Frequently Asked Questions - PBRM 46 A1 PARKSIDE

What type of engine oil to use and how to check the level?

Use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 engine oil. Capacity is 0.4 L. To check the level, unscrew the oil dipstick (18), wipe it, reinsert it without screwing it, then remove it: the level should be between the min and max marks.

How to start the lawn mower with the electric starter?

Make sure the battery (28) is charged and inserted, the fuel tank is full, and the spark plug connector (16) is connected. Stand behind, push the engine brake lever (3) against the handlebar, then press the electric starter (4) until it starts.

Can I use the lawn mower without the grass catcher?

Yes, you can use the mulching plug (27) for mulching or the side discharge (19a). However, the rear discharge chute must always be fitted with either the bag, the mulching plug, or the side discharge for safety reasons.

How to adjust the cutting height?

Adjustment is made using the lever (22) on the side of the housing. Push the lever outward, move it to the desired position (8 levels from 25 to 75 mm), then release to lock it in place. Make this adjustment with the engine off.

What to do if the blade does not stop quickly?

The engine brake must stop the blade within 7 seconds after releasing the engine brake lever (3). If not, immediately stop the lawn mower, disconnect the spark plug connector, and contact an authorized service center. Do not use the mower until the brake is repaired.

What type of fuel to use and how to refuel?

Use unleaded petrol containing at most 10% bioethanol (E10). The tank has a capacity of 1 L. Refuel only outdoors, with the engine off and cool, using a funnel. Do not smoke and avoid naked flames.

How to maintain the air filter?

Check the air filter (13a) every 25 hours of operation. To clean it, tap it gently; never clean it with petrol or a flammable solvent. Replace it if it is damaged or very dirty.

How to replace the blade?

First empty the fuel tank. Wear protective gloves. Unscrew the blade screw (31) counterclockwise with a 17 mm wrench, remove the flat washer (32) and the old blade. Install the new blade respecting the direction, then tighten the screw to a torque of 45 Nm. Also replace the screw.

Can I use the lawn mower on a slope?

Yes, but mow across the slope, never up or down. Be careful when changing direction. Do not mow on very steep slopes, near embankments, trenches, or levees. Keep a safe distance from obstacles.

How to drain the fuel tank for winter storage?

Use a fuel suction pump (not supplied). Place a suitable container under the pump, remove the fuel tank cap (11), insert the hose and pump out all the fuel. Then open the carburetor screw (34) to drain the rest. Store the lawn mower in a dry, frost-free place.

• Do not dispose of the battery in household waste, in a fire (risk of explosion) or in water. Damaged batteries can harm the environment and your health if toxic vapours or liquids escape.

• Hand in the device and the battery charger at a recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts used can be separated by type and thus recycled.
• Dispose of batteries when discharged. We recommend covering the poles with an adhesive strip to protect against a short circuit. Do not open the battery.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Return batteries to a used battery collection point where they can be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. Ask your local waste disposal company about this.

You can find out how to dispose of the disused device from your local authority or city administration.

• Before disposing of the product, the fuel tank and the engine oil tank must be emptied!
• Fuel and engine oil do not belong in household waste or drains, but must be collected or disposed of separately!

Warranty certificate

Dear Customer,

All of our products undergo strict quality checks to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that your device develops a fault, please contact our service department at the address shown on this guarantee card. Of course, if you would prefer to call us then we are also happy to offer our assistance under the service number printed below. Please note the following terms under which guarantee claims can be made:

• These guarantee terms cover additional guarantee rights and do not affect your statutory warranty rights. We do not charge you for this guarantee.
• 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 following are also excluded from our guarantee: compensation for transport damage, damage caused by failure to comply with the installation/assembly instructions or damage caused by unprofessional installation, failure to comply with the operating instructions (e.g. connection to the wrong mains voltage or current type), misuse or inappropriate use (such as overloading of the device or use of non-approved tools or accessories), failure to comply with the maintenance and safety regulations, ingress of foreign bodies into the device (e.g. sand, stones or dust), effects of force or external influences (e.g. damage caused by the device being dropped) and normal wear resulting from proper operation of the device.

The guarantee is rendered null and void if any attempt is made to tamper with the device.

• The guarantee is valid for a period of 5 years starting from the purchase date of the device. Guarantee claims should be submitted before the end of the guarantee period within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. 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.
• In order to assert your guarantee claim, please contact the service partner shown below. If the complaint is within the guarantee period, we will provide you with a return slip, with which you can return your defective device free of charge to us. It would help us if you could describe the nature of the problem in as much detail as possible. If the defect is covered by our guarantee then your device will either be repaired immediately and returned to you, or we will send you a new device.

Of course, we are also happy offer a chargeable repair service for any defects which are not covered by the scope of this guarantee or for units which are no longer covered. To take advantage of this service, please send the device to our service address.
