Cleaning and General Mainte-
nance Work
Tip the Equipment:
To clean the underside of the equipment,
tip the equipment backwards on the upper
handle bar (2).
To prevent the equipment from tipping
back,
- remove the grass collection box
( 20) if it is installed,
- adjust the cutting height to position 7
(33) and
- set the upper handle bar (2) to around
5° in the direction of the equipment
(see "installing the handle bar").
Do not squash the Bowden cables (4)
when doing this.
Risk of injury if the equipment
tips back.
To prevent operating fluids from
leaking out, do not lie the equip-
ment on its side.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a toothbrush or cloth but no
corrosive cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use water to clean the engine as
it could contaminate the fuel system.
• After mowing, remove plant remains
that are stuck to the equipment by us-
ing a piece of wood or plastic. Clean
the vent holes, ejection hole and
blade area especially. Do not use hard
or pointed objects, which could dam-
age the equipment.
• Oil the wheels from time to time.
• Before each use, check the lawnmow-
er for obvious defects such as loose,
