The following points require special attention:
• Always remove the seed from the seed reservoir after use. (read § 9.6.5; page 56)
• The cooling fins and exhaust of the engine must be clean. Remove any accumulation of soil,
seed or plant debris. The area around the fuel cap must be kept clean to avoid dirt entering the
fuel tank. Blow away any dirt that might block the throttle control.
• Check and clean the air filter after each use.
• Check that the blades are not damaged or bent.
• Check that nothing is wrapped around the blade axle.
• Remove all stuck-on dirt on the inside of the housing. Use the cleaning tool in this regard.
• Remove soil build-up around the ejector accelerator and channel and on the rear cover. Use the
cleaning tool in this regard.
• Remove all stuck-on dirt from the seed distribution system. Make sure that the transparent wall
is transparent again so that any seed accumulations in the system can be seen.
• Also check that the seed funnels are completely free from clogging.

• Clean the suction grille for the blower turbine.
• Remove the large protective cover and remove any accumulation of dirt and soil.
