Caring for your Lawnmower
Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
It is very important that you keep
your lawnmower clean. Grass clippings left in any

a potential fire hazard.
USE GLOVES
It is recommended that you clean your law n m ow e r
straight after mowing while the grass is still wet.
1. Remove grass from under the hood with the
spanner/scraper tool.
