MOWER CLEANING
For engine cleaning, remove the ignition key and wait
With the mower tilted the carburettor must always point upwards. Always clean the mower with engine off.
FURTHER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR ADVICE
Always wear protective gloves when handling the blades (during checking or cleaning operations).
Regularly check that the grass collection device is in good condition.
Due to the risk of fire it is essential that both the engine and exhaust are kept free of grass, leaves or any combustible material!
For safety reasons always replace used and or damaged parts immediately (by an authorized dealer).
Do not hose the engine casing from the outside to prevent any water getting onto the spark plugs or carburettor causing damage.
Use cloths or brushes to clean away any dirt of grass residue.
lFrequently check the blade for damage.
lThe lawn mower must be checked by a SERVICE DEALER.
STORAGE
Never store your mower with petrol in the tank in places where petrol vapours could come into contact with naked flames or sparks.
Before storing the mower in a closed room allow the engine to cool!
In any event never leave the machine unattended and with ignition key inserted in the ignition block.
