Caring for your Lawnmower
• It is very important that you keep your lawn-
mower clean. Grass clippings left in any of the
air intakes or under the hood could become a
potential fire hazard
Cleaning (Q)
1. Remove grass from under the hood with a piece of
wood or similar.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from all
air intakes.
3. Remove the cutting head, (see fig K), to gain
access to the fan and clean with a soft brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth.
• IMPORTANT: Never use water for cleaning your lawn-
mower. Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or
solvents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace plastic cutters, bolts, nuts or screws, if necessary.
2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.
3. Ask your local Service Centre to clean the air filter thor-
oughly and carry out any service or repairs required.
4. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
Carrying your Lawnmower: Hold as illustrated in
Figure R. Ensure the blade is facing away from you.
Storing your Lawnmower (S): Store in a dry place
where your lawnmower is protected from damage.
