Caring for your Lawnmower
Cleaning (Q)
• USE GLOVES
• IMPORTANT
It is very important that you keep your lawnmower
clean. Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes
or under the deck could become a potential fire
hazard.
1. Remove grass from under the deck with brush.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from all
air intakes, the discharge chute and the grass box.
3. Remove the blade, see Figure P, to gain access to
the fan and clean with a soft brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry
cloth.
• IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do
not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or sol-
vents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace blade, bolts, nuts or screws, if necessary.
2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.
3. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
Storing your Lawnmower: Store in a dry place where
your lawnmower is protected from damage
