CLEANING
ENGLISH
CLEANING
To avoid personal injury:
A
Do not clean the machine with engine running.
A
Be sure to set the parking brake during
cleaning.
CLEANING WITH WATER
The use of a high pressure cleaner is not recommended.
However if you use one, take care not to splash water on
engine parts such as the air filter, exhaust muffler, battery.
Do not direct jet towards hydraulic elements.
CLEANING THE GRASS CATCHING
CONTAINER
The grass catching container must be cleaned after each
use in order to allow optimum evacuation of air. This is
done with a water jet.
A cutting system with a properly maintained collection
container will cut and collect grass more efficiently.
CLEANING THE MOWING SYSTEM
After each use, carefully clean the mowing deck,
particularly underneath. Switch the engine off before
cleaning your machine.
The inside part of the mowing system can also be cleaned
with water through the discharge duct.
Remove the grass container to access the discharge duct.
Operate the mowing system for a few minutes after
cleaning.
A
If the mower was used under very difficult conditions
(very wet grass, mowing in a very low position), it may
be necessary to remove the cutting deck to clean it. At
the same time, you should take the opportunity to
check the condition of the blades, belts and bolts and
replace them if needed.
To avoid serious injury or death:
A
Do not clean the mower deck without the Grass
Catcher attached.
To avoid personal injury:
A
Clear the work area of objects which might be
picked up and thrown by blades.
A
Keep bystanders and animals away from the
mower deck.
A
Be sure to disengage the PTO and sit on the
operator's seat before starting the engine.
A
Be sure to set the parking brake during
cleaning.
