Frequently Asked Questions - GAR 1070 T Hydrostat GUDE

How to start the Güde GAR 1070 T Hydrostat lawn mower?

Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, insert the key and turn it to start position. Make sure the blades are disengaged and the transmission is in neutral.

What engine oil to use and how to change it?

Use quality SAE 10W-30 oil. To drain, run the engine for a few minutes, turn it off, remove the drain plug under the engine and collect the used oil in a suitable container.

How to adjust the cutting height?

The cutting height is adjusted using a single central lever. Push or pull it to select one of the preset positions, typically from 25 to 90 mm.

What to do if the mower does not start?

Check the fuel level, spark plug and battery condition. Make sure the parking brake is engaged and the blades are disengaged. Consult the manual for detailed troubleshooting.

How to change the blade?

Disconnect the spark plug. Tilt the mower on its side (carburetor upward). Remove the center bolt of the blade with a wrench, replace the blade, and tighten firmly.

What type of fuel to use?

Use unleaded petrol (octane 95 minimum). Do not mix oil as the engine is 4-stroke. Avoid petrol containing more than 10% ethanol.

How to clean the mower after use?

Use a low-pressure water jet to remove grass from under the deck. Avoid directing water at the engine and electrical components. Then dry with a cloth.

What winter maintenance is recommended?

Drain the fuel tank or add a stabilizer. Change the oil, clean the mower, grease pivoting points and store in a dry place.

How to adjust the travel speed?

The hydrostatic transmission allows smooth speed variation. Press the forward or reverse pedal; the more you press, the higher the speed.

What to do if traction is reduced or the mower jerks forward?

Check the transmission belt, hydrostatic oil level and tire condition. Consult the manual for hydrostatic circuit bleeding procedures.

Wear personal protective equipment. Wear suitable protective clothing such as sturdy shoes with non-slip sole, robust long trousers, gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection! Wear protective gloves if necessary.

Use the appliance in broad daylight or in a well-lit environment. Poor lighting/light conditions represent a high safety risk.

Fuel is highly flammable.

Keep the fuel in suitable containers only.

Emergency procedure

Make sure the fuel does not overflow. If the fuel overflows, the engine must not be started. Remove any dirt from the appliance and prevent any attempt at ignition until fuel fumes have evaporated.

In the tank pressure may develop. Loosen the tank cap slowly to allow this pressure to gradually decrease.

To reduce fire risks, periodically clean the cylinder flaps with compressed air and clear the silencer area to get rid of sawdust, branches, leaves or other debris.

Regularly remove all lawn and weed residues to prevent the shaft tube from overheating. Lawn/grass/weed residues become caught underneath the protective shield, thereby preventing sufficient cooling of the shaft tube. Carefully remove the remains with a sweeping broom or similar.

The engine must be filled with engine oil before the initial commissioning.

Check the oil level every time before commissioning. Fill with engine oil if required.

Always inspect the machine before use to ensure that the rollers and screws are not blunt, worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged rollers and screws to ensure that the machine remains balanced.
