Keeping Engine Clean

Remove all grass and debris from the engine including

use. Never spray the engine with water during cleaning.

Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the
deck housing immediately after use.
Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive.
Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after
use on treated grass and store well away from corrosive
materials.
