8. MAINTENANCE
8.3 Cleaning
It is important to keep R40Li clean. A mower with
large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope as well
with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a brush
and a spray with water.
Underframe and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to the 0 position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Lift R40Li onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using,
e.g. a dish-brush.
At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the foot protection
cover.
If long blades of grass or other objects find their
way in, these may impede the blade disc. Even a
slight braking effect leads to a higher
consumption of energy and longer mowing times,
and at the worst will prevent the mower from
being able to mow a large lawn.
Chassis
Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe
with a damp cloth.
Wheels
Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as well
as the rear wheel support unit.
Body
Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body.
If the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use
a soap solution or washing-up liquid.
Charging station
Clean the charging station regularly from grass,
leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede
docking.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never use a high-pressure washer or even
running water to clean R40Li. Solvent must
never be used when cleaning.
