Cleaning; Removing Of The Machine Hoods - McCulloch M125-85F Operator's Manual

Cleaning

Clean the machine directly after use. It is much easier to wash
off grass cuttings before they dry.
IMPORTANT! Always park the machine on a level surface
with the engine OFF before performing any maintenance.
Oily dirt can be removed using a cold degreasing agent.
Spray on a thin layer.
Rinse at normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure
washer to clean the machine.
Do not direct the jet towards electrical components or
bearings.
Do not rinse hot surfaces such as the engine and exhaust
system.
Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each time
it is used, avoid using a high pressure washer.
It is recommended that you start the engine and run the
mower for a short period after cleaning, so that any remaining
water is blown off.
Lubricate the machine if necessary after cleaning. Carry out
extra lubrication when the bearings have been exposed to a
degreaser or a water jet.
IMPORTANT! Avoid using a high pressure washer or a
steam cleaner.
There is a major risk of water penetrating into bearings and
electrical connections. Corrosion attack can result, which
will lead to running problems. Cleaning additives generally
aggravate the damage.
