Maintenance - Webb WER21HW Operator's Manual

Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect
less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose the catcher off with water and let it dry before use.
Keep the top of engine around the starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help
engine air flow and extend engine life.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT - Regular, careful maintenance will extend the lifespan of your machine and ensure
that it runs efficiently and safely.
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where vapours may reach a flame,
spark or a source of heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area
free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not store containers full of grass cuttings.
5) For safety reasons, do not use the equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced not
repaired. Use genuine spare parts (blades should always bear the symbol).
Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the equipment and be dangerous for your safety.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is cool.
7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.
8) Check the blade's balance after sharpening.
9) Check the self-closing guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.
10) Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must:
- Wear strong working gloves;
- Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, clear of the blade and taking account of the weight
of the machine and its distribution.
CLEANING
Carefully clean the machine 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.
The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of the cut grass;
in this case, intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to prevent the
formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the screws and clean around the transmission and drive
belts with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels should be cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the gear
wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt using a brush or compressed air.
