Help in case of malfunction

IMPORTANT! Damage due to penetrating
water! Water in electrical and electronic compo-
nents leads to short circuits and damage. Water
in mechanical components can lead to loss of lu-
brication and damage.
■
Do not allow water to penetrate the electrics/
electronics during cleaning.
■
In particular, do not use a high-pressure
cleaner or garden hose.
8.2.1 Removing and emptying the grass
catcher
Empty the grass catcher before cleaning (see
chapter 6.9 "Emptying the grass catcher",
page 44). A full grass catcher is too heavy to be
removed safely.
1. Remove the grass catcher.
2. Spray the grass catcher inside and out with a
water hose.
3. Carefully scrape off any firmly adhering dirt,
e.g. with a brush.
Note: Take particular care not to damage the
fabric on grass catchers with a fabric cover-
ing.
4. Hook in the grass catcher again.
8.2.2 Cleaning the housing and operating
elements
Use a cloth, hand brush, long-stemmed brush or
similar to remove dirt and grass residues.
8.2.3

Cleaning the discharge channel

Regular cleaning of the discharge channel en-
sures that the cutting height can be easily adjust-
ed.

1. Put on protective gloves and do not reach in-
to the cutting blades during cleaning.
2. Clean the mower deck with a hand brush, a
brush or a wooden stick.
8.3

Maintaining the cutting blades

Make sure that the cutting blade remains sharp
for the entire mowing season to avoid shredding
or tearing the blades of grass. Shredded grass
blades turn brown on the edges. This reduces
their growth and leaves the lawn prone to diseas-
es.
■
Check the cutting blade for sharpness and
signs of wear or damage after each use. If
necessary, contact the manufacturer's ser-
vice centre.
■
When replacing the blades, only use original
replacement blades (for a list of original re-
placement blades: see technical data). The
use of non-original spare parts will void the
warranty and may result in damage to the
ride-on mower as well as serious injury.
9 HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION
CAUTION! Risk of injury. Sharp-edged
and moving appliance parts can lead to injury.
■
Always wear protective gloves during mainte-
nance, care and cleaning work.
