Maintenance & Repair

Maintenance

McGregor MEH1533M - Maintenance - 1

WARNING!

Always switch the product off, disconnect it from the power supply and let the product cool down before performing inspection, maintenance and cleaning work!

  • Keep the underbody and cutting blade clean and free of debris. Remove clippings from the discharge chute.
  • Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness before operation. After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the cutting blade will become worn and lose some of its original shape. The cutting efficiency will be reduced and the cutting blade should be replaced.
  • Lubricate the cutting blade after each use to prolong the life span of the cutting blade and product. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the cutting blade.

Repair

This product does not contain any parts that can be repaired by the consumer. Contact an authorised service centre or a similarly qualified person to have it checked and repaired.

Mowing advice

We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines. Only mow with a sharp blade so that the blades of grass do not fray. This can cause grass to turn yellow. To achieve a good cut, guide the hover in lines that are as straight as possible. These lines should always overlap by a few centimeters so that you do not leave any uncut strips.

How often you need to mow your lawn depends on how fast the grass is growing. During the main growth period mow more frequently. If the grass is longer than usual, cut it in 2 or more stages. This will cause less stress to both the hover and the grass. Never cut the grass by more than half its height.

Keep the under side of the hover casing clean and remove all grass deposits from it. Regularly check to ensure there are no deposits blocking airflow or stopping rotation of the front wheel. Deposits make it more difficult to start the hover and also adversely affect the mowing quality and the grass collection. Switch off the motor before you carry out any inspections of the blade. Remember that the blade will continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never attempt to stop the blade.

Check regularly that the blade is correctly secured, in good condition and sharp. If not, sharpen or replace the blade.

If the moving blade strikes an object, stop the hover and wait until the blade has come to a complete standstill. Then check the condition of the blade and the blade mounting. If they are damaged, they must be replaced.

Place the mains lead in loops on the ground near the wall socket. Mow away from the socket and cable and ensure that the mains lead is always on the section of lawn that you have already mowed so that you do not run over the mains lead with the hover.
