Anyone here got a Bosch Rotak 40 mower?
Hi All,
Trying to help an elderly couple with their 'Bosch Rotak 40' mains mower where the sprung loaded top flap has become unsprung: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772409/Rotak40.jpg Now it looks like that spring should have an arm that goes though that slot on the flap just under the spring itself and onto the body somewhere and looking at that picture again I think the spring has been put back on the wrong way round (eg, the lower bent arm should be on the left and the right / vertical part of the spring that attaches to the flap would be more vertical). (Thinks) It now makes sense ... the spring came off, she found it on the lawn and put it somewhere safe in the shed but couldn't see it when she went to show me earlier. I couldn't see where another spring would go and 'of course' it's 'the' spring that someone has tried to put back on. Now looking on the parts diagrams it looks like the spring is supposed to be straight (the arms at 180 Degrees from each other) and I guess there is a slot for the lower half of the spring to slot into? http://www.ransomspares.co.uk/parts/brands/bosch/lawnmowers/rotak%2040%20gc%20(3600h81c73)/closing-spring/502117.htm So, does anyone have such a beast who can confirm my thoughts re the correct fitment above and have you had similar problems with yours? Cheers, T i m |
