FAQs

How do I start the lawnmower?

Before starting, ensure the spark plug is securely connected. Prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb, typically located near the fuel tank, a few times. Then, grasp the handle and pull the starter cord firmly to initiate the engine. Release the cord gently once the engine has started.

How often should I cut the grass?

In the spring, the grass should be cut every week, while in the summer once every two weeks is sufficient.

How can I maintain the lawnmower's cutting blades?

It is important to regularly inspect and sharpen the cutting blades to maintain optimal cutting performance. Lift the lawnmower and remove the blades using a suitable wrench or spanner. Carefully sharpen the blades and ensure they have a balanced weight distribution before reinstalling them.

How short should I cut the grass?

When the grass is longer than 4.5cm, the grass should be cut. The ideal length is between 3 and 4.5cm.

Can I mow the lawn when the grass is wet?

You can, but the result is better in dry weather. When the grass is wet, grass clumps can easily form and clog the mower.

Is the manual of the AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium available in English?

Yes, the manual of the AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium is available in English.

How do I assemble the AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium lawnmower?

First, attach the handle by aligning the holes and tightening the screws provided. Then, connect the grass catcher bag by hooking it onto the rear frame. Finally, insert and secure the mulching plug if you prefer to mulch the grass clippings.

How can I adjust the cutting height of the lawnmower?

Each wheel has an individual height adjustment lever. Simply move each lever to the desired cutting height position, ensuring all wheels are at the same height for an even cut. The cutting height can typically be adjusted from 3 to 8 centimeters, depending on your preference.

What should I do if the lawnmower is not discharging the grass clippings properly?

Firstly, ensure that the grass catcher bag is securely attached and not filled beyond its maximum capacity. If clippings still clog the discharge chute, turn off the lawnmower and carefully remove any debris or grass buildup. Additionally, check that the cutting blades are sharp and properly installed.

How is the V-belt tensioned on the AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium lawnmower?

Theo Bogan

The drive does not work anymore. Possible causes could be: 1. Check the throttle cable and make sure it is properly adjusted. 2. Check the V-belt for any damage. 3. Remove dirt in the wheel drive, gears, and gearbox. 4. Check the wheel screws and make sure they are securely tightened. 5. Check the condition of the wheel hub. Please note that these are general solutions and minor differences may occur depending on the model.

The AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium lawnmower has adjustable handlebar supports. You can get these spare parts for your mower.

Stuart Russel

The lawnmower AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium has a defect in the wheel drive. The left wheel is no longer driven, while the right wheel still works, but is barely noticeable in the grass. It is recommended to readjust the Bowden cable and check the wheel drive for dirt, gears, and belts. If the problem persists, a customer service workshop should be contacted.

How to tighten the drive belt on the AL-KO Silver 520 BR Premium lawn mower: 1. Make sure the engine is turned off and the spark plug connector is disconnected. 2. Remove the drive belt cover. 3. Loosen the tension screw of the drive belt. 4. Tighten the drive belt by turning the tension screw clockwise. 5. Check the tension of the drive belt by lightly pressing on it. The drive belt should have appropriate tension, but not be too tight. 6. Tighten the tension screw to hold the drive belt in position. 7. Check if the drive belt is properly aligned and not protruding beyond the pulleys. 8. Reinstall the drive belt cover.

You can find the information for assembling the drive belt on page 18 of the user manual. The rear idler pulley may be difficult to access. If you are having trouble reattaching the drive belt, I recommend taking the device to a service center or authorized dealer.

The lawnmower is 1.5 years old. Last week was the first time it was mowed this year. Everything was fine for half an hour. Suddenly, the self-propelled feature disappeared. Determination: only the right wheel is driven - but this is hardly noticeable in the grass. The left wheel is no longer driven. What happened? Hope you can help me. Best regards, Marion Balint

How do I replace the gearbox pulley on an ALKO 520 BR. Or how do I replace the gearbox assembly.

Danial Toy

the mower has stopped working. The dealer has investigated, changed the plug and cleaned the carburettor but no joy. I have tested for a spark at the plug outside of the cylinder and cannot see a spark while I pull the start rope. I have obtained a new armature-magneto but reluctant to undo everything without advice.

Hello, I urgently need two new adjustable handlebar mounts for my lawnmower (adjustable handles). Where can I get something like this? Regards

Breanne Vonrueden

Does the blade securing bolt have a clockwise or anti-clockwise thread & what is the torque setting for this bolt? Thanks.

Suddenly, the propulsion no longer works, what could be the reason? Sincerely, PJO.

I have the Silver 652BR QT lawnmower. The drive belt has come off, causing the wheel drive to stop functioning. The front guide (under the blades) is easy to access, but the rear idler pulley is complicated and I don't know how to get the drive belt onto it. Are there any instructions available? Is there a nearby dealer in Kochel/Schlehdorf who can possibly repair it for me? Thank you, Robert Stolz.
