CLEANING
Wash the appliance thoroughly with water before it is used,
remove any grass and mud from inside – this will prevent dirt
from drying inside the appliance and problems the next time the
appliance is started.
One or two times a year, remove the gear housing and use a
brush or compressed air to clean the space around the belt
pulleys and drive belts.
Once in a season, you should clean the inside of the driving
wheels. Disassemble both wheels. Remove grass and dirt off
the geared wheels and their edges using compressed air or a
brush.
