Maintenance and Care

General
• Always keep the mower clean and free of grass clippings.
• After each cutting session, scrap or blast with water the built
up grass from the underside of the blade housing.
• Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
cleaning fluids on plastic components.
• Check all nuts, bolts and screws before each use.
• Store the mower in a dry area.
Blade Maintenance

grass. Deterioration in the quality of cut indicates blade wear
or damage. Follow these steps to determine if the blade needs to
