Maintenance and cleaning

IX. Maintenance and cleaning
• Regular, careful maintenance is required to guarantee the safety level and perfor-
mance of the machine.
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened securely and that the ma-
chine is in safe working condition.
• Routinely check the grass catcher for signs of wear and impaired functionality.
Regularly clean the grass catcher with water and let it dry thoroughly.
• For your own safety, replace worn or damaged parts without delay.
• If the fuel tank should require emptying this should only be done in the open air
using a petrol suction pump (available from DIY shops).
m WARNING
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ignition unit with the engine running.
Always pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting any work of care
or maintenance. Never perform any work on the machine while it is running. Any work
not described in these Operating Instructions must be performed by an authorized
service workshop only. Pay attention to moving knife assemblies.
Cleaning
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned after every use, especially the under-
neath and the blade mount. To remove the grass, tip the lawn mower onto its left side
(the opposite side to the oil filling socket) or clean the mower with water as described
below:
• Remove grass catcher.
• Fit a hose to the hose connection (18) and turn the tap on. (Fig. 23)
• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar
throws the water onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection.
• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).
m Note! Before you tip the lawn mower onto its side, completely empty the fuel tank
using a petrol suction pump (not included). The lawn mower must never be tilted by
more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass is easiest to remove immediately after you have
finished mowing the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing per-
formance. Check that the grass chute is free of any residual grass. Remove any such
residue. 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
