When correctly adjusted, drive to the rear roller is engaged when the drive control lever 17 is squeezed against the handle top 1 or disen- gaged when released.

After Mowing/Storage

Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and de- bris, especially from the ventilation slots 8.

Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove with a wooden or plas- tic implement.

Store the lawnmower in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the machine. To save space, fold up the handle fully.

Ensure cables are not trapped when folding/unfolding top handles, do not drop the handles.
