Cleaning Guidelines
Do not use solvents, chemicals or abrasives when cleaning the machine, as some surfaces may be
damaged. • Wear gloves or use suitable tools to assist in cleaning – do not use bare hands. • Clean
the machine after every use to ensure best performance and longest service life. • It is recommended to jack
the machine up when inspecting or working on the underside of the deck. Avoid tilting the machine to avoid
potential fuel or oil spills or leaks.
Use a slightly damp cloth, water and mild detergent for cleaning.
Use a brush for parts that are difficult to reach.
Ensure air vents and surfaces designed for heat dissipation are clean and free of obstructions or debris.
Remove clippings, dirt etc from the underside of the deck and cutting blades (the
some models assists this procedure).
It is recommended to lightly oil the cutting blades after each use to help prevent corrosion.
Ensure all chutes and flaps are clean and not obstructed.
Ensure that spring-loaded parts, such as the rear guard, return to the normal position when released.
Clean and check the grass catcher for any damage – replace damaged parts. Allow the grass catcher to dry
thoroughly before storing to prevent mildew or deterioration of the catcher netting (where applicable).
Ensure that all control cables, levers, switches etc are clean and operate normally and smoothly.
Transportation and Storage
Always ensure that the machine is cool enough to touch before transporting or
storing. • Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or
other ignition sources.
Preparing for Transport and Storage
•
Clean the equipment before transport or storage.
•
Disconnect the spark plug lead.
•
Store the equipment in a dry, well-ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
Long Term Storage
Follow the normal procedures for storage, then:
•
Drain the fuel system. It is advised to have the fuel tank as empty as possible before draining.
a. Unscrew (rotate left) the carburettor drain plug. Use a suitable container to catch the draining fuel,
and allow the fuel to drain. Store the drained fuel in a properly sealed container.
b. Re-install (rotate right) the carburettor drain plug and tighten.
•
Remove the spark plug and put 30ml of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to
distribute the oil. Re-install the spark plug.
•
Cover the equipment to protect it from dirt and dust.
