Cleaning the mower housing
Dirt deposits make the start difficult, affect the quality of the cut and the discharge of the grass.
Dirt and grass residues are easiest to remove immediately after the mowing. To avoid fouling
the floor, the underside must be cleaned on the grass.
Remove the mulching plug / grass catcher.
Fit the hose connector to the lawn mower and turn on the water tap.
Start the lawn mower and switch it off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade
bar will throw the water onto the underside of the lawn mower and thus clean it.
Turn off the water tap and remove the hose connector.
Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).
