Clean the machine thoroughly after each
use. Careful maintenance protects the
machine from damage and extends its
useful life.
Cleaning Position
WARNING
Place the mower on a firm and level
surface before standing it on end. The
mower can topple over while cleaning.
To reduce the risk of injury while
cleaning, never work directly in front of
or behind the machine. Always stand to
one side.
N Remove the battery and fuse key.
N Remove the mulch insert.
N Move cutting height to setting 6.
N Fold down the handle.
Cleaning the Machine
N Put the mower in the cleaning
position.
N Clean the cutting blade.
N Use a damp brush or a cloth to
clean the underside of the mower
after loosening stubborn grass
residue from the mower deck and
rear and side discharge chutes with
a stick.
N Clean dirt from cooling air duct
between motor hood and housing
base.
If dirt cannot be removed with water,
brush or cloth, STIHL recommends you
use a special cleaner (e.g. STIHL
special cleaner).
The type of blade initially supplied with
the mower depends on the market.
Checking the Blade
N Put the mower in the cleaning
position.
N Clean the cutting blade and inspect
it for damage (nicks or cracks) and
wear, replace if necessary.
Always check the mounting screw (1)
and washer (2) when replacing the
cutting blade.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of blade detachment
and resulting injury, replace a damaged
mounting screw or washer.
