This mower can be stored vertically to save space:
1. Fold the handle, and fix the quick clamp tightly.
2. Set the cutting height to the top 3 working heights.
Important! Always drain the petrol before vertical storage.
Note:
Alternatively, adding Briggs & Stratton FUEL FIT to the fuel will prevent contaminated
fuel. Not all additives on the market do this. FUEL FIT can be ordered via www.
gardenservicecentre.co.uk.

Cleaning
•
To ensure long life and good performance of the machine, it’s important to keep the
machine clean and well lubricated. Make sure the chute is clean and under the deck is
cleared from wet debris. (See also short term storage).
•
Do not allow grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on any of the
mower surfaces, as this will directly affect the cutting and grass collection performance.
Make sure that the underside of the lawn mower deck is clean and clear.
•
Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high-pressure cleaner. The engine
must remain dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents, such as cold
degreasers or petroleum ether.
