Frequently Asked Questions - GEPM 51 S B&S EINHELL

What type of oil to use for the engine?

Use a high quality 4-stroke engine oil (SAE 30 or 10W-30 depending on temperature). The level must be checked regularly via the dipstick. See the Briggs & Stratton manual for exact specifications.

How to start the lawn mower?

1. Check oil level and fill with gasoline. 2. Press the engine brake lever (work position). 3. Set the throttle to 'fast' (hare). 4. Pull the starting cord. 5. Release the engine brake to stop.

How to adjust the cutting height?

Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector. Pull the central adjustment lever (fig. 15/pos. 9) outward and select one of the 5 positions (30 to 75 mm). Release to engage.

What to do if the lawn mower vibrates heavily?

Possible causes: loose screws, improperly fixed or unbalanced blade. Stop the engine, cut the ignition, check the fastenings and the condition of the blade. Replace a damaged blade or have it balanced by a professional.

How to clean the lawn mower?

After each use, clean the underside of the deck with the included scraper. For vertical cleaning, empty the fuel tank, remove the spark plug connector, tip the mower to 90° (no more), and clean. Never use water or a pressure washer.

When and how to drain the oil?

Drain the oil after 5 hours of break-in, then each season or 50 hours. Run the engine to warm the oil, turn it off, remove the drain plug (tilt the mower on spark plug side) and collect the oil in a suitable container. Refill with new oil.

How to use the mulching function?

Remove the collection bag, insert the mulching adapter into the discharge opening and close the flap. Preferably mow short grass with a specific mulching blade (optional). The cut grass is shredded and redistributed.

What to do if the engine does not start?

Check: fuel tank full, engine brake lever pressed, throttle in 'fast' position, spark plug clean and connected, and fuel valve open (if present). If necessary, replace the spark plug.

How to replace the blade?

Disconnect the spark plug connector. Lock the blade with a wooden wedge. Unscrew the central bolt (fig. 20). Install the new blade (same mark) with the fins facing upward. Tighten to the recommended torque (see manual). Recheck after a few minutes of use.

How to store the lawn mower in winter?

Empty the fuel tank (use a suction pump). Run the engine until the fuel runs out. Clean the device, oil the cables. Fold down the handle (undo quick-release handles). Store in a dry and ventilated place, out of reach of children.

6. Before starting the equipment

6.1 Assembling the components

Some parts of the mower come disassembled. For quick and easy assembly, read and follow the instructions below.

Important! You will need the following additional tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for maintenance work:

A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)
A 1 liter measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)
A petrol can
A funnel (suitable for the tank's petrol filler neck)
Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue; dispose of these at a filling station)
A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from DIY stores)
An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY stores)

Assembling the pushbar (Fig. 3-6)

1. Mount the bottom push-bar (Item 5) using the quick release (Item 16) as shown in Fig. 4. Adjust the pre-tension of the quick release correctly by rotating the quick-release lever in the required direction: Clockwise rotation = tight fit; counterclockwise rotation = loose fit. Important! Adjust the pre-tension so that the quick-release lever can be pushed into the end position using light pressure.
2. Using the quick release (Item 16), mount the upper push-bar (Item 2) to the bottom push-bar, as shown in Fig. 4 and 5. Assemble the lug (Item 23) between the upper push-bar and the washer. Important! Adjust the correct pre-tension. See point 1.
3. Fit the starter cable (Item 4) into the lug.
4. Fasten the starter cable with the cable clips (Item 13) as shown in Fig. 6.

Adjusting the push-bar (Fig. 7)

Open the two quick releases (Item 16). Set the push-bar at one of the three (3) stop positions. Close the quick release.

Installing the collector basket (Fig. 8-9)

Assemble both halves of the collector basket, as shown in Fig. 8. Make sure that the two lugs of the upper half engage completely in the notches of the bottom half.

Insert the collector basket at the lawn mower as shown in Fig 9.

6.2 Setting the cutting height (Fig. 15-16)

Important! Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is switched off and the plug boot has been pulled.

Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this check, first switch off the engine and pull the spark plug boot.
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the cutting height adjustor lever (Fig. 15/Item 9). Up to 5 different cutting heights can be selected.
Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired position.
The adjusted cutting height is displayed at the cutting-height scale (Fig. 16).

7. Operation

Note:

For detailed information on starting the engine, refer to the enclosed manual from Briggs & Stratton.

Important.

The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the engine. You will also need to fill in petrol, as this is also not supplied upon delivery.

In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine brake (Fig. 10/Item 1) which must be pulled back before the engine can be started. When the engine control lever is released it must return to its initial position, at which point the engine automatically switches off.

GB

You can control the rotation speed of the blade using the speed lever (Fig. 14).

Before you start mowing, you should run through this operation several times in order to ensure that the machine is working properly.

Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjustment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait until the blade has come to a complete stop.

Always switch off the engine before carrying out any adjustments, maintenance or repairs.

Note:

1. Engine brake (Fig. 10/Item 1): Use the lever to stop the engine. When you release the lever the engine and the blade stop automatically (Fig. 10). To mow, hold the lever in the working position. Before you start to mow, check the start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is working properly. Ensure that the tension cable can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way).
2. Speed lever (Fig. 14): Move this lever in order to increase or decrease the engine speed. (Tortoise = Slow / Hare = Fast)
3. Drive lever (clutch lever) (Fig. 11/Item 19): If you press this (Fig. 11) the clutch for the drive will be closed and the lawnmower will start to move with the motor running. Release the drive lever in good time to stop the moving lawnmower. Practice starting and stopping before you use the mower for the first time until you are familiar with controlling the mower.
4. Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.

Important:

Before you start the engine, move the motor brake several times to be sure that the stop cable is properly working. Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is optimal for cutting and blowing grass into the basket and is designed to provide many years of use.

1. Check the oil level.
2. Fill the tank with petrol when it is empty, using a funnel and measuring vessel. Make sure that the petrol is clean.

Note: Use only unleaded petrol as fuel. Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool down for a few minutes.

Mulching

In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in the enclosed mower housing and then spread back onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dispose of the grass.

Important: Mulching is only possible if the lawn is relatively short. Optimum results can be achieved only with a mulching blade (available as an accessory).

To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris bag, slide the mulching adaptor into the ejector opening (Fig. 12/Item 22) and close the ejector opening.

Side ejector

You should fit the mulching adaptor (Item 22) in order to use the side ejector. Connect the side ejector adaptor (Fig. 13/Item 21) as shown in Figure 13.

Filling level indicator debris bag

The debris bag is equipped with a filling level indicator (Fig. 2/Item 6). This will be opened by the air current produced by the mower. If the flap falls during mowing, the debris bag is full and should be emptied. To ensure that the filling level indicator works properly, the holes under the flap must be kept clean and permeable.

7.1 Before mowing

Important information

1. Make sure that you are properly dressed when mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or damaged in any other way must be immediately exchanged for a genuine Einhell replacement blade.
3. Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4. Read and follow in the instructions in the operating manual as well as the information regarding the engine and accessory equipment. Store the manual in a place where it can be readily accessed by other users of the machine.
5. Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine out in the open.
6. Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that they are in good working order.
7. The machine should only be operated by persons who are well informed with the way it works, and who are in reasonably good physical condition.

GB

1. It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it is wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass when it is dry.

2. Advise children and others to keep well away from the lawn mower.

3. Never mow the grass in poor visibility.

4. Remove all loose objects from the lawn before you start mowing the grass.

7.2 Tips for proper mowing

Important! Never open the chute flap when the catch bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!

Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the grass basket.

Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained between the user and the mower housing. Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always mow along the incline (not up and down).

For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees. Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

7.3 Mowing

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.

Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the hill while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding out of the straight line. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it several times so that no more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.

Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been switched off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.

Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object,

immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount.

Replace any parts that are damaged.

Tips for proper mowing:

1. Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over anything that could damage the mower. The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.
2. A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts unless the mower has been switched off for a while and you know that they have cooled down!
3. Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.
4. Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of artificial light is one reason not to mow.
5. Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine vibrates more than usual.
6. Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
7. Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
8. Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind you (especially little children, who are more difficult to see).
9. When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed. Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug boot.
10. Never remove any safety-related parts.
11. Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.

GB

7.4 Emptying the grass basket

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass basket. Important! Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has come to a stop.

To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift up the chute flap and the other to grab onto the basket handle (Fig. 9). Remove the basket.

For safety reasons, the chute flap automatically falls down after removing the grass basket and closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if you pull the mower back approx. 1 meter.

Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.

In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings are picked up, the inside of both the catch bag and especially the air grill must be cleaned after each use.

Reattach the catch bag only when the engine is switched off and the blade is stopped.

Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the basket from the top.

7.5 After mowing

1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top of the mower.
3. Check all the screws and nuts once more before you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any loose screws.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on the warranty certificate).
8. If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an extended period, empty the petrol tank using a petrol suction pump.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower. It is not a toy.
10. Never place petrol near an ignition source. Always use a can that is approved to store

petrol. Keep petrol away from children.

1. Oil and maintain the machine.

8. Cleaning, maintenance, storage, transport and ordering of spare parts

Important: The enclosed engine manual from Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance information and maintenance interval information on the engine.

Important:

Never work on live parts of the ignition system or touch these parts while the engine is running. Before performing any maintenance or service work, be sure to disconnect the spark-plug connector (Fig 1/Item.

12) from the spark plug. Never perform any works to the running equipment.

Any works not specified in this operator manual should be performed only by an authorized service center.

8.1 Cleaning

After each use, the mower should be thoroughly cleaned (especially the underside and blade receptacle).

Note: Before tilting the lawn mower into the vertical cleaning position, be sure to drain the fuel tank completely with a gasoline draw-off pump.

The lawn mower must not be tilted by more than 90 degrees.

Vertical cleaning position (Fig. 17-19)

Important! Before tilting the lawn mower into the vertical cleaning position, be sure to switch off the engine and pull the spark-plug connector.

Important! Set the lawn mower down only on solid, level ground.

1. Open the quick-release lever (Item 15).
2. Push the bottom push-bar apart and unfold the push-bar (Fig. 18).
3. Place the lawn mower in the vertical cleaning position (Fig. 19). The push-bar rests flush on the ground.
4. Clean the lawn mower's underside using the cleaning scraper (Fig. 2/Item 18).

Important! Sharp blades! Wear gloves while cleaning the equipment.

The simplest time to remove dirt and grass is directly after mowing. Dried residual grass and dirt could cause damage to the mowing operation. Make sure the grass ejector canal is free from residual pieces of

GB

grass and remove these if necessary. Never clean the mower with a direct jet of water or a high pressure cleaner. The engine must stay dry. Aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaning solvent or petroleum ether must not be used.

Important!

-Only allow the lawn mower to remain in the vertical cleaning position for the time needed as this position poses a considerable risk of injury.
- Never leave the lawn mower unattended.
- Keep children away.

8.2 Maintenance

Important: The enclosed engine manual from Briggs & Stratton provides maintenance information and maintenance interval information on the engine.

Dispose of soiled maintenance material and media at the appropriate collection point

8.2.1 Wheel axles and wheel hubs

These should be lightly greased once a season. To do so, remove the wheel caps with a screwdriver and slacken the fastening screws on the wheels.

8.2.2 Blade

For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an authorized service workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.

Changing the blade (Fig. 20)

Only ever use original spare parts when having the blade replaced. The marking on the blade must be matched with the number given in the list of spare parts. Never have any other model of blade fitted.

Damaged blades

Should the blade, in spite of all precautions, come into contact with an obstruction, shut down the engine immediately and pull the spark plug boot. Tip the lawn mower onto its side and check the blade for damage. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced. Never attempt to bend a bent blade back to straight again. Never mow the lawn with a bent or heavily worn blade as this will cause vibrations and can lead to further damage to the lawn mower.

2. Our guarantee only covers problems caused by material or manufacturing defects, and it is restricted to the rectification of these defects or replacement of the device. Please note that our devices have not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Consequently, the guarantee is invalidated if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial applications or for other equivalent activities.

The original guarantee period remains applicable to the device even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fitted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or parts fitted. This also applies when an on-site service is used.
