Storing and maintenance
Maintain your lawnmower on a regular basic:
Check all bolts, screws and deck. Always make sure the knife is sharp. It is
recommended that the knife is changed every 2 years.
It is a good idea to let your local service shop check your lawnmower once a year.
Storing:
Keep the lawnmower in dry clean room. Clean the machine every time it
has been used. Grass and dirt must be removed from the inside of the cutting deck.
Tilt the front of the lawnmower for cleaning, maximum 45 degrees. If you tilt it to the
side, the carburettor and air filter must always turn up. If it does not turn up, the oil
may run out and damage the engine. Always make sure the cap is removed from
the spark plug when the lawnmower is being maintained.
