CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE CUTTER SUPPORT
When finished using the machine, the cutter support must be cleaned thoroughly. In order to perform this operation,
follow the procedure below.
1‐ Tip the machine forward and rest it gently on the floor.
2‐ Remove any residual grass and soil and clean the unit thoroughly with compressed air.
3‐ Remove the two screws to detach the pin
4‐ Remove the cutter (see the section entitled "INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE CUTTER").
5‐ Unscrew the support's stopper screw.
6‐ Extract the support, the spring and the spacer and then remove the sphere.
7‐ Clean everything with compressed air, removing any residual soil and grass, and use a good solvent to clean away any
greasy residues.
8‐ Clean all of the components with a good solvent and lubricate each piece thoroughly. Apply water‐repellent grease to
the cutter's shaft.
9‐ Reposition the sphere and insert the spacer, the spring and the support into the shaft. The spring must be positioned
with its loose end downwards, or rather facing the support. Screw the support's stopper screw back in and reinstall the
cutter.
