CLEANING GUIDELINES
ATTENTION
:
Do not use solvents, chemicals or abrasives when cleaning the machine, as some
surfaces may be damaged.
•
Wear gloves or use suitable tools to assist in cleaning, do not use bare hands.
•
Clean the machine after every use to ensure best performance and longest service life.
•
It is recommended to jack the machine up when inspecting or working on the underside of the deck. Avoid tilting
the machine to avoid potential fuel or oil spills or leaks.
•
Use a slightly damp cloth, water and mild detergent for cleaning.
•
Use a brush for parts that are difficult to reach.
•
Ensure air vents and surfaces designed for heat dissipation are clean and free of obstructions or debris.
•
Remove clippings, dirt etc from the underside of the deck and cutting blades (the deck wash function on some
models assists this procedure).
•
It is recommended to lightly oil the cutting blades after each use to help prevent corrosion.
•
Ensure all chutes and flaps are clean and not obstructed.
•
Ensure that spring-loaded parts, such as the rear guard, return to the normal position when released.
•
Clean and check the grass catcher for any damage, replace damaged parts. Allow the grass catcher to dry
thoroughly before storing to prevent mildew or deterioration of the catcher netting (where applicable).
•
Ensure that all control cables, levers, switches etc are clean and operate normally and smoothly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The table includes some of the most common problems, their causes and remedies.
DIFFICULTY STARTING THE ENGINE
POSSIBLE FAULT
SOLUTION
Lack of fuel
Check that there is fuel in the tank and the fuel system is primed (if
applicable). To further check if fuel is reaching the carburettor, remove the
carburettor drain plug or lower screw and check if fuel drains.
Engine “OFF”
Ensure engine ON/OFF switch is in the “ON” position (if applicable).
Carbon build-up on spark plug
Remove the spark plug and clean any carbon from the electrodes before
re-installing it.
Engine “flooded” with fuel
Place the choke in “HOT” or “RUN” position. Leave the ON/OFF switch in
the “OFF” position (if applicable). Pull the starter cord several times to assist
clearing excess fuel from engine before attempting to start engine.
Not enough or too much engine oil
Check oil level and ensure that the level is at or just below the recommended
maximum level.
