8. MAINTENANCE

8.3 Cleaning

It is important to keep R40Li clean. A mower with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a brush and a spray with water.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean R40Li. Solvent must never be used when cleaning.

Underframe and blade disc

1.Set the main switch to the 0 position.

2. Wear protective gloves.

3.Lift R40Li onto its side.

4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using, e.g. a dish-brush.

At the same time, check that the blade disc rotates freely in relation to the foot protection cover.

If long blades of grass or other objects find their way in, these may impede the blade disc. Even a slight braking effect leads to a higher consumption of energy and longer mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the mower from being able to mow a large lawn.

Chassis

Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with a damp cloth.

Wheels

Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as well as the rear wheel support unit.

Body

Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body. If the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up liquid.

Charging station

Clean the charging station regularly from grass, leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede docking.
