Risk of injury!<br />
Always wear<br />
gloves.<br />
Do not touch the mowing<br />
blade until it has come to a<br />
standstill.<br />
If you do not have the<br />
necessary expertise or<br />
auxiliary equipment, please<br />
always contact a specialist<br />
dealer.<br />
VIKING recommends that you<br />
have maintenance operations<br />
and repairs performed<br />
exclusively by a VIKING<br />
specialist dealer.<br />
VIKING recommends the use<br />
of original VIKING tools,<br />
accessories and spare parts.<br />
Cleaning the appliance<br />
17<br />
Maintenance interval:<br />
Each time the appliance is<br />
used<br />
Clean the appliance<br />
thoroughly each time it has<br />
been used. Care of the<br />
appliance will protect it<br />
against damage and extend<br />
its service life.<br />
Remove dirt from the cooling<br />
air guide (inlet slots) between<br />
the motor cover and the lower<br />
housing to ensure that the<br />
motor is adequately cooled.<br />
Clean the mowing blade.<br />
Clean the underside of the<br />
mower with water and a<br />
brush. Detach accumulated<br />
cutting deposits in the<br />
housing and in the ejection<br />
chute beforehand using a<br />
stick.<br />
Never spray water onto<br />
motor components, seals,<br />
bearing points or electrical<br />
parts such as switches. This<br />
would result in expensive<br />
repairs.<br />
Do not use aggressive<br />
cleaning agents. These<br />
cleaners can damage plastics<br />
and metals, impairing safe<br />
operation of your VIKING<br />
mower.<br />
If you are unable to remove<br />
the dirt with water, using a<br />
brush or a cloth, VIKING<br />
recommends the use of a<br />
special cleaner (e.g. STIHL<br />
special cleaner).<br />
CAUTION<br />
Risk of injury!<br />
Before tilting upwards, place<br />
the mower on firm,<br />
horizontal and level ground<br />
and adjust it to the highest<br />
cutting level (level 7),<br />
otherwise the mower might<br />
tilt forwards again.<br />
NOTE<br />
Tilt up the front of the<br />
mower when carrying out<br />
cleaning or maintenance<br />
work. Before tilting, detach<br />
the grass catcher bag, fold<br />
down the upper handlebar<br />
(see section “Assembling<br />
the handlebar”) and lift the<br />
ejection flap.<br />
Electric motor, wheels<br />
and gearbox<br />
The electric motor is<br />
maintenance-free.<br />
The ball bearings of the<br />
wheels are maintenance-free.<br />
The vario gearbox<br />
(<strong>ME</strong> <strong>545</strong> V) is maintenancefree.<br />
Upper handlebar<br />
Maintenance interval:<br />
Before each use<br />
The upper handlebar is<br />
covered with a coating of<br />
insulation. Should this<br />
insulating coating become<br />
damaged, the upper<br />
handlebar must be replaced.<br />
