7.1 Cleaning
The lawn mower should be thoroughly cleaned
after every use, especially the underneath and
the blade mount. To do so, tip the lawn mower
onto its left side (the opposite side to the oil
filling socket).
Important: Before you tip the lawn mower onto
its side, completely empty the fuel tank using a
petrol suction pump. The lawn mower must never
be tilted by more than 90 degrees. Dirt and grass
is easiest to remove immediately after you have
finished mowing the grass. Dried on grass and
dirt can result in poorer mowing performance.
Check that the grass chute is free of any residual
grass. Remove any such residue. Never clean the
lawn mower with a water jet or high-pressure
cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaner
or petroleum ether.
