3.4 Doplnění paliva

Use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Fill the fuel tank carefully, avoiding spills. Do not fill the tank completely; leave some space for fuel expansion. Always replace the fuel cap securely.

4. Obsluha sekačky

4.1 Startování motoru

Ensure the spark plug wire is connected. For Briggs & Stratton engines with ReadyStart technology, no priming or choking is required. Simply pull the starter cord firmly and smoothly until the engine starts.

4.2 Nastavení výšky sečení

The mower features a single-lever 7-position deck height adjustment, ranging from 1.25 inches to 3.75 inches. To adjust, pull the lever outwards and move it to the desired height setting. Ensure all four wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.

Your Yard Force mower offers three cutting options:

  • Balení: For collecting grass clippings. Attach the grass collection bag to the rear of the mower.
  • Boční výboj: For dispersing clippings out the side. Attach the side discharge chute to the mower deck.

5. Údržba

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your lawn mower. Always refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for specific engine maintenance schedules.

5.1 Údržba motoru

  • Výměna oleje: Vyměňte motorový olej po prvních 5 hodinách provozu, poté každých 25 hodin nebo ročně.
  • Vzduchový filtr: Pravidelně čistěte nebo vyměňujte vzduchový filtr, zejména v prašném prostředí.
  • Zapalovací svíčka: Zapalovací svíčku každoročně kontrolujte a čistěte. V případě potřeby ji vyměňte.

5.2 Péče o čepel

Inspect the blade regularly for sharpness and damage. A dull blade tears grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed. Always wear heavy gloves when handling the blade.

5.3 Deck Cleaning

After each use, clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup, which can affect cutting performance and lead to rust. Use a hose and a brush, ensuring the spark plug wire is disconnected.

5.4 Skladování

For seasonal storage, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the mower thoroughly. Store in a dry, protected area. The foldable handle allows for compact storage.
