Checking the Engine Oil Level and Filling with Engine Oil

CAUTION! The following procedures and adjustments must be performed before the engine is

started. • Do not attempt to make any of these adjustments while the engine is running. • To

prevent engine damage, the engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct

grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine. • Running the engine with a low oil level will cause engine

damage. It is recommended that high detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil used. Using non-detergent

oil can shorten the engine’s service life and using 2-stroke oil will damage the engine. • Always use high quality

detergent oil classified SAE30 oil (or equivalent e. g SAE 10W/30, often termed as 4 Stroke lawn mower oil). •

Never use additives with recommended oil. To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is hanged

after the first 5 hours of use. • To Check the engine oil level, stop engine and place the mower on a level

surface.

To Check Engine Oil Level

Step 1: Locate the oil fill cap on the crankcase to start. Fill cap locations

vary, depending on the make and model of your engine.

Step 2: Clean the Crankcase: To prevent dirt and debris from falling into

the crankcase, use a clean cloth to wipe the area clean before removing

the cap.

Step 3: Inspect the Oil Dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.

•

To ensure an accurate reading, reinsert the dipstick completely. If

the dipstick cap is a screw-in type, ensure an accurate reading by

screwing in all the way before removing it to check the level.

•

Then, remove it again and check the oil level.

Oil should be filled to the H marked on the dipstick.

Step 4: Never fill over the H (full) mark on the dipstick.

Filling with Engine Fuel

CAUTION! • Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be

used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. • Do not fill into the base of neck to allow for fuel

expansion. Do not overfill the fuel tank. • Petrol is highly flammable and extreme precaution must be taken when

handling or working with it. Keep out of reach of children. • To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped

without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine. •

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flame or sparks in the area

where the engine is refuelled or where petrol is stored. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or

inhalation of vapour.

1. Clean the area around the petrol filler cap before removing the cap. Remove the warning tag, check the fuel

level.

2. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low.

3. Refuel carefully to avoid overfilling or spilling fuel. There should be no fuel in the filler neck.

4. Clean up any overflow or splashes of petrol before starting the engine.

5. Tighten the filler cap after filling, finger tight on.

Mowing Tips

•

The speed of the motor is set to a factory speed setting and the motor will try and maintain this speed during

operation. If the speed of the engine slows down, this could indicate that the mower is being overloaded by

trying to cut too much grass or the catcher may already be full. Try mowing a narrower strip, mowing slower,

raising the cutting height or emptying the catcher.

•

Before mowing, always check and clear the grassy areas for all foreign objects, especially those that are

solid and semi-concealed in the ground such as rocks, stumps and garden stakes.

•

Sharp blades cut cleanly and efficiently, if the blade is dull, it will tear the grass. This will result in the blade

edges turning brown. When the blades no longer cut cleanly, either sharpen them or replace them.

•

To safely operate the mower, ensure all four wheels are on the ground and be careful not to lose your

footing or control of the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on

the handlebar at all times. Always walk, never run with the mower.

•

For healthy growth, grass should not be cut too short. The grass will remain healthier, greener and require

less watering.

•

Vary your cutting pattern from week to week, this will help to prevent matting and graining of the grass.

Cleaning a Flooded Engine

NOTE: if the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the engine may be flooded with

excess fuel. Use following procedure to clear and start a flooded engine.

1. Release the engine start/stop lever to stop the engine.

2. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.

NOTE: Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated, tighten 1/8

to 1/4 turn with socket spanner of spark plug to compress the washer.

3. Pull the engine start/stop lever toward the upper handle.

4. Operate the starter as described above.

Using the Self-Propelled Function

This unit equipped with a self-propelled system. If you press the drive lever (clutch lever), the clutch for the drive

will be closed and the lawnmower will start to move with the engine running.

To stop the moving lawnmower, just simply release the drive lever.

Mowing

WARNING: • Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower.

Carefully read the safety instructions of this manual before using the lawnmower. • Never open

the ejector flap when the grass catcher has been detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still running. The

rotating blade can cause serious injuries!

1. Select your required setting.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run and set it to required speed. See Starting the Engine.

3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with engine stop/start lever and drive lever (clutch lever) closed and

walk along with its self-propelling to start mowing.

When Mowing

•

Walk, never run with the mower, be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.

•

Mow across slopes, never up and down.

•

Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.

•

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Note: Grass clippings can clog underneath the mower deck, preventing the blades from turning. This can

overheat the engine, causing excessive wear to engine components, reducing the lawn mower's overall lifespan

or catastrophic failure of engine bearings and pistons.

Clogging occurs if you mow wet, long, or lush grass. For the best result, mow when the grass is dry and use a

whipper snipper to reduce the height of grass longer than 15cm (6”) before mowing on the highest cutting

setting.

•

Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut

of the season or in drought conditions.

•

Only about one thirds of the grass height should be cut.

•

When mowing with the mulching function, do not cut high or wet grass to ensure that the cut grass can be

scattered efficiently. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the mower, and clean the

blade and the deck.

•

Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use

suitable tools such as a brush or broom.

Emptying the Grass Catcher

A lawn mower generates significant airflow when it moves the grass into the catcher. The catcher is fitted with a

full indicator flap, which stays up if there is space inside. When the space inside the catcher is filled with grass,

the airflow is no longer enough to raise the flap. The flap will drop at this point, indicating it is time to empty the

catcher.

E&OE © Baumr-AG 25

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass catcher.

NOTE: Before taking off the grass catcher, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has come to a stop.

1. To take off the grass catcher, use one hand to lift up the ejector flap and the other to grab onto the carry

handle. The ejector flap automatically falls down after removing the grass catcher and closes off the rear

chute opening.

2. Empty the grass catcher of grass debris and then refit grass catcher.

NOTE: If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. Do not remove grass debris

in the mower casing or on the blade with your hand or feet. Instead, use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.

To ensure that the cut grass can be collected into the grass catcher, the discharge opening and interior of the

mower casing must be cleared of any blockage.

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged for 2 hours on the initial charge and 2 hours for each subsequent charge.

2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.

Engine Oil Replacement

1. Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil filler, have a container ready to catch the oil and remove the dipstick.

Once the oil has been emptied, replace the dipstick and wipe clean any spillages.

2. Refill with 500ml SAE30 oil or equivalent i.e. SAE5W/30, SAE10W/30. When the dipstick is rested on the

filler pipe (i.e. not turn in pace), the oil level must be between the min and H marks on the dipstick. See

Checking the Engine Oil Level and Filling with Engine Oil.

3. Start the engine and allow it to run briefly.

4. Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top up, if necessary.

Replacing the Blades

For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an authorised

service workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.

WARNING! • Before you remove the grass catcher, stop the engine and wait until the blade stops

completely. • You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to

remove the blade. • Don’t invert the mower. Tip it slightly towards the oil filler pipe and reach under the deck. •

Always handle the blade with care, sharp edges could cause serious injuries. ALWAYS USE GLOVES. Renew

your metal blade after 50Hrs of mowing or 2yrs, whichever is sooner regardless of condition. • If the blade is

cracked or damaged, replace it with a new one. • Don’t hold the blade by hand directly. • Maintain the sharpness

of the blade when cutting grass. If the blade has worn excessively and become pitted and blunt, it should be

replaced or sharpened. The sharpness of the blade will affect the performance of the lawnmower. • For safety

reasons, we recommend that the blade should be changed only by someone qualified and authorised to do so. •

Before making any adjustment or maintenance procedures to the lawn mower, ensure it is turned OFF and the

spark plug lead is removed. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.

1. With the engine switched OFF, remove the hard catcher and lift the front of the lawn mower upwards so the

upper handlebar sits on the ground and the spark plug faces upwards.

2. Remove the blade bolt using a 17mm spanner (not supplied) by turning in an anti-clockwise direction, then

remove the outer flange and washer. This allows you to be able to remove the blade mounting plate from the

lawn mower.

3. To remove a single blade from the blade mounting plate, again use a 17mm spanner (not supplied) to loosen

and remove the nut, screw and washers.

NOTE: There is one washer located under the screw on the outer side of the blade mounting plate, and one

on the underside of the blade mounting plate in between the blade and blade mounting plate. Be careful not

to lose these.

4. Repeat the process to remove the other 3 blades.

5. Clean the dirt and grass from around the blade mounting area.

BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG BAUMR-AG

21" Self-Propelled Petrol Key Start Lawn Mower – 890SXe

6. Replace all 4 blades to ensure a smooth even cut and re-fit them on the mower in the reverse direction they

were removed.

7. Lastly, secure the nuts firmly, (20-25Nm) repeating this for the other 3 blades.

8. Replace the blade mounting plate (37) with new blades attached, then the outer flange (32), followed by the

blade bolt (31). Retighten the blade bolt tightly (50 – 59Nm).

NOTE: Use a wooden block to stop the blade from turning. The four blades should be tightened fully but check

to ensure they can still swing back if they were to hit a solid object. Where required, tighten the bolts with a

torque wrench, the centre disc blade bolt torque: 50 – 59Nm and the four blades torque: 20-25Nm. If you do not

have a torque wrench, ask a mower service dealer to tighten the blade bolts before you use the mower.

Blades should be replaced when they become worn and no longer cut the grass cleanly. The performance of

grass catching can also reduce if the blades become worn.

Storing the Lawnmower for Short Periods

The lawnmower can be stored for short periods of time (less than 15 days) without performing any storage

maintenance. Before placing the lawnmower into storage, always carry out the following:

1. Allow the engine to fully cool.

2. Ensure the grass catcher is empty.

3. Clean all debris from under the mower deck.

4. Store the lawnmower on flat and level surface with the mower upright.

5. Store in a safe place which is not accessible by children or people who are not familiar with operation.

Storing the Lawnmower for Extended Periods

If the lawnmower is to be place into storage for more than 15 days, storage maintenance must be performed on

the lawnmower. If the following steps are not carried out, when you next operate the lawnmower it may not start

correctly and may need to be serviced.

CAUTION! Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed areas, near fire or when smoking. Petrol

fumes can cause explosions and fire.

1. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump if available.

2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining petrol has been used up.

3. Change the oil at the end of every season. To do so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine and

refill with fresh oil.

4. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.

5. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the paint.

6. Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
