Caring for your Lawnmower

Cleaning

IMPORTANT: It is very important that you keep your lawnmower clean. Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes or under the hood could become a potential fire hazard. USE GLOVES

2.Remove the blade, see Figure L, to gain access to the fan and clean with a soft brush. (S)

all air intakes (T)

grassbox (U)

IMPORTANT

Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or solvents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
