FAQs

Q: How often should I change the engine oil?

After the first five hours of operation, change the oil every 25 to 50 hours, or at the beginning of each mowing season. Use the oil type specified in the handbook at all times.

Q: How do I adjust the cutting height?

To choose the appropriate cutting height, use the wheel mechanism or height adjustment lever. To keep the cut level, make sure all four wheels are set equally.

Q: What type of gasoline should I use?

Make use of brand-new, unleaded petrol with an octane value of at least 87. Unless the engine specifies otherwise, do not combine oil with fuel (see the handbook).

Q: Where can I purchase replacement parts or accessories?

Authorised Ronix dealers and the official Ronix website sell replacement blades, air filters, spark plugs, and other components. For maximum performance and safety, always use authentic parts.

Q: How do I safely transport the lawn mower?

Make sure that the fuel cap is securely fastened, the mower is off, and the blade has stopped. To avoid tipping or sliding, secure the mower on trucks or trailers.

Q: How do I prime the engine before starting?

Before pulling the starter cord, press the priming bulb three to five times, if it has one. Particularly in cold weather, this facilitates the delivery of fuel to the carburettor for simpler ignition.

Q: How often should I clean the mower deck?

To avoid corrosion and preserve performance, clear the deck of debris and grass clippings after every two to three mowing sessions. When the engine is running, never wipe the deck.
