CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the lawn tractor
In order to work properly, the lawn tractor must be cleaned regularly.
After each use, clean adhering residue from the lawn tractor and the
grass box.
GB
Grass box
Take the grass box off the lawn tractor.
The gas springs must be removed before you can take the
27
grass box off the lawn tractor.
Clean the fabric sack from the outside with a jet of water.
If necessary, also clean the inside of the fabric sack with a
brush.
Housing / engine / transmission
The engine and all the bearings (wheels, transmission, blade bearings
etc.) must not be cleaned with water, in particular not with a high-
pressure cleaner.
Any water penetrating into the ignition unit, into the carburettor and the
air filter can cause damage. Water in the bearings can lead to a loss of
lubrication and thus to the destruction of the bearings.
To remove dirt and residue of grass, use a cloth, a hand-held
sweeper, a long-handled brush etc.
Electrical unit
Do not clean the electrical unit with water. Penetration
of water into the electrical unit (switch, display, cable,
operating elements etc.) can lead to damage.
Discharge channel
The ease of movement of the adjustment of the cutting
42
height is guaranteed by regular cleaning.
The discharge channel comprises two parts pushed into one
another.
The lower part is firmly attached to the mower housing.The
upper part can be removed for cleaning.
The grass box must be taken off before you can remove the
discharge channel.
Remove screw connection
discharge channel.
Attention!
There is a shim under each screw.
Pull discharge channel
wall. Thoroughly clean the upper and the lower discharge
channel.
The discharge channel is put back in reverse order.
Replacing and resharpening the mowing
blade
At the end of the mowing season always resharpen the mowing blade
or, if required, replace the mowing blade with a new one.
Always have the mowing blade resharpened or replaced by a customer
service centre (measurement of imbalance).
Unbalanced blades will cause the lawn mower to vibrate violently –
risk of accident!
