Cleaning

       CAUTION -

DO NOT

 use a hose pipe or 

pressure washer to clean the engine. Water 
can damage the engine or contaminate the 
fuel system.

• Wipe the deck with a dry cloth.

• You can hose under deck by tilting the 
mower. Make sure you tilt the machine so that 
the air filter is facing up. 

NOTE 

Engine must be switched off and plug 

lead disconnected.

• You must remove grass and mud from inside 
the deck to prevent it from drying. This will 
cause problems the next time the lawnmower 
is used.

• Dry the machine completely to prevent any 
rust forming. You can use a light oil or
silicone spray to prevent rust.

• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic 
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to 
damage from various types of commercial 
solvents and may be damaged by their use.

• Pores in the grass collector can become 
filled with dirt and dust during use and will 
collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly 
hose the collector off with water and let to dry 
before using.

      CAUTION -

DO NOT

 use a hose pipe or 

pressure washer to clean the engine. Water 
can damage the engine or contaminate the 
fuel system.

Storage

      CAUTION -

 When storing the machine, 

make sure it has been cleaned as in the 
previous section. You can use a light oil or 
silicone spray to coat the equipment.

NOTE - 

If storing the lawn mower for a period 

of 30 days or more, you must follow proper 
storage and winterisation guidelines to avoid 
any possible issues with your lawn mower.
Incorrect storage can lead to possible fueling 
or engine issues that will not be covered by 
the warranty.

The following steps should be taken to 
prepare your lawnmower for storage.

1. Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank and then 
run the lawn mower until it has completely run 
out of fuel to clear the remaining fuel from the 
fuel lines and carburetor.

2. Drain the oil from the engine as set out on 
page 27.

3. With the lawn mower drained of all fluids, 
follow the cleaning instructions as set out in 
the previous section.

4. Follow the maintenance section and check, 
service or replace serviceable items if 
required. Check the blade to make sure that 
it is ready for the following season – This will 
allow you to get it sharpened correctly. Use a 
light oil or silicone spray to help prevent the 
blade from rusting.

5. Using a silicone spray grease, lightly coat 
the lawn mower blade to prevent possible 
rusting during storage.

6. Using a silicone spray grease, lightly grease 
all moving parts on the lawn mower.

7. Refill engine oil and replace with new 
SAE 30 or15w40 engine oil, fill to the upper 
mark on the dipstick.
