CLEANING GUIDELINES
ATTENTION: Do not use solvents, chemicals or abrasives when cleaning the machine, as some
surfaces may be damaged.
•
Wear gloves or use suitable tools to assist in cleaning, do not use bare hands.
•
Clean the machine after every use to ensure best performance and longest service life.
•
It is recommended to jack the machine up when inspecting or working on the underside of the deck. Avoid tilting
the machine to avoid potential fuel or oil spills or leaks.
•
Use a slightly damp cloth, water and mild detergent for cleaning.
•
Use a brush for parts that are difficult to reach.
•
Ensure air vents and surfaces designed for heat dissipation are clean and free of obstructions or debris.
•
Remove clippings, dirt etc from the underside of the deck and cutting blades (the deck wash function on some
models assists this procedure).
•
It is recommended to lightly oil the cutting blades after each use to help prevent corrosion.
•
Ensure all chutes and flaps are clean and not obstructed.
•
Ensure that spring-loaded parts, such as the rear guard, return to the normal position when released.
•
Clean and check the grass catcher for any damage, replace damaged parts. Allow the grass catcher to dry
thoroughly before storing to prevent mildew or deterioration of the catcher netting (where applicable).
•
Ensure that all control cables, levers, switches etc are clean and operate normally and smoothly.
