transmission
Do not use water or a high-pressure
cleaner to spray down the engine or any of
the bearing points (wheels, transmission,
blade bearing).
Water penetrating the ignition system,
carburettor and air filter can cause
malfunctions. Water in the bearing points
can lead to loss of lubrication, and thus
cause irreparable damage to the bearings.
Use a cloth, hand brush, long-handled
paintbrush or similar for removing dirt and
grass residues.
CAUTION
- Damage to the electrical system by
penetrating water!
- Take care when cleaning the tractor with
water to ensure that no water gets into
the electrical system!
Cleaning the discharge channel
Regular cleaning ensures that the cutting
height adjustment can be moved easily.
The discharge channel consists of two
parts pushed one inside the other. The
lower part is firmly engaged in the lower
deck. The upper part can be pulled out for
cleaning.
1. Remove the grass catcher.
2. Remove the screws (19a) on the left
and right of the discharge channel.
3. Pull the discharge channel through the
back wall and out to the rear.
4. Thoroughly clean the upper and lower
discharge channel.
5. Insert the discharge channel into the
back wall. When doing this, make sure
that the upper and lower parts fit neatly
one inside the other.
6. S crew it on tight using the t wo
fastening screws.
7. The grass catcher can be reinstalled.
Cleaning the mowing system
There are connections for a half-inch water
hose coupling (20a) on the mower deck.
The mowing system can be cleaned by
connecting a water hose.
The grass catcher or a suitable accessory
such as a deflector must be installed
during the cleaning process.
1. Connect the water hose to the lawn
tractor (20a) and turn on the water.
2. Start the engine and set it to a medium
engine speed.
3. Lower the mower mechanism to the
lowest cutting height.
4. Switch on the mower mechanism.
5. The mowing system will be cleaned
within a few minutes.
6. Switch off the mower mechanism.
7. Switch off the engine.
8. Turn off the water and disconnect the
hose.
9. Start the engine again and allow the
mower mechanism to run for a few
more minutes in order to fling out the
water.
10. Clean the grass catcher.
