Cutting Height Adjustment



WARNING!

Turn mower off before adjusting cutting height lever for best results adjust the cutting height of your mower to suit the mowing conditions. do not try to remove too much grass in one pass.

Adjustment of the cutting height is made centrally on all Sanli models except the

LS40. for details on how to adjust the height of the LS40 please refer to the owner's manual. for all other models turn off the mower and take the weight of the mower by lifting. Take hold of the cut height Adjustment Lever, positioned above the mower's right-hand rear wheel (models LS42, LSP42, LSP46,

LSP513, LSP514, LS4135, LSP4135) or at the rear of the mower (models LSR42,

LSPR42, LSPR48)

Move the lever outwards to release it from its locating notch. Move the lever towards the front of the machine to increase the cutting height and towards the rear to reduce the cutting height.

Return the lever to the locating notch to set the desired cutting height.

Make sure the handle fits snugly and securely into its serrated holder.

Cutting System before and after each mowing session, check that the blade, its attachment bolts and drive shaft are not damaged or excessively worn. Never try to straighten a bent blade. Replace a damaged, worn or bent blade as soon as possible. use only genuine SANLi parts or those approved by SANLi.

Excessive vibration when mowing is a good indication of a problem with the cutting system.



WARNING!

Vibration from a bent or damaged blade can cause costly damage to the mower. Working with an excessively worn blade wastes fuel and can lead to injury if the blade becomes detached from the machine.

Removing the blade

Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling the blade. disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with air filter and carburettor side uppermost.

holding the blade firmly in one hand, use a spanner or socket to loosen the blade screw.

Sharpening the blade for best mowing results, have the edges sharpened and the blade balanced at least once a year by a specialist service dealer or agent.

Mounting the blade

Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling the blade. disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with air filter side uppermost.

check that all components (the blade, key, blade holder, screws and washers) are present, clean and in good condition.

Position the blade on its support with the cooling fins facing the engine. check the correct alignment and matching of pads with the blade.

The blade must be positioned precisely on its stand.

Tighten the screws connecting all of the components. Make a final visual check that all parts are present and aligned before tightening the fixing bolt very firmly with a wrench while holding the blade firmly in one hand (Nb wear suitable gloves).

IN

OUT

Spark Plug check the spark plug initially after the first five hours of mower use. Thereafter, maintenance of the spark plug should take place every 25 hours.

Remove the spark plug cap ( fig.15 ) using a rotary motion and then remove the spark plug with the wrench provided

( fig.16 ).

clean off any carbon deposits using a copper brush and check the electrode gap with a feeler gauge (the gap should be ≈ 0.7 mm). Replace and re-tighten the serviced spark plug and replace the cap.

if the spark plug is worn or damaged, replace with a new spark plug of the same or suitable type for the engine. if in doubt, contact your point of purchase or local dealer.

WARNING!

do not twist the foam cartridge to clean it as this could cause damage.

If your mower is not serviced correctly, you could reduce your mower’s ability to operate and void warranty.

MAX

MIN

Air Filter

An air filter in poor condition will reduce the performance and life of the engine while making it harder to start. Regular checks are therefore essential, especially when using the mower in dusty conditions. check and clean the air filter every 25 hours of use or more often if the engine is used in a dusty environment.

Models LS40, LS42, LSP42, LSR42,

LS4135, LSP4135 have a foam air filter.

Models LSP46, LSP513, LSP514,

LSPR48 have a paper element with a foam outer filter.

Remove the air box lid and carefully remove the foam filter cartridge. clean foam filters in a small bowl of warm water containing a few drops of washing-up liquid until they are perfectly clean and free from all traces of grease and dust. Rinse the foam filters in clean water and then squeeze gently to remove most of the water. Let the filter air dry until it is completely dry.

clean paper filters with a small brush, gently rubbing the filter until as much dirt and dust as possible has been removed, taking care not to damage the paper element clean the cover and inside of the air box with a clean lint-free cloth. Apply a uniform layer of oil to the outside of the cartridge filter with a brush (you can use clean engine oil for this).

PAge 7 insert the filter cartridge into its housing and replace the filter lid, ensuring that each component is in place and properly installed. if the filter cartridge is damaged or is very dirty, replace it using a genuine part.

Adjusting the transmission cable in its engaged position ( fig.18 ), the

Lever is pulled fully towards the handlebar.

An incorrectly-adjusted cable can cause premature wear to the mower’s engine.

if the transmission cable is too tight, it will be difficult to move the advance lever towards the handlebars.

conversely, if the transmission cable is not tight enough, the engine will function poorly and will lack power.

To adjust the tension of the cable transmission, increase or reduce the length of the adjustment device using the spanner ( fig.19 ). check the effectiveness of the transmission and the resistance of the lever.

Once proper adjustment has been reached, secure the adjustment device by tightening the lock nuts.

Checking the oil level

Position the mower on a firm, level surface. unscrew the oil level dipstick

( fig.20 ) and wipe dry. insert the dipstick until it reaches the filler neck, but do not screw in.

Remove the dipstick and check the oil level holding the dipstick horizontal.

The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum oil level marks on the dipstick ( fig.21 ). Add oil if necessary and repeat the above checking process. Running the engine without oil or with too little oil can cause serious engine damage.

Note: dispose of used engine oil carefully, responsibly and in accordance with local or national regulations

Changing the oil

The first oil change should be carried out after the first 5 hours of mower use.

Thereafter, change the oil after every

25 hours use or at least once a year.

Leave the engine running outdoors for several minutes to warm the oil and make it more fluid.

 WARNING!

Parts of the engine will become very hot and can cause severe burns.

Remove the spark plug cap and unscrew the oil level dipstick. Place a suitable container beneath the mower’s oil filler pipe and tilt the mower onto its side with the air filter and carburettor uppermost.

Allow the oil to drain completely into the container. Return the mower onto its four wheels and fill the engine with new oil.
