Warning!
Do not use an extension cable
which shows signs of damage. Fit a new
cable completely - do not make any
permanent or temporary repairs.

Always keep your mower clean and free
from grass cuttings, especially the
underside of the cutter deck and the air
vents.

Check all electrical cables at regular
intervals, looking for signs of wear,
abrasion or other damage.

At the end of each cutting session we
recommend that the build up of grass on

removed using a blunt scraper.

Clean all plastic components with a
damp cloth.
