MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
WARNING:
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, switch off the engine and wait
until the blade has come to a stop.
CLEANING
GENERAL CLEANING
The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly every time after it has been used. Always clean your lawn
mower immediately after use.
Do not allow grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on any of the mower surfaces.
Dried grass remnants and dirt may impair the mowing operation.
Check that the grass chute is free of any residual grass. Remove any such residue. Check the underside of
the lawn mower and the blade mount. When checking, tilt the lawn mower onto its left side (opposite the oil
filler neck).
NOTE:
Before placing the lawn mower on its side, fully drain the fuel tank using a gas extraction
pump.
Do not tilt the lawn mower by more than 90 degrees.
