MAINTENANCE

1. CLEANING
To ensure the best performance of your lawn mower,
it is important to keep it clean. Always clean your
lawnmower immediately after use. Do not allow grass
cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on
any of the mower surface. This will directly affect the
cutting and grass collection performance. Make sure
that the underside of the lawnmower deck is clean and
clear.
Ensure the discharge chute and grass discharge flap
are clean. The grass catcher must always be emptied
after use. Make sure that the exterior of the engine is
clear of all debris, cuttings and dirt.
