Clean the grass collection bag annually with a brush or gentle spray of
water.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with the air
filter and carburettor uppermost.
Remove any remaining cut grass from the cutting system with a scraper
and a brush.
Reposition the mower onto its four wheels.
Do not use a pressure washer or hot water to clean the mower. Be
careful to avoid soaking parts such as the engine, air cleaner, wheel
bearings and metal fastenings. Dry off the machine before storing by
leaving it running for a few minutes on a flat, clear surface to prevent
corrosion or seizure.
3.32 Storing the mower
Store your mower in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flames, sparks
or heat sources. If the storage area is accessible to children, immobilise
the machine by disconnecting the spark plug cap.
Storing the mower beneath a tarpaulin or similar cover is not
recommended as it may cause a build-up of condensation resulting in
corrosion of the mower.
Extended shutdown and winter storage
Thoroughly clean the mower. Ideally, run the engine outdoors until the
fuel tank is empty. Alternatively, empty any remaining fuel using a fuel
suction pump. Turn the fuel tap to the OFF position (fig 13).
Dispose of discarded fuel safely and responsibly, remembering that petrol
vapours can cause explosion or fire. Run the engine until any remaining
fuel is consumed. Allow the engine to cool. Check the condition and
cleanliness of the air cleaner (see page 17).
Remove the spark plug from the engine and pour a tablespoon of engine
oil into the cylinder. Gently pull the starter rope several times to turn over
the engine, distributing the oil to protect the cylinder over winter. Replace
and tighten the spark plug.
At the start of the new season
Remove the spark plug and gently clean off any carbon deposits from the
tip with a small copper wire brush, finishing off with petrol. Allow the
spark plug to dry. Pull the starter rope several times to expel excess oil
