MAINTENANCE - All mowers
Cleaning
To ensure safe operation and long life it is recommended to clean the mower after
every use. This will prevent corrosion, overheating and fire risk while ensuring
ultimate performance.
Cleaning the Underside of the Mower
CAUTION
Always ensure the engine is stopped and the spark plug lead is removed
before attempting any maintenance on the mower.
Place the mower outdoors on a flat surface.
Set the cut height to maximum.
With the engine stopped, remove the grass catcher or mulch plug and lift open
the discharge flap.
Use a garden hose to wash out all the grass clippings.
Inspect the underside and repeat the cycle if still not clean.
CAUTION
Do not hose the engine as water can damage the air cleaner and ignition
system
Cleaning the Upper side of the Mower
Use a dry rag or soft brush to remove all loose clippings.
Use a damp rag with mild detergent to clean away oil or other grime.
Wash the grass catcher and/or mulch plug separately from the mower with a
hose. Wash all clippings out of the inside, outside and from the grass catcher
mesh.
Let the mower dry before storing.
