Carry out maintenance and
cleaning work strictly with the
engine switched off and spark
plug connectors removed. Risk
of injury!
Allow the equipment to cool be-
fore any maintenance and clean-
ing work. Elements of the engine
are hot. Risk of burning!
Wear gloves when handling the
blade.
For cleaning and maintenance
work, also observe the Briggs &
Stratton instruction manual sup-
plied.
We recommend contacting an au-
thorised Briggs & Stratton dealer for
maintenance work on the engine.
You can find a dealer near you

Cleaning and General Mainte-
nance Work
Tilt the device back for cleaning
and maintenance jobs at the bot-
tom side so that the spark plug
faces upwards.
Make sure that a second person
holds the device because there is a
danger of tipping backwards.
Do not tilt the equipment sideways
or forwards. Operating fluids could
leak out and the engine could be
damaged.
