Before cleaning the mower, ensure the throttle lever is in the 'STOP'
position. Turn the fuel tap off, disconnect the spark plug lead and wedge
it well away from the spark plug, and remove the battery on Instart
models.
• Remove grass build up from the air intakes on the top of the mower cowl, around the
engine and carburettor, and around the air filter body.
• The underside of the mower should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grass build
up; any build up will adversely affect grass catching and mulching performance and can
promote corrosion on steel baseplates.
• When cleaning the underside of the mower, always tilt handle back to ground level so
the front wheels are off the ground and spark plug is pointing to the sky. Tilting in other
direction can cause the oil to contaminate the fuel & damage air filter causing starting
difficulties.
• A hose may be used on the underside of your mower ONLY. Care must be taken to NOT
get water into the engine, as it may damage the magneto or get into the fuel system.
• If your mower is fitted with a washport, simply
attach a garden hose whilst the engine is running
and turn on the water.
• To prevent chassis corrosion, the underside of your
mower should be cleaned immediately after mowing
an area which has been recently dressed with
sulphate of ammonia or fertiliser.
• After cleaning, run the engine briefly to dry
off excess moisture before storing.

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits
to form in the fuel system. Drain the fuel for long term storage.
