Frequently Asked Questions - GBM 970 GUDE
How do I start the GUDE GBM 970 lawn mower?
Check the fuel tank and oil level, then press the primer bulb five times. Set the throttle to start position and pull the recoil starter handle firmly. Once the engine runs, adjust the throttle to normal mowing speed.
What type of fuel should I use?
Use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95 RON. Do not mix oil with petrol for a 4-stroke engine. Use the fuel tank cap to allow proper ventilation.
How often should I change the engine oil?
Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation and then every 25 hours or as recommended in the manual. Warm up the engine, drain old oil, and fill with SAE 30 oil.
Why won't my lawn mower start?
Check if the spark plug is dirty or worn, if the air filter is clogged, or if there is stale fuel in the tank. Ensure the engine brake is engaged correctly and the blade control is in the 'on' position.
How do I adjust the cutting height?
Use the central cutting height lever. Pull the lever outward and move it to one of the 6 positions (approximately 25-75 mm) to achieve the desired cutting height. Make sure the lever clicks into place.
How to store the mower for winter?
Drain the fuel tank completely, run the engine until it stops to empty the carburetor, and change the engine oil. Clean the mower, lubricate moving parts, and store it in a dry place with the handle folded.
What safety precautions should I take when mowing?
Always wear protective goggles and ear defenders. Do not mow while people are near, especially children. Ensure the mulching plug or grass bag is properly attached. Never mow on slopes with an inclination above 20 degrees.
How to clean the mower?
Disconnect the spark plug and tip the mower to expose the underside. Use a water hose to rinse away grass clippings. Clean the air filter with compressed air and wipe the outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
Where can I get spare parts?
Genuine spare parts are available from GUDE certified service centers. Order online via the official GUDE website or contact your local dealer. Always use original blade and engine parts.
Can I mulch with this mower?
Yes, the mower supports mulching when fitted with a mulching plug (sold separately). The plug closes the discharge chute, allowing the grass to be cut into fine pieces and returned to the lawn as natural fertilizer.
