Frequently Asked Questions - FX-RM4180 Fuxtec

What type of fuel should I use for the Fuxtec FX-RM4180 lawn mower?

Use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 98 (SP98 recommended). Never use petrol containing alcohol or ethanol additives, as they can damage the fuel system.

How to start the engine when cold?

Press the primer bulb 2 to 3 times to bring fuel into the carburetor. Pull the start/brake lever towards the handle and hold it, then pull the starter rope. The engine should start after 3-4 pulls.

How to adjust the cutting height?

The cutting height is adjusted by moving the wheels to three positions: 25 mm, 40 mm and 55 mm. For each wheel, remove the set screw, choose the hole corresponding to the desired height and retighten. Make sure all four wheels are at the same height.

What engine oil to use and how to check it?

Use SAE30 or 15W-40 engine oil. Before each use, check the level with the dipstick: it should be between the MIN and MAX marks. The total capacity is about 0.6 L. Do not exceed the MAX level.

How often should the engine oil be changed?

Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25 hours. To drain, remove the drain plug (from the fill opening), tilt the mower on its side and collect the used oil in a suitable container.

How to maintain the cutting blade?

The blade should be sharpened every 25 hours or so. Use a flat file respecting the cutting edge angle. Check the blade balance by placing it on a fine shaft: if it stays horizontal, it is balanced. Replace it if damaged or unbalanced.

What to do if the mower vibrates abnormally?

Stop the engine immediately and check if the blade is damaged or unbalanced, if screws are loose, or if grass has accumulated under the deck. Clean the underside of the chassis and retighten all fasteners. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to store the mower in winter or for a long period?

Empty the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until it stops to purge the carburetor. Remove the spark plug, pour a small spoonful of engine oil into the cylinder and pull the starter rope slowly to lubricate. Clean the mower and store it in a dry, frost-free place.

How to replace the cutting blade?

Before any intervention, turn off the engine and remove the spark plug. Drain the engine oil to avoid leaks. Unscrew the central blade screw (tightening torque 40 Nm). Replace the blade and the fixing screw (always new). Tighten to the specified torque. We recommend calling a specialized workshop.

What are the essential safety features?

The mower is equipped with a start/brake lever that stops the engine as soon as it is released. Never use the mower without the protective cover or with the blade detached. Always wear closed-toe shoes, gloves and hearing protection. Keep children and pets at a distance (15 m minimum).

Prolonged use of the device exposes the user to shocks that can lead to white finger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the hand's ability to sense and regulate temperature, causes numbness and heat

sensations, and can lead to nerve and circulatory damage and tissue death.

Not all factors leading to white finger disease are known. Still, cold weather, smoking, and other conditions affecting the blood vessels and blood circulation, as well as extensive or prolonged exposure to shocks, are mentioned as factors in the development of white finger disease. To reduce the risk of white finger disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the following

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Take regular breaks.

All the above precautions cannot eliminate the risk of white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are, therefore, advised to monitor the condition of their hands and fingers closely. Consult a doctor immediately if any of the above symptoms occur.

The operating noise of the tool may damage your hearing. Wear a sound-proofing (Oropax or ear muffs) to protect it. Long-term and regular users are recommended to check their hearing regularly. Be especially vigilant and careful when wearing hearing protection, as it limits your ability to hear warnings (cries, alarms, etc.).

WARNING: Some noise exposure from this device is unavoidable. Do not work in noisy environments during approved and designated times. If necessary, observe rest periods and limit the duration of work to the minimum required. Wear suitable hearing protection for your personal protection and the protection of persons in the vicinity.

• Clean the device thoroughly, especially the fuel tank and air filter. After using the device, remove all fuel.
• If you approach a user of the device as a spectator, carefully attract his attention and confirm that the user will stop the device. Please do not startle or distract the user. Otherwise, you could cause an unsafe situation.
• Never touch the nylon cutting head or metal blade when the device is running. If it is necessary to replace the guard or cutting tool, be sure that the engine and cutting tools have stopped.
• The engine must be OFF before you change the device's working range.
• If necessary, have the device repaired by an authorized workshop. If the device is defective, do not continue to run it.
• Never touch hot parts such as the exhaust, ignition cables, or spark plug when starting or operating the device.
• After the device has stopped, the exhaust pipe is still hot. Never place the device near inflammable materials (dry grass, flammable gases or liquids, etc.).
• Pay particular attention to the fact that the ground can be slippery when operating the device in or immediately after the rain.
• If you slip or fall to the ground, release the throttle immediately.
• Before removing the blockage, stop the device and remove the spark plug connector. Before adjusting or repairing the device, ensure the device is stopped and the spark plug socket is removed.
• Ensure that you do not drop the device or hit it against obstacles.
• If the device is to be stored for a more extended period, let the device cool down first. Then drain the fuel from the fuel tank and carburettor, clean the device and place it in a safe place.
• Carry out constant checks to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the device. For a complete inspection, please get in touch with us.
• Keep the device away from fire or sparks.
• Be careful when using the device. There is a risk of kick-back and recoil.
• Use extreme caution when using this device with the cutting blade. A cutting blade kick-back is a reaction that can occur when the rotating cutting blade hits an object that cannot be cut. This contact causes the cutting blade to stop for a moment and then suddenly repels from the hit object with accelerated force. This kick-back reaction can be severe enough that the operator loses control of the device. A cutter blade kick-back can occur without warning if the cutter blade encounters an obstacle that becomes blocked or jams. This is more likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For easy and safe cutting,

approach the weeds to be cut from your right to your left side. If an object or stick of wood is hit unexpectedly, this can reduce a cutter blade kick-back.

25. Notes on working with the metal blade

A metal blade with 3 teeth is delivered with the device. It is used for cutting bushes and weeds. The use of a saw blade with this device is prohibited.

WARNING

Do not cut with blunt, cracked or damaged metal sheets.

Before working, check the surface for obstacles such as stones, metal bars or other objects. If they cannot be removed,

mark this position to avoid collision with the

blade. Lines can become entangled on the blade head and flap or be swirled in the air.

WARNING

Do not use the motor scythe for cutting out trees.

WARNING

Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust and fix the belt and belt clamping plate on the device so that the device hangs a few cm above

the ground. The cut-out head and the protective shield should be aligned horizontally in all directions. Pre-tension the devices on the right side of your body.

WARNING

Also, wear head, eye, face and hearing protection and safety shoes. Do not wear rings, jewellery or

loose, dangling clothes that could get caught in the device.

Do not wear footwear with unprotected toes, and do not work

barefoot or without leg protection. In certain situations, you

must wear head protection.

26. Putting on the shoulder harness

FUEL AND 2-STROKE OIL

Use unleaded petrol with 2-stroke engine oil in a 40:1 ratio.

WARNING: Never use just fuel in your engine. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer's warranty for this product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 90 days.

WARNING: This must be a premium grade, 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil.

FUEL MIXTURE

Mix fuel with 2-stroke oil in a container provided for this purpose. Note the following mixture table on the following page for the correct fuel/oil ratio. Shake the tank to ensure complete mixing.

Petrol	Two-stroke engine oil (40:1)	Petrol	Two-stroke engine oil (40:1)
1 litre	0.025 litre	5 litre	0.125 litre
2 litre	0.050 litre	10 litre	0.250 litre

WARNING: Failure to lubricate the engine eliminates the liability of the device manufacturer. Petrol and oil must be mixed in a ratio of 40:1.

Recommended fuel

It is recommended to use unleaded petrol with an octane number of 90 # or higher to reduce carbon deposition in the combustion chamber. Do not use old or dirty petrol. Keep the fuel tank dust-free and avoid water getting into the tank. Sometimes misfiring can occur in case of overload, which is normal.

If the backfiring can be heard under average load, we recommend replacing the petrol. If the misfire is still present afterwards, don't hesitate to contact our customer service.

WARNING

Fuel filler cap max, filling level

● Petrol is highly flammable and can cause an explosion in case of sparks
- Refuel only in well-ventilated rooms and allow the engine to cool down before filling. Do not smoke during refuelling. Open fires and sparks must be avoided.
- Do not overfill the tank (see figure max. filling level).
● After refuelling, check that the fuel filler cap is closed correctly.
- Avoid any spillage of petrol.
- Keep the device away from children.

29. Starting the engine

Cold Start

CAUTION: The scythe head starts to rotate when the engine is started.

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline and tighten the cap.
2. Place the machine on a flat, firm surface. Keep the mower attachment off the ground and away from surrounding objects, as it will start to rotate when the engine is started.
3. Press the primer pump several times.

1. Starter handle: set the on/off switch to 1

2. Hold the device and carefully pull out the starter rope until you feel the first resistance. This is the starting position for the pull starter. Now pull the rope several times until the engine starts and runs.

Avoid pulling the rope to the end or letting it recoil by releasing the handle. Such actions may cause the starter to fail.

IMPORTANT: The device is equipped with a centrifugal clutch so that the cutting tool starts moving as soon as the engine is put into the start position by operating the throttle. When starting the engine, place the product on the ground in a level, clear area and hold it firmly so that neither the cutting part nor the throttle lever can come into contact with any obstacle when starting the engine.

Diagram of a mechanical device with a curved spring and lever, positioned on a textured surface with directional arrows below (no text or symbols)

1. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes at idle after starting before starting work!

NOTE: If the machine does not start after repeated attempts, please read the troubleshooting chapter. NOTE: Always pull the starter rope straight out. Pulling the starter at an angle will cause the rope to rub against the eyelet. The diagonal pull can cause the starter rope to fray or break. Always hold the starter handle when the rope retracts. Never allow the rope to be thrown back from the pulled-out position. This could damage the starter device.

Warm start of the engine

1. Place the device on a firm and flat surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF to 1.
3. Slide the choke to the "OPEN" position.
4. Pull out the starter rope with a short-stroke until resistance is felt (about 100mm). A continuous, mainly fast pull will provide a strong spark and start the engine.

If the engine does not start, please proceed again according to "Cold starting the engine."

30. Stopping the device

Unlock the throttle lever. Allow the device to return to idle. Press the engine stop switch on the handle (position 0) and wait until the machine stops. If it does not stop, disconnect the spark plug connector in an emergency. Never leave the device unattended while it is running.

31. Trimming techniques

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before running your device, read notes in chapters 3 and 4 of this manual.

CAUTION

IF YOU are NOT familiar with the trimming techniques, practice with the DEVICE in the "STOP" position (turned off).

ALWAYS TRIM OR CUT AT HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS. Never run the device slowly at the beginning of (or during) the trimming operation.

ALWAYS MAKE AWAY DISTANCE IN THE WORKING AREA from cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Whirling objects can cause serious injury to users or bystanders and damage the device. If an object is accidentally knocked, immediately stop the ENGINE and check the device. Never run the device with damaged or defective parts.

Never lift the nylon cutting head above knee height during operation.

Never run the device on a slope if there is a chance of sliding or losing stability.

RELEASING THE NYLON THREAD

To release the new thread, run the engine at full throttle and tap the nylon cutting head onto the lawn. The threaded head automatically releases further threads. The blade in the protective shield cuts off the excess thread.

CAUTION: Remove grass deposits regularly to prevent overheating of the drive axle. Grass deposits occur when fibres of the weed are entangled around the shaft under the protective shield. This prevents the shaft from cooling correctly. Remove grass

deposits with a screwdriver or similar tool only when the device is switched off.

When the device is appropriately equipped with a protective shield and nylon cutting head, your device will trim unsightly weeds and large-diameter tall grass in areas along fences, walls, land, and around trees.

NOTE: Pay particular attention when trimming on brick or stone walls, etc., where rapid weed wear will occur.

Swing the trimmer's nylon cutting head horizontally from side to side. Do not tilt the nylon cutting head while working. For correct cutting height, trim in a test area beforehand. Keep nylon cutting head at the same level for even depth of cut.

TRIMMING AROUND TREES

Trim around logs with a slow approach; the thread should

not collide with the log. Walk around the tree from left to right—approach grass or weeds with the tip of the thread.

32. Replacing Nylon Thread

1. As a replacement line, use a diameter of 2.4mm (.095in). The spool is suitable for line up to 6m (20ft) on the 10cm (4") head. Avoid using a larger cord, as this may affect trim performance.

CAUTION: For safety reasons, do not use metal-reinforced cord

1. Squeeze the slotted area on both sides of the spool housing to unhook the lower cap.
2. Take out the spool and pull off the old cord. Put one end of the new cord through the spool holes and pull it until the length between the two parts of the cord is the same.
3. Wind the string in the correct direction as indicated on the cord.
4. Hook each end of the string into the slot on the spool's edge and put the ends through the eyelets on the housing. Make sure that the spring and washers are in place.
5. Hold the spool against the housing and pull the ends of the cord to release it from the slot.
6. Align the slot on the lower cap with the hook on the housing and press the cap against the housing until it clicks into place.

33. Maintenance schedule

17. Essential instructions for assembling the mower

Before assembling and operating the petrol device, please carefully read the entire instruction manual and the instructions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The device is supplied WITHOUT FUEL AND OIL in the engine.

Your new device has been tested in the production facility, i.e., there may be a small amount of residual oil in the engine or visible on the dipstick!

Remove the device from the cardboard packaging and ensure no loose parts remain.

Assembly upper and lower tie bar

Carefully unfold the device's handle, taking care not to pinch or damage the control cables of the device.

Insert the lower part of the handle (see the following illustration) into the corresponding hole on the device (see arrow) and secure it with the two screws supplied - one screw with a washer on each side of the handle.

Attach the upper part of the handle to the lower part of the handle using the supplied screws with wing nuts (see the following figure).

Technical line drawing of a mechanical tool or bracket assembly with no visible text or symbols

Mounting the wheels and adjusting the cutting height

Push the grub screw (fig. 1) through the wheel.

Select the desired cutting height and screw the wheel into the corresponding hole (Fig. 2+3)

Cutting heights: A: 25mm B: 40mm C: 55mm.

Put on the wheel cover (Fig. 4). Repeat this procedure for all four wheels. Make sure all four wheels have been mounted at the same cutting height!

Mounting the grass catcher

Attach the textile part of the grass catcher basket to the metal frame of the basket using the plastic connectors provided.

To attach the catcher box to the mower, lift the plastic cover on the mower and then hook the catcher box onto the mower.

18. Use of the mower

Before first use:

Fill the oil into the oil tank of the engine:

MAX MIN

The device is supplied without engine oil. Before the first start-up, fill engine oil SAE30 or 15W-40 (approx. 600 ml) according to the following instructions:

Place the device on a flat surface when filling the oil.

• Pull the cover with the dipstick out of the oil filler opening (see figure)

• After filling the oil, put the dipstick back into the hole and press it firmly.

- Pull out the dipstick again to check.

The oil level must be between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) limits (see figure).

Caution

DO NOT OVERFILL the oil tank. Otherwise, much smoke will come out of the exhaust when the mower is started.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Check the oil level before each use of the device. Top up with oil if necessary. Fill oil up to the MAX level mark on the dipstick.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation and then after every 25 hours of operation.

ADD FUEL

After unscrewing the fuel filler cap, fill the fuel to the collar of the fuel tank, but do not overfill. Always fill with fresh, clean, and approved unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95.

Caution

If you spill oil or fuel on the device when refilling, wipe it away immediately. Do not store, supply, or handle fuel near an open fire.

Caution

Fuels mixed with alcohol or fuels with ethanol or methane additives can bind moisture to themselves, leading to segregation during storage and forming acids. The acid vapours can then damage the fuel system of the device engine during storage. These fuels must not be used in the device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

If you do not use the device for more than 30 days, empty the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburettor are empty (the device will switch itself off). That prevents future engine problems.

Fill the tank with fresh fuel before the subsequent use. For more information, see the chapter on storage instructions.

Starting the engine

When cold starting the engine, press the primer pump 2-3 times to pump petrol into the carburator (see the following figure).

If the engine has already warmed up, you do not need to operate the primer pump.

Pull the start/brake lever to the handle and hold it, then pull the pull cord. The engine should start after 3-4 pulls.

Releasing the start/brake lever stops the engine.

Caution

When starting the engine for the first time, there may be a slight emission of smoke as the protective layers in the engine are burnt. That is entirely normal and is not a problem.

RANGE OF APPLICATION FOR THE PETROL DEVICE

• Mowing with a collection of clippings in a grass catcher box
• Mowing with the rear discharge of the clippings

MOWING WITH THE GRASS CATCHER

When the grass catcher box is installed, the clippings are disposed of in the grass catcher box.

MOWING WITH REAR DISCHARGE

Without the grass catcher fitted, the cover of the grass catcher acts as a deflector, directing the movement of the clippings toward the ground. That creates a row of grass clippings behind the device.

19. Maintenance work

Changing the cutting knife

Attention!

We recommend contacting FUXTEC customer service and the FUXTEC workshop for this task.

Attention!

Drain the oil from the oil tank before removing the blade.

If you want to replace the cutting blade, remove the screw (see the following figure). Carry out the installation according to the illustration. Tighten the screw. The tightening torque is 40 Nm. When replacing the cutting blade, the fixing screw should also be replaced.

The engine oil is drained via the oil filler neck. Place a suitable container to collect the used oil under the engine before opening the nozzle. Then tip the device to the side so that all the oil can drain out of the tank.

After draining the oil, replace the plug in the opening, ensure that the pin is firmly in place, and wipe off any spilt oil.

Fill the oil tank with SAE30 or 15W-40 oil. When the dipstick is inserted and screwed into the hole, the oil level should be between the Min and Max marks. Refrain from filling the oil tank overfull.

Start the engine and let it run for a short time. Switch off the engine, wait 1 minute and measure the oil level in the oil tank again. If necessary, top up the oil to the desired level. (see also chapter "Before first use").

General instructions for maintenance:

All nuts, bolts, and screws must be tightened appropriately so that the device is in a safe and operational condition. Regular maintenance is an essential requirement for the safety of the user, the maintenance of the operating condition, and the device's performance.

Never store a device with petrol in the tank in a building where the fumes could come into contact with open fire, sparks, or high temperatures.

Allow the engine to cool down before packing it in an enclosed space.

To reduce the fire risk, ensure that the device, especially the engine, the muffler and where the replacement fuel is stored, are free from grass, leaves, or excessive amounts of lubricants.

Regularly check the condition of the catcher cover and the grass catcher and replace them if damaged.

Drain the fuel in a well-ventilated area when the engine has cooled down.

Use thick work gloves when removing and installing the cutting blade.

ATTENTION:

Before doing maintenance or repair work, switch off the engine and remove the spark plug.

Check the mower regularly and ensure that all grass deposits on the underside of the chassis are removed.

Lubricate the axle of the chassis and the bearings regularly with a suitable lubricant.

Regularly check the condition of the blades, as they have a significant impact on the performance of the device. The edges should always be sharp and balanced.

Check at regular intervals that all screws and nuts are tight. Worn or incorrectly tightened bolts and nuts can cause severe damage to the engine or frame.

If the blade hits an obstacle hard, stop the device and contact FUXTEC Customer Service.

The cutting blade is made of pressed steel. For optimum mowing results, sharpen the blade regularly, approximately every 25 hours. Check that the blade is always properly balanced. To do this, insert a steel axle (with a diameter of 2-3 mm) into the middle hole. When the axis is aligned correctly, it remains in the horizontal position.

If the knife does not stay in the horizontal position, replace it.

When removing the knife, unscrew the bolt and check the knife holder. If the parts are worn or damaged, replace them.

ATTENTION:

Always use original spare parts. Low-quality spare parts can severely damage the device and pose a safety hazard.

20. Safety instructions

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product is intended for mowing only. Please do not use it for purposes other than those it is intended for. Otherwise, there is a risk that it will be damaged or cause injury.

Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with the contents of these operating instructions to work with the appliance.

The person operating the mower is responsible for the safety of persons in the work area.

Never operate the device near other people, children, or free-roaming animals.

Before starting to mow, check the terrain where the mower is to be used and remove stones, wires, sticks, splinters, bones, and other foreign objects that could get caught or deflected and cause injury.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

All nuts, pins, and bolts must be properly tightened to ensure that the device is in good working order and ready for use.

Never use the device without the protective cover.

Never use the device with a loose cutting blade. Always check that all the associated screws are tight.

Blunted knives should be replaced.

When working with a device, you must ensure that they stand securely.

Never store the device in closed or poorly ventilated areas where fumes could accumulate. The exhaust gases from the engine contain carbon monoxide, which is life-threatening.

Only work in sufficient light conditions (in twilight or with adequate artificial lighting).

Do not use the device when it is raining or when the grass is wet.

Take extra care when mowing in elevated terrain (on slopes). Always mow perpendicular to the slope, parallel to the contour, and not directly uphill/downhill.

Never leave the device running unattended; if you leave the device running, switch off the engine.

Never lift the rear of the mower when you park it and do not hold your limbs near the mowing deck or rear discharge chute when the engine is running.

Never change the speed setting of the engine.

Never transport the device with the engine running.

Stop the engine and disconnect the ignition plug in the following cases:

when carrying out work under the mower or in the discharge chute.

when you carry out maintenance, repairs, or inspections on the device.

before carrying, lifting, or transporting the device.

when you leave the device unattended or want to adjust the cutting height.

before removing and emptying the coarse discharge chute.

Stop the engine and check thoroughly for damage if a foreign object is encountered. In the event of damage, take the device to a specialised service centre for repair.

ATTENTION:

The mower fan continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is switched off.

If the mower vibrates abnormally, stop the engine immediately. To ensure safe operation, regularly check that the device's bolts, screws and nuts are tight.

ATTENTION: FUEL IS A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID.

Store the fuel in a suitable container.

Fill with fuel only in an open and well-ventilated place. Do not smoke or use a mobile phone when handling power.

Only fill with fuel when the engine is switched off. Never open the fuel tank or add fuel when the engine is hot or running.

If fuel has been spilt, do not start the engine. Remove the device from where the fuel was spilt and avoid possible ignition. Do not continue work until the spilt fuel has evaporated and the fuel vapours have dissipated.

After filling the fuel, securely tighten the fuel filler cap and the fuel canister cap.

ATTENTION:

Before doing maintenance or repair work, switch off the engine and remove the spark plug.

21. Storage

If you do not use the device for an extended period, you should store it according to the following instructions. That extends the life of the device.
