5. Maintenance
General
Watch out for fuel and oil leakage and
repair, if necessary.
Regularly check bolts and nuts for
tight fit and retighten, if necessary.
Slightly grease all gliding and mov-
ing parts (e.g. speed control lever, hand
lever bearing, etc.) with Bio-lubricating
grease and Bio-slushing oil.

Cleaning
After each cleaning (washing with wa-
ter, especially with pressure washer)
lubricate all lubrication points, oil and
let the mower run for a short time to
press water out.
Apply grease generously to leave a
grease ring around bearings to prevent
water, plant sap, and dirt from penetrat-
ing.
Clean the engine only with a cloth.
Avoid spraying with air-compressed
water jets, as water might leak into igni-
tion and fuel system, causing malfunc-
tions.
