FAQs

How do I start the lawn mower?

Make sure there is fuel and oil in the mower. Prime the engine, and then pull the starter cord firmly.

What type of fuel does the mower use?

The lawn mower uses regular unleaded petrol suitable for 4-stroke engines.

How often should I change the oil?

Consult the user manual for the recommended oil change intervals, usually after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25 hours.

How do I clean the mower?

After each use, clean the mower deck and remove any grass clippings. Use a brush or scraper for removing debris. Do not use water to clean the engine.

How do I adjust the cutting height?

Use the cutting height adjustment lever located on the mower deck to select your desired cutting height.

What is the benefit of the mulching function?

The mulching function finely shreds grass clippings and returns them to the lawn, acting as a natural fertilizer and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

What should I do if the blade gets damaged?

Stop the mower immediately and replace the blade with a new one. Always use the correct replacement blade for your model.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts can be found at AL-KO authorized dealers or online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start

Check fuel and oil levels. Ensure the spark plug is connected and in good condition. Check the engine's on/off switch.

Mower vibrates excessively

Stop the engine and check the blade for damage or imbalances. Tighten all bolts and screws.

Poor mulching performance

Ensure the blade is sharp and the deck is clean. Avoid mowing wet grass, and do not let the grass get too long between mowings.

Mower is difficult to push (self-propelled not working)

Check and ensure the self-propelled mechanism is engaged. Inspect the drive belt for damage or wear.
