13.1 Clean lawnmower

Cleaning with a garden hose is only recommended at low pressure. A high-pressure cleaner is not suitable for cleaning the lawnmower. Unhook the grass collection basket (16) and brush it out with a hand brush. You can also roughly clean the housing of the lawnmower with the sweeper. For larger soiling, you can wipe the lawnmower with a damp cloth. Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank fully with a fuel scavenge pump (not included in the scope of de- livery). Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.11GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

1. It is best to tilt the lawnmower backwards. Make sure

that the spark plug (12a) is pointing upwards. If the spark plug (12a) points downwards, oil can leak out and cause major damage to the engine and carburettor.

2. Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you must

make sure that the air filter cover (9) is on the upper side.

3. Clean the underside of the lawnmower with a spatula

and hand brush. The spatula helps to remove coarse and larger plant debris from the area of the blades (19). Cleaning the underbody is easier and more thorough immediately after use. Then dirt and plant residues are still fresh and can be loosened more easily.

4. If necessary and if the dirt is difficult to remove, you can

also use a special cleaner. Do not use aggressive clean- ing products such as cold cleaners or white spirit.

5. Check that the grass ejection is clear of grass residues

and remove these if necessary.

16.5 Maintenance of the air filter (9a) (Fig. 14)

m DANGER! Risk of fire and explosion! If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can lead to severe burns or death. - Clean the air filter (9a) only by knocking it out. - Never clean the air filter (9a) with petrol or flammable sol- vents. NOTE! Risk of damage! Operating the engine without the filter element in place can cause engine damage. - Never run the engine without the air filter element in place. Fouled air filters (9a) diminish the engine output due to re- duced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air filter (9a) should be checked every 25 operating hours and cleaned as required. The air filter (9a) must be checked more often in case of very dusty air.

1. Take off the air filter cover (9) and remove the air filter

2. Clean the air filter (9a) only by knocking it out.
