Cleaning (Illustration O )

IMPORTANT
During cleaning and maintenance work, close the fuel tap Y2 , place the mower on its right-hand side, or even
better tilt it forwards O (spark plug facing upwards) as otherwise start-up difficulties could occur. When tilting the
mower forwards make sure the ejection flap does not get damaged. Secure the mower in its raised position!
CAUTION
When tilting the mower upwards or placing it on its side, make sure no oil or petrol escapes. Fire hazard!
Remove dirt and residual grass directly after mowing. Use a brush or cloth for cleaning.
CAUTION
Do not insert your fingers into the openings in the fan housing and hold the fan. If the cutter bar is turned during
cleaning, there is a risk of fingers being squashed between fan and fan housing.
IMPORTANT
Never use high-pressure cleaners or a normal water jet to clean the drive area, engine parts (such as ignition
system, carburettor etc.), seals and bearing points. Damages or expensive repairs can be the consequence of such
action.
IMPORTANT
Keep the gearbox area free of dirt. All moving parts must be free of dirt.
