ASHING THE INSIDE OF THE CUTTING DECK
The machine has to be put on firm ground with the stone-guard or grass-catcher
in position. Washing the inside of the cutting deck and the collector channel is
done by attaching a water hose to the connector (1) and running water through
for a few minutes, with:
– the operator seated;
– the engine running;
– the drive in neutral;
– the parking brake on;
– the blade engaged.
When washing, the cutting deck should be in the
fully lowered position.
Take off the grass-catcher, empty and rinse it, and
then put it in a position to assist quick drying.
S
TORAGE AND INACTIVITY FOR LONG PERIODS
If the machine is likely to be unused for a long period (more than 1 month),
disconnect the cables from the battery and follow the instructions in the engine
manual. Lubricate all joints as directed in chapter 6.
Carefully remove any dry
grass cuttings which may have collected
around the engine or silencer to prevent their
catching fire the next time the machine is
used!
Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the tube
situated at the inlet of the fuel filter (1) and follow
the instructions in the engine booklet.
The battery must be kept in a cool and dry place. Before a
long storage period (more than 1 month), always charge the battery, and then
recharge before using again (chapter 6).
The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks from the
tubes, fuel cock or carburettor.
