MAINTENANCE
• Drain the oil by tipping the engine so that the oil runs out
through the filler pipe.
When the lawn mower with model designation M48 is
tilted, the spark plug should always be positioned as the
highest point.
When the lawn mower with model designation M53 S is
tilted, the air filter should always be positioned as the
highest point.
The oil can be drained from the underside by loosening
the oil plug. Do not forget to refit the oil plug before filling
with oil again.
Ask where you can dispose of surplus engine oil at your
local petrol station.
• Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See the Technical
data section.
• Check the oil level with the dipstick on the oil filler cap.
• The oil filler cap must be completely screwed down to give
a correct picture of the oil level.
If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil up to the upper
level on the dipstick.
• Screw on the oil filler cap.
Lubrication of the cutting height
adjustment
The mechanical parts of the cutting height system should be
lubricated regularly (once a week). Lubricate the cutting
height system with a few drops of oil.
Drive and gearbox
M53 S
Ensure the wheels and wheel axles are clean and free from
leaves, grass, etc. It is also important to keep clean around
the drive gearbox.
• Remove the protective cover by unscrewing the screws.
• Now guide the protective cover out under the stay and
over the drive axle.
• Clean the gearbox with a brush. Also check that the drive
belt and belt pulley are undamaged, for example, no
cracks.
