6.8 Washing and cleaning the machine.
Cleaning and washing the machine, proceed to observe valid regulations and
legislation on the protection of water courses and other water resources against
pollution or contamination with chemical substances.
Never wash the engine with a stream of water! Electric equipment might fail when
starting the engine.
All dirt, debris and plant residues should be removed from the machine after the end of
the season. Check the intactness of working blades, sharpen cutting edges (or replace the
blades if necessary) and conserve the blades with conservation oil. Travel wheels should be
dismounted from the axle once in a season, cleaned and the hubs inside filled with a new
filling of plastic lubricant.
The engine must be switched off and the cable termination to the spark plug
disconnected!
Procedure of wheel disassembly, lubrication and re-assembly:
a) Underlay the machine so that the wheels can freely turn. The machine must be secured
against spontaneous motion.
b) Take out the split pin and screw the slotted nut out by using spanner No. 24. Remove the
wheel from the axis.
c) Clean the wheel hub inside, wheel hub flange with balls and the free wheel from dirt and
old grease.
