Caring for your Lawnmower
Cleaning
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. USE GLOVES
It is recommended that you clean your law n m ow e r
straight after mowing while the grass is still wet.
1. Remove grass from under the hood with the
spanner/scraper tool. (Q1)
2. Remove the blade, see Figure L, to gain access
to the fan and clean with a soft brush. (Q2)
3. Lever the roller out of position and clean with a
soft brush. (Q3)
4. Remove grass clippings from:
• all air intakes (R)
• grassbox (S)
• both sides of grassbox full indicator (T)
5. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a
dry cloth.(V)
• IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower.
Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or
solvents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
Transporting the lawnmower.
• The lawnmower may be transported on its roller ( W ) .
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.
Storing the lawnmower
The handles can be folded to take up the minimum
of space (X)
• Loosen the handle knobs
• Fold the upper handle over the lawnmower.
• Ensure the switchbox cable is not trapped.
• Store in a dry place where your lawnmower is
protected from damage.
