1. It is best to tilt the lawnmower backwards. Make
sure that the spark plug (16a) is pointing upwards. If
the spark plug (16a) points downwards, oil can leak
out and cause major damage to the engine and car-
burettor.
2. Alternatively, you can tilt the product on its side, but
you must make sure that the air filter cover (12) is
on the upper side.
3. Clean the underside of the lawnmower with a spatu-
la and hand brush. The spatula helps to remove
coarse and larger plant debris from the area of the
blade (27). Cleaning the underbody is easier and
more thorough immediately after use. Then dirt and
plant residues are still fresh and can be loosened
more easily.
4. If necessary and if the dirt is difficult to remove, you
can also use a special cleaner. Do not use aggres-
sive cleaning products such as cold cleaners or
white spirit.
5. Check that the grass ejection is clear of grass resi-
dues and remove these if necessary.
12.2 Cleaning the lawnmower via the
water connection(14) (Fig.1,16)
NOTE
Push the spark plug connector onto the spark
plug properly again.
1. First remove the mulching insert (26) or the grass
collection basket (23).
2. For cleaning, connect a garden hose to the water
connection (14) via the built-in plug-in coupling.
3. Turn on the water and start the lawnmower (see ).
4. The rotating blade (27) swirls the water.
5. After a few minutes, the lawnmower is free of all ad-
hering dirt and grass residues.
6. Allow the lawnmower to run for a short time without
water to remove most of the moisture through the
circulating air of the blade (27).
12.3 Cleaning the V-belt(32) (Fig.17)
1. Tilt the lawnmower backwards.
2. Use a brush or compressed air to clean the V-belt
(32) after each use.
