Frequently Asked Questions - MS15042 SCHEPPACH

How to start the MS15042 lawn mower?
Check oil and fuel levels. Make sure the spark plug connector is connected. In cold weather, press the fuel primer bulb 3 times. Hold the engine brake lever against the handlebar and pull the starter cord sharply.
Which engine oil to use and how to check the level?
Use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 oil. Unscrew the dipstick, wipe it, reinsert without screwing, remove and read the level between min and max marks. Capacity is 0.4 L.
How to adjust the cutting height?
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug. Push the adjustment lever outward, move it to the desired position among the 7 levels (25 to 75 mm), then release to engage.
How to perform mulching?
Raise the ejection flap, remove the grass bag, then install the supplied mulching plug. Set an appropriate cutting height (cut max 2 cm on grass of 4-6 cm). The shredded grass will serve as fertilizer.
When and how to change the blade?
Drain the fuel tank. Wear gloves. Hold the blade and unscrew the bolt (counterclockwise) with a 17 mm wrench. Install the new blade, tighten to 45 Nm. Also replace the blade bolt.
What to do in case of strong vibrations or abnormal noise?
Stop the engine immediately. Check that all screws are tight, that the blade is not damaged or unbalanced. Replace the blade if necessary.
How to clean the lawn mower?
Use a low-pressure garden hose (no pressure washer). For deep cleaning, tilt the mower after draining the tank. Clean the underside with a spatula and brush. The water connection allows cleaning with the engine running.
How to prepare the lawn mower for winter?
Drain the fuel tank and oil. Disconnect the spark plug. Pour 0.2 L of oil into the cylinder and pull the starter slowly. Clean the cooling fins. Fold the handlebar and store in a dry, frost-free place.
What are the important safety instructions?
Wear sturdy shoes and long trousers. Keep children and pets away. Do not mow on slopes >15°. Stop the engine before any cleaning. Never refuel when the engine is hot. Use only outdoors.

WARNING

In case of extended working periods, the operating personnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.

Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).

If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working immediately and seek medical advice.

4 Namenska upotreba

Benzinska kosilica je pogodna za privatnu upotrebu u kućnim i hobi baštama. Kao kosilica za kućne i hobi bašte smatra se ona čija godišnja upotreba obično ne prelazi 50 sati i koja se uglavnom koristi za negu trave ili travnjaka, ali ne i u javnim objektima, parkovima, sportskim objekti-ma, kao ni u poljoprivredi i šumarstvu.

Proizvod sme da se koristi samo u svrhu za koju je namenjen. Svaka drugačija upotreba koja izlazi iz ovih okvira smatra se nenamenskom. Za oštećenja ili povrede svih vrsta koje nastanu usled toga, odgovara korisnik, a ne proizvođač.

U namensku upotrebu spada i poštovanje sigurnosnih napomena, kao i uputstva za montažu i instrukcija za upotrebu navedenih u priručniku za upotrebu.
