5.4.11 CLEANING AND STORAGE
Put the machine away in a dry place protected from weather and, if possible,
cover with a cloth. After each mowing, clean the outside of the machine, empty
the grass-catcher and shake it to remove residual grass and earth.
Always empty the grass-catcher and do not leave con-
tainers full of cut grass inside a room.
Clean the plastic parts of the body with a damp sponge using water and deter-
gent, taking care not to pu water on the engine, the electrical parts or the elec-
tronic card located under the dashboard.
Never use hose-nozzles or harsh detergents for cleaning the
body and engine!
For washing the inside of the cutting deck
and the collector channel the machine must
be on firm ground with:
– the grass-catcher or stone-guard fitted;
– the operator seated;
– the engine running;
– the transmission in neutral;
– the parking brake engaged;
– the blades engaged.
Connect a water hose to the pipe fittings (1) alternating, and run water through for
a few minutes each, with the blades turning.
When washing, the cutting deck should be fully lowered.
Then take off the grass-catcher, empty and rinse it, and then put it in a position
where it can dry quickly.
To avoid impairing the efficient working of the electromag-
netic clutch:
– prevent the friction from coming into contact with oil;
– do not direct jets of high-pressure water directly onto the clutch unit;
– do not clean the clutch with petrol.
