Cleaning of the machine
It is important to clean the machine thoroughly every day to prevent grass and dust particles
from posing a potential risk of fire. This specially applies to the motor compartment around the
drive belts.
In order to prevent heating of the hydraulic system, cleaning of the grates, in the side of the
guard above the hydraulic pump and at the rear end of the machine, and removal of grass and
dust regularly during the day is important.
Important:
The machine must not be cleaned with high-pressure because then there is a great
risk of damaging the bearings and the electric components.
