body of your mower. Advice relating to the
blades is given in "Maintenance of blades".

!
which shows signs of damage. Fit a new

Always keep your mower clean and free
from grass cuttings, especially the
underside of the cutter deck and the air
vents.
•
Check all electrical cables at regular
intervals, looking for signs of wear,
abrasion or other damage.

At the end of each cutting session we
recommend that the build up of grass on

removed using a blunt scraper.
