7. Installation / Presettings
Read this manual thoroughly and carefully before installing and using your lawnmower.
IMPORTANT: The lawnmower is sold WITHOUT OIL OR FUEL. Your new lawnmower has been assembled and tested at the
factory.
REMOVE ANY CARDBOARD PARTS FROM THE LAWNMOWER
Remove the device from the box and check the entire packaging thoroughly for loose parts.
IMPORTANT: For assembly steps 1-3, depending on the model, your lawnmower will be delivered entirely pre-assembled
(assembly variant 1) or in two packages (assembly variant 2). We, therefore, ask you to consider two assembly variants in the
following. Assembly step 4 is the same for all variants.
Body version 1 (46s
models)
1. Remove the lawnmower from the packaging
2. Insert the lower spar (A) into the body and mount it laterally on the right and left with a screw.
3. Insert upper spar (B) and tighten with orange wing nut, then tighten screws + nuts on both sides.

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.
