    4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and original performance of the machine unchanged in time. Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, maintenance or adjustment operation on the machine. Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next start-up difficult.
