Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

IMPORTANT: on some models, the front wheels are removed to prevent damage to the axle during shipping. The wheels are

simply screwed onto the axle with the nuts supplied.

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT

Raise the wheels for low cutting height and lower the wheels for high cutting height. Adjust the cutting height according to your needs centrally using the height adjustment handle (see illustration on page 2). The middle position is the most suitable position for most lawns.

FILL OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Before each subsequent use, check the oil level and, if necessary, top up with SAE30 engine oil. Refer to the table in Chapter 1 Product Specification for the filling quantity.

Your lawnmower is delivered to you without 4-stroke oil.

ATTENTION: DO NOT overfill the engine with oil. It could

lead to the smoke formation in the muffler when starting.

1. Make sure that the lawnmower is level

2. Remove the dipstick from the oil filler tube

3. Insert the dipstick and pull it out slowly to check the oil level

IMPORTANT:

- Check the oil level before each use. Add oil if necessary. Fill up to the oil gauge on the dipstick.

- Change the oil every 25 working hours or every season. You will likely need to change the oil more often in dusty and dirty

conditions. Refer to chapter 10 "Changing the oil."

Refuel with SUPER GASOLINE 95 octane (no mixture)

Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. Do not overfill the tank. Use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Never mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to guarantee the freshness of the fuel. Prolonged storage of the lawnmower will change the chemical composition of the gasoline, which can cause starting difficulties and unsteady running of the engine.

ATTENTION: Remove any oil or gasoline residue. Do not store, spill, or use gasoline near naked flames.

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

ATTENTION: Fuels mixed with alcohol (called gasohol) or the use of ethanol or methane can attract moisture, causing

separation and formation of acid during storage. Acidic gases can damage the engine's fuel system while the device is in storage. Drain the tank system if the device is stored for more than 30 days to avoid damage to the motor. Empty the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel line and carburetor are empty. Use fresh gasoline the next time you use the device. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning agents inside the fuel tank. This can lead to permanent damage.

Do not let the pull starter snapback.

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

Stop

Release the brake lever to stop the motor.

WARNING: The blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is turned off. Unplug the spark plug

connector when leaving the mower unattended.

MOWING INSTRUCTIONS

- In certain circumstances, such as high grass, it may be necessary to raise the cutting height to reduce the thrust and engine

load, which can also lead to grass residue. It may also be required to reduce the basic speed and push the mower twice over this area

- Reduce the cutting width by covering the previous cut again to perform heavy cutting work

- The pores in the grass catcher bag can become clogged with dirt and dust, which means that the catcher can pick up fewer

cuttings. To avoid this, you should regularly wash the catcher with a water hose and let it dry completely before reusing it.

- Keep the upper part of the engine around the starter free of grass and chopped grass clippings. This will improve engine

airflow and prolong engine life.

Starting the FX-RM5196eS models

1. Tighten the brake lever (1) to the handle

2. Then start the engine with the start button (2)

3. As soon as you release the brake lever, the engine stops immediately. To empty the grass catcher box, always

remove the brake lever and stop the engine. Otherwise, there is an acute risk of injury from rotating blades.

6) If the fuel tank needs to be emptied, you should do this outdoors and with the engine cold.

7) Wear solid working gloves when removing or reattaching the blade.

8) Check that the blades are firmly and evenly seated after sharpening.

9) Regularly check the self-closing protective shield and grass catcher bag for wear and tear.

10) When operating, transporting, or tilting the device, please observe the following:

- Wear solid working gloves;

- Hold the device in places that provide a firm grip. Pay attention to weight distribution.

CLEANING (EASY CLEAN function)

Clean the device carefully with water after each cutting operation. Remove the grass and mud deposits that have accumulated inside the undercarriage. This will avoid drying out and possible difficulties when starting the engine again.

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

Easy Clean connection

You can use the EASY CLEAN connection to clean the inner housing (cutting unit). Simply connect a water hose to the connection on the top of the housing and slowly turn on the water while the cutting mechanism is running. The rotation of the cutting mechanism distributes the water evenly in the inner housing and can thus flush away dirt residues.

The paint on the inner side of the undercarriage may flake off over time due to aggressive operations. In this case, you should paint over the paint with rust-resistant paint to protect the undercarriage from the corrosion of the metal.

Check the V-belt 1-2 times a year and remove any cuttings from it. Once a year, the drive wheels should be cleaned inside. Remove both wheels. Use a brush or compressed air to remove grass and dirt from the gear wheel and gear rim.

11. Mow and Stow Function (FX-RM46BS475IS only)

With the Mow and Stow function, you can store your mower in a space-saving way after work is done. For this stowing, please proceed as follows:

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

1. Set the cutting height lever to the most adverse position.

2. Remove the locking screws from the lower bar at

the upper fixation (exact position see picture 3, red arrow) and store them well for the next use of your mower.

3. Open the wing screws on the lower spar.

4. Fold up the handlebar.

5. Fasten the handle with the rubber band provided.

6. Now stow your mower to save space.

12. Care, maintenance, and storage

CHANGING THE CUTTING BLADES

Remove the screw to replace the blade. Empty the fuel tank before removing the blade.

Replace everything, as shown. Fasten the screw properly. The fastening torque is 45Nm. Also, replace the blade screw when replacing the blade.

OIL CHANGE

1. Switch off the engine and let it stop completely.

2. Disconnect the spark plug cable and keep it away from the spark plug.

3. Empty the oil into a suitable container. Tilt the lawnmower by 45 degrees and use a FUXTEC suction pump to suck off the oil

through the filler neck. Alternatively, you can tilt the mower more to drain the oil through the filler neck.

4. Keep the engine balanced. Remove the dipstick. Slowly add approximately 0.5L of new recommended oil (FUXTEC 4MAX 4

stroke oil) into the container until the dipstick reads the top of the container. Do not overfill the container.

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

5. Check the level with the dipstick

Spark plug

Remove the spark plug and clean it with a wire brush after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to

0.75 mm (0.030"). Replace the spark plug, and be

careful not to overtighten it.

Air Filter

Disconnect the air filter cover. Replace the air filter when dirty to prevent objects from entering the air intake.

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-RM Series_rev15

Emptying the fuel tank and carburetor

Option A (Recommended): Use a FUXTEC suction pump to suck the gasoline out of the tank or let the mower run empty. Option B:

1. Place a manufacturer's recommended gasoline canister under the carburetor and use a funnel to avoid spills. Tilt the

lawnmower forward to prevent spillage.

2. Loosen the drain plug (GREEN in the illustration) and drain the gasoline through a funnel.

3. Tighten the drain plug after all gasoline has drained into the canister. Fasten the drain plug securely.

Note: We also offer different suction pumps to pump the fuel directly from the tank and even with the electric pump with which you can refuel. See www.fuxtec.de
