Service Recommendations
Caring for your Lawnmower
• 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
Cleaning (M)
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.
3. Remove the cutting head, (see fig G), 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 sol-
vents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace plastic cutters, 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
Hold as illustrated in Figure N. Ensure the cutters
are facing away from you.
Storing your Lawnmower
Store in a dry place where your lawnmower is
protected from damage.
