Caring for your Lawnmower
Cleaning (N)
• USE GLOVES
• IMPORTANT
It is very important that you keep your lawnmower
clean. Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes or
under the hood could become a potential fire hazard.
1. Remove grass from under the hood with a piece of
wood or similar.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from all
air intakes and the grassbox.
3. Remove the blade,
see Figure M
, to gain access to
the fan and clean with a soft brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth.
• IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do not
clean with chemicals, including petrol, or solvents -
some can destroy critical plastic parts.
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace blade, bolts, nuts or screws, if necessary.
2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.
3. Ask your local Service Centre to clean the air filter thor-
oughly and carry out any service or repairs required.
4. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
Carrying your Lawnmower (P):
Hold as illustrated in
Figure S. Ensure the blade is facing away from you.
Storing your Lawnmower (Q):
