Caring for your Lawnmower
Cleaning
IMPORTANT: It is very important that you keep your lawn-
mower clean. Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes
or under the hood could become a potential fire hazard.
USE GLOVES.
Switch off and remove the plug from the mains before cleaning.
It is recommended that you clean your lawnmower
straight after mowing while the grass is still wet.
1. Remove grass from under the hood with a piece of
wood or similar. (V1)
2. Remove the fan and clean with a soft brush. (V2)
3. Lever the rollers out of position and clean with a soft
brush. (V3)
4. Using a soft brush, remove grass clippings from:
• all air intakes (V4)
• grassbox (V5)
• inside of grassbox lid (V6)
• fan inlet (V7)
5. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth.(V8)
• IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do not
clean with chemicals, including petrol, or solvents -
some can destroy critical plastic parts.
Cable Storage
1. Your mains cable can be stored on the product as il-
lustrated in Fig W.
2. Wind cable carefully to avoid kinking.
3. To release the cable pull the hook away from the handle.(W1)
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace blade, bolts, nuts or screws, if necessary.
2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.
3. Ask your local Service Centre to clean the air filter thor-
oughly and carry out any service or repairs required.
Storing the la
wnmower

1. Hold onto the lower handle with your left hand as illus-
trated in Fig.X.
2. Hold the upper handle with your right hand and push in
the direction of the arrow.
3. Move the handle slowly forward to rest it on the lawn-
mower (Y). Do not drop the handle.

tected from damage.
