Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the machine directly after use. It is much easier to wash off grass cuttings before they dry.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Always park the machine on a level surface with the engine OFF before performing any maintenance.
Oily dirt can be removed using a cold degreasing agent. Spray on a thin layer.
Rinse at normal water pressure.
Do not direct the jet towards electrical components or bearings.
Do not rinse hot surfaces such as the engine and exhaust system.
It is recommended that you start the engine and run the mower for a short period after cleaning, so that any remaining water is blown off.
Lubricate the machine if necessary after cleaning. Carry out extra lubrication when the bearings have been exposed to a degreaser or a water jet.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Avoid using a high pressure washer or a steam cleaner. There is a major risk of water penetrating into bearings and electrical connections.
Corrosion attack can result, which will lead to running problems. Cleaning additives generally aggravate the damage.
