• Remove grass build up from the air intakes on the top of the mower cowl, around the
engine and carburettor, and around the air filter body.
• The underside of the mower should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grass build
up, as any build up will adversely affect grass catching and mulching performance and can
promote corrosion on steel baseplates.
•
When cleaning the underside of the mower, always tilt handle back to ground level so
the front wheels are off the ground and spark plug is pointing to the sky. Tilting in other
directions can cause the oil to contaminate the fuel & damage air filter causing starting
difficulties.
•
A hose may be used on the underside of your mower ONLY. Care must be taken to NOT
get water into the engine, as it may damage the magneto or get into the fuel system.
• To prevent chassis corrosion, the underside of your mower should be cleaned immediately
after mowing an area which has been recently dressed with sulphate of ammonia or
fertiliser.
•
After cleaning, run the engine briefly to dry off excess moisture before storing.
