Make sure the cable clip is properly secured to the
bracket. If the cable clip feels loose or have fallen of,
mount the clip back into place.

External cleaning

• Do not use a high pressure washer to clean the
machine.

• Clean the air intake on the starter. Check the starter
and starter cord.
• When cleaning under the cutting cover, empty the fuel
tank and put the machine on its side with the muffler
down.
Cleaning of the gear housing.
• Remove the service hatch.
• Brush leaves and grass off of gear housing. If
necessary clean the gear housing with water. For
LC348Ve and LC353VE make sure the battery is

Oil level
The lawn mower should stand on flat ground when you
check the oil level. Check the oil level with the dipstick on
the oil filler cap.
• Remove the oil cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
• Put the dipstick back in. The oil filler cap must be
completely screwed down to give a correct picture of
the oil level.
• If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil up to the upper
level on the dipstick.
Oil change
• Empty the fuel tank.
• Unscrew the oil filler cap.
• Place a suitable vessel to collect the oil in.
• Drain the oil by tipping the engine so that the oil runs
out through the filler pipe. Ask where you can dispose
of surplus engine oil at your local petrol station.
• Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See
instructions in the section "Technical data".
