation by replacing the defective parts in the case of material or manufacturing defects that occur within the guarantee period after the date of purchase.

Please note that specific guarantee conditions apply in some countries. Ask your sales person if you have any questions. As vendor of the products he is responsible for the guarantee.

We request your understanding that no guarantee can be assumed for damages due to the following:

- Non-compliance with the operating instructions. • Neglecting required maintenance and repair work. • Damages due to improper carburetor adjustment. • Normal wear and tear. • Obvious overload through persistently exceeding the upper performance limits. • Using non-approved tools and cutting fixtures. • Using non-approved cutting bar and chain lengths in the case of chain saws. • The use of force, improper handling, misuse, or accident. • Damages caused by overheating due to dirt build up on the ventilator casing. • Intervention by non-specialized persons, or improper repair attempts. • The use of unsuitable replacement parts or parts other than SOLO original parts to the extent that they cause damage. • Using unsuitable fuel or fuel that has been stored too long. • Damages that can be traced to implementation conditions from the rental business.

Cleaning, care, and adjustment work are not recognized as guarantee performances. All guarantee work must be carried out by a SOLO dealer.

In the best interest of continued technological progress we reserve the right to change design and configuration of any product without prior or other notice. Therefore, please note that text and illustrations of this manual are not to be considered binding and do not constitute a basis for legal or other claims.
