(e.g. speed control lever, bearings of
hand levers) with Bio-lubricating grease
or Bio-lubricating oil.
Cleaning
Cutter Bar
After each mowing operation, clean cut-
ter bar thoroughly with water. Above all,
remove dirt collected between knife
blades. For this purpose, remove mow-
ing knife. After cleaning, oil or grease
all gliding parts with Bio-lubricating oil
or Bio-lubricating grease.
Mowing Drive and Machine
After cleaning with pressure washer im-
mediately lubricate rocker arm bearing
on mowing drive and lubrication points
on the machine and operate mowing
drive for a short time to press out pen-
etrated water. Apply grease generously
to leave a grease neck around bearing
to prevent water, plant sap and dirt from
penetrating.
Engine
Clean engine only with a cloth. Avoid
spraying with water jets, as water might
penetrate into ignition and fuel system
and cause malfunctions.
