Frequently Asked Questions - Classic 4.64 SPB Plus AL-KO

How to start the AL-KO Classic 4.64 SPB Plus lawn mower?

Make sure the tank contains gasoline and the engine oil is at the proper level. Press the safety bar towards the handlebar and hold it. For manual starting, pull the starter rope sharply. If your model is equipped with electric start, turn the key after holding the safety bar. Refer to the manual for models with choke or primer.

How to adjust the cutting height on the mower?

The centralized adjustment is done by holding the adjustment button pressed and pushing the handle downwards for a shorter cut or upwards for a longer cut. Make sure all wheels are at the same height. Never adjust the cutting height when the engine is running.

What to do if the engine does not start?

Check the gasoline level, the spark plug, the air filter and that the safety bar is correctly held. For models with choke, set it to the appropriate position. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting table in the manual or contact after-sales service.

How to use the mulching kit?

Mulching allows finely chopping the grass and leaving it on the spot. To use the kit, remove the collection bag, lift the deflector flap and insert the mulching kit until it clicks into place. The grass height before mulching must not exceed 8 cm and after mulching at least 4 cm.

How to maintain the mower blade?

Before any intervention, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug. Wear gloves. Have the blade sharpened or replaced by an authorized specialist service to avoid any imbalance. Regularly check that the blade is not damaged.

What type of gasoline and oil to use?

Use regular unleaded gasoline. For engine oil, refer to the engine manufacturer's instructions. The oil quantity is approximately 0.6 liters. Never refuel while the engine is running or hot.

How to activate the wheel drive?

The wheel drive (optional) is activated by pulling the switching lever towards the upper handlebar and holding it. Release the lever to stop it. Only operate the drive when the engine is running. If the drive does not work, adjust the Bowden cable or consult a specialist.

How to store the mower during winter?

Drain the gasoline tank, let the engine cool down, clean the device and store it in a dry place protected from frost. Fold the handlebar for compact storage. If equipped with a starter battery, recharge it periodically.

What to do if the mower vibrates abnormally?

Abnormal vibrations are often due to an unbalanced or damaged blade. Stop the engine immediately, disconnect the spark plug and check the blade condition. Have it replaced or rebalanced by a professional.

How to clean the mower?

Clean the mower after each use with a cloth or brush. Do not use pressurized water as it could damage the engine or electrical components. Clean the collection bag and discharge chute regularly.

Mulching with the mulching kit (option)

With mulching, the cuttings are not collected and remain on the grass. The mulch protects the ground from drying out and provides it with nutrients.

The best results are achieved by regular cutting of approx. 2 cm. Only young grass with soft blades will decompose quickly.
