Wear eye protection and keep people or animals away from
the surrounding area when cleaning the cutting deck.
a) When washing the inside of the cutting deck and the collector channel, the ma-
chine must be on firm ground:
1. fit the grass-catcher;
2. connect a water hose to its pipe fitting (1), and run
water through it;
3. sit at the operator’s position;
4. lower the cutting deck completely;
5. start the engine and stay in neutral;
6. engage the blade and leave it to turn for a few min-
utes.
Take off the grass-catcher, empty and rinse it, then put
it in a position where it can dry quickly.
b) To clean the upper part of the cutting deck:
– lower the cutting deck completely (position «1»);
– blow a jet of compressed air to remove any remains of grass.
5.4.3 Storage and inactivity for long periods
If the machine is likely to be unused for a long period (more than 1 month), disconnect
the cables from the battery and follow the instructions in the engine manual.
Carefully remove any dry grass cuttings which may have col-
lected around the engine or silencer to prevent their catching fire the next time
the machine is used!
