11 ENGLISHGB SPARK PLUG Never remove the spark plug or spark plug cable when checking to see if there is a spark. Always use an approved test instrument. Clean the spark plug regularly (every 50 hours of run time or once a season). Use a wire brush for cleaning. Change the spark plug if the electrodes are exces- sively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The engine manufacturers recommendations are as follows: (fig. 15): Champion J19LM (RJ19LM). Spark gap: 0.7-0.8 mm. ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE If the drive does not engage when the power drive lever is pressed against the handle, or if the lawn- mower feels cumbersome or slow, this may be be- cause the clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify this situation, adjust the clutch cable as fol- lows: 1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be possible to push the mower backwards without any resistance. If this is not the case, screw in the nipple T until the mower can be pushed (fig. 17). 2. When the clutch loop is pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi- tion 1), there should be some resistance when pushing the lawnmower. With the clutch loop fully pressed in (position 2) it should not be possible to push the mower. Unscrew the nipple T until this position is achieved. CHANGING BLADES Wear protective gloves when changing blades to avoid cutting yourself. Check the blade system regularly. Check particularly the curved area behind the blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade shows traces of damage it should be re- placed. A worn blade creates imbalance and can damage the mower.Always check the blades after a collision. First dis- connect the spark plug cable. If the blade system has been damaged, defective parts should be re- placed. Always use genuine spare parts. Replace- ment blade pack reference MS1186 is available from all B&Q stores and specialist garden machin- ery dealers. To replace the blade, slacken the screw (fig. 18). Fit the new blade so that the stamped logo is turned up facing the blade holder (not facing the grass). Reinstall the washer and screw. Tighten the screw properly. Tightening torque 40 Nm. When replacing the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced. The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade, blade holder or engine caused by running into ob- stacles. When replacing the blade, the blade holder and blade screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non- genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or damage, even if they fit the machine. SHARPENING THE BLADES Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind- stone. It is important to keep the same angle as the original edge. For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharp- ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature could cause the blades to become brittle. Once the blade has been sharpened, it must then be balanced to avoid vibra- tion damage. Refer tp your local dealer. STORAGE WINTER STORAGE Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run until it stops. The same petrol must not re- main in the tank for more than one month. Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug. Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark plug. Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in a dry place.
