Frequently Asked Questions - RM420AE SCHEPPACH

How to start the Scheppach RM420AE lawnmower?
To start, ensure the battery is charged and inserted. Hold the engine stop lever (3) against the handle, then press the electric starter (17a). You can also pull the recoil starter cord (17) vigorously after activating the lever.
How to adjust the cutting height?
The cutting height is adjusted with the central lever (14) on the side of the mower. Pull the lever outward and choose among 7 positions from 25 to 75 mm. The lever locks automatically in the chosen position.
How to use the mulching function?
Remove the grass catcher (16) if present. Open the ejection flap (15) and insert the mulching adapter (19) into the opening. Close the flap. Mulching shreds the grass and redistributes it on the lawn. It is effective on relatively short grass.
What type of engine oil to use and how to check the level?
Use SAE 30 oil (or 10W40/10W30). To check the level, place the mower on a flat surface, unscrew the dipstick (12), wipe it, reinsert without screwing, then remove it to read the level. It should be between the min and max marks.
How to maintain the lithium-ion battery?
Charge the battery only with the supplied charger. Protect it from water, moisture and temperatures above 45 °C. Do not burn it. For storage, keep it in a cool, dry place. Check the terminals and clean them if necessary.
What to do if the mower vibrates abnormally?
Immediately stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap. Check if the blade is securely attached and not deformed. Tighten all screws. If the blade is unbalanced, replace it with an original blade. Excessive vibration may indicate a blade or fastening problem.
How to clean the mower?
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap before cleaning. Tilt the mower (spark plug up) and clean the underside of the housing with a brush or wooden spatula. Never use water or a pressure washer to avoid damaging the engine.
How to store the mower in winter?
Completely empty the fuel tank using a suction pump. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Change the engine oil. Remove the spark plug, pour about 20 ml of oil into the cylinder, then pull the starter cord slowly. Store the mower in a dry, frost-free place out of reach of children.
What are the main safety instructions?
Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers. Never mow barefoot. Before mowing, remove stones, branches and other objects. Do not mow on slopes greater than 15°, and always mow across the slope. Stop the engine before leaving the mower or refueling. Never allow children to use the machine.
Where to find spare parts for the RM420AE model?
Original parts are available from your Scheppach dealer or online. Here are some references: blade (7911200620), engine oil (7850000025), battery (7909201708), charging cable (7909201710). Use only original parts to ensure safety and compliance.

⚠ WARNING

Petrol is highly flammable! Therefore:

  • Only store petrol in containers designed to hold petroleum-based liquids.
  • Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke during the refueling process.
  • Always refuel the lawn mower before starting the engine. Always ensure that the fuel tank cap is closed when the engine is running and when the mower is hot; also do not refuel.

- If petrol has overflowed, do not under any circumstances attempt to start the engine. Instead, remove the machine from the affected area. Avoid starting the engine until the petrol fumes have completely evaporated.

- For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank closures must be replaced if they are damaged.

- Never store petrol near a source of sparks. Always use a tested canister. Keep petrol away from children.

- Replace defective mufflers.

- Before using the mower, visually inspect it to ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbalance, replace worn out or damaged blades and mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).

- Please note that where a mower has more than one blade, the rotation of one of the blades can cause the others to rotate as well.

Handling

  • Do not let the combustion engine run in enclosed areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide gas can build up.
  • Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions. Avoid using the machine on wet grass as far as possible.
  • Do not use the lawn mower in a thunderstorm - risk of lightning strike!
    • Always maintain good footing on inclines.
  • Only operate the machine at a walking pace.
  • For machines with wheels: Always mow across hills i.e. never straight up or straight down.
  • Be particularly careful when you change direction on a slope.

- Do not mow on excessively steep slopes and nearby garbage dumps, ditches or dykes. Always be extra careful when turning the mower around and when pulling it towards you.

- Switch off the lawn mower and ensure that the blade has stopped rotating whenever the mower has to be tilted for transporting over areas other than lawns and whenever it has to be moved from or to the area you want to mow.

- Never use the lawn mower if the blade or safety grilles are damaged, or without the attached guards, e.g. deflectors and/or grass catching devices.

- Do not adjust or overclock the engine speed settings.

- Release the engine brake before you start the engine.

- Start the engine with care, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that your feet are far enough away from the mower blade!

- Do not tilt the lawn mower when you start the engine unless the mower must raised off of the ground a little in order to start it. In the latter case, tilt the mower as little as absolutely necessary and only raise the side opposite to that of the user.

  • Before carrying out any checks, cleaning, maintenance or other work on the lawn mower
  • If the lawn mower strikes a foreign body, examine it for signs of damage and carry out any necessary repairs before restarting and continuing to work with the mower. If the lawn mower begins to experience exceptionally strong vibrations, immediately switch it off and check it.

- Switch off the engine:

  • When you leave the lawn mower.
  • Before you refuel.

• Operation of the machine at higher than normal speed can lead to an increased risk of accidents.

  • Take care when carrying out installation work on the machine, and avoid trapping fingers between the moving cutting tool and the fixed parts of the machine.
  • Please be particularly careful when mowing on ground that may subside, on nearby landfills, trenches and embankments.
  • The user must be adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine (including prohibited operations).
  • Check the machine regularly and ensure that all start locks and push buttons are working properly before each use.
  • Please note that improper maintenance, the use of inappropriate spare parts, or the removal or modification of safety devices can result in damage to the machine and serious injury to the person working with it.
  • Please note that the lawnmower's safety systems or devices must not be manipulated or deactivated.
  • Please note that the user must not change or manipulate any sealed engine speed control settings.
  • Only use cutting equipment and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other tools and accessories may result in injury to the operator.
    • Always keep the lawnmower in good operating condition.
  • It is necessary to take enough breaks to reduce noise and vibration exposure.
  • Attention! The lawnmower must not be operated without the use of either the full grass catcher or the self-closing guard for the discharge opening.

9. Operation

ATTENTION!

Always make sure the device is fully assembled before start-up!

CAUTION!

The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore, ensure that you add 0,45 litres of oil before starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30). The oil level in the engine must be checked each time before mowing.

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. 1/ Item 3) 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.

  • Press the engine brake lever (3) together and give the starter cord (17) a vigorous pull. (Fig. 14)
    Attention: When you pull the starting rope the cutting blade rotates even when dissolved motor brake lever. Make sure that there are no body parts in danger zone of cutting blade.
  • When the engine is running, press the drive lever (2) to the handle (1) in order to engage drive on the mower.
  • Before you start mowing, you should run through this operation several times in order to ensure that the machine is working properly.

⚠ WARNING

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.

Warning of the danger of moving blade assemblies!

Using the drive:

  • Engine brake (3): Use the lever to stop the engine. When you release the lever the engine and the blade stop automatically.
  • To mow, hold the drive lever (2) 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).
  • Drive lever (2): If you press this 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.

⚠ 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.

- Check the oil level.

- Open the fuel tank cap and fill the petrol tank (6) up to the lower point of the tank inlet with about 0.8 litres of petrol. Use a funnel and a measuring container for filling. Do not overfill the tank. Use fresh, clean unleaded fuel.

Never mix oil with petrol. Buy fuel in amounts which can be used within 30 days in order to guarantee its freshness.

Note: Use only unleaded gasoline.

⚠ WARNING

Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke when fuel-ling. Remove any oil or petrol residues. Switch off the engine before refuelling and allow the engine to cool down for a few minutes.

Before mowing

Important information

• Make sure that you are properly dressed when mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not wear sandals or tennis shoes.
- Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or damaged in any other way must be immediately exchanged for a genuine replacement blade.
- 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.
- 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.
- Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine out in the open.
- Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that they are in good working order.
- 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.
- 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.
- Advise children and others to keep well away from the lawn mower.
- Never mow the grass in poor visibility.
- Remove all loose objects from the lawn before you start mowing the grass.(Like stones, toys, sticks and wires etc.)

Tips for proper mowing

⚠ CAUTION! 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!

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.

⚠️ Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is relatively short.

To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris bag (16), slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 10-12 / pos. 19) into the ejector opening and close the ejector opening (15).

Mowing

Mowing can take place with the grass box (16) attached. 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. In doing so, 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 4 cm 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:

- 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.

- 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!

- Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.

- Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of artificial light is one reason not to mow.

- Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine vibrates more than usual.

- Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.

- 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.

- 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).

- 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.

- Never remove any safety-related parts.

- Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.

Emptying the grass basket

⚠ WARNING

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 (16), use one hand to lift up the chute flap (15) and the other to grab onto the basket handle (Fig. 16). Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the chute flap (15) 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 grass basket (16) and especially the air grill must be cleaned after each use. Reattach the grass basket (16) only when the engine is switched off and the blade is stopped. Using one hand, lift up the chute flap (15), while grabbing onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the basket from the top. Fig. 9

After mowing

  • Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn mower in an enclosed area. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before storing the mower. Do not place any objects on top of the mower.
  • Check all the screws and nuts once more before you start to use the lawn mower again. Tighten any loose screws.
    • Also be sure to empty the grass basket (16).
  • Pull the spark plug boot to prevent unauthorized use.
  • Ensure that you do not park the mower next to any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to explosions.
  • Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on the warranty certificate).
  • If the lawn mower is not going to be used for an extended period, empty the petrol tank using a petrol suction pump.
  • Oil and maintain the machine.

10. Cleaning

⚠ Warning!

Always shut the engine down and remove the spark plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.

The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. In particular, the underside and the blade retainer.

Attention!

For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable before cleaning.

It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark plug should point upwards to prevent engine oil from entering the intake tract or leaking out.

Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you must make sure that the air filter is on the upper side.

Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump.

Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.

It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately after mowing. Grass residues and dirt that have dried on can impair mowing. Check that the grass ejection channel is clear of grass residues and remove these if necessary. Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pressure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.

Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold cleaners or white spirit.
