13 SERVICE DEPARTMENT
§ Damaged switches must be replaced by our after-sales service department.
§ If the connecting cable (or mains plug) is damaged, it must be replaced by a special
connecting cable which is available from our service department. Replacement of the
connecting cable should only be carried out by our service department (see last page) or
by a qualified specialist (qualified electrician).
14 STORAGE
Always clean your mower before storage. Store your mower in a clean, dry environment.
To avoid mould on remaining contents, make sure the grass collect bag is empty and dry.
You can fold the handle to save space, loosen the 2 clamps on each side of the handle and
bend the upper handle part towards the front of the machine.
14.1 Long time storage:
Apply some environmentally friendly oil on the mower blade to prevent it from rusting.
14.2 Hibernation
Have your blade sharpened after the mowing season, so your machine is ready for the new
season.
