Cleaning
Winter Storage / Storage longer than 30 days
After each work, clean the machine from dirt and grass residues. Wipe the appliance using a brush and wipe with
a cloth, or use a leaf blower. Never use pressure washers, their use can void the warranty for the machine or the
accessories.
The prescribed regular maintenance to be performed at the recommended service intervals, replacing of the worn
or damaged parts if needed and having repairs and maintenance of the machine performed at the Swardman service
department or at the service partner before winter storage will extend the machine lifetime and reliability.
When working with the machine and also with the verticutter / scarifier cartridge, grass box
should always be installed as it also serves as a protective cover. When working with the rotary
brush cartridge always use the metal cover and a magnetic shield.
Before storing the machine, observe the following:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine. Remove all stuck grass residues
2. Check the mechanical parts
3. Make sure all the bolts and nuts are tightened
