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

deck wash

function on

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.

• Always transport the machine with the fuel tap and engine ON / OFF switch (where

applicable) in the "OFF" position. • Drain the fuel tank before transportation or storage.

Preparing for Transport and Storage

Drain the fuel system by allowing the engine to run until it stops.

•

Ensure that the fuel tap (if applicable), engine ON/OFF or key switch (where applicable) is in the "OFF"
position.

Avoid exposing the equipment to direct sunlight, particularly during transportation.

•

Ensure the equipment is secure and upright during transport.

•

Store the unit 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.
