Step 1 - Cleaning

NOTE! To ensure the best performance of your lawnmower, it is important to keep it clean.
Always clean your lawnmower immediately after use.
WARNING! Do not allow grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on any of the
mower surfaces. This will directly affect the cutting and grass collection performance. Make sure
that the underside of the lawnmower deck is clean and clear.
WARNING! Never turn the mower upside down.
IMPORTANT! Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side, completely empty the fuel tank using
a petrol suction pump.
WARNING! Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high-pressure cleaner. The engine
must remain dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaner or petroleum ether.
