screws 21.

sides.

If the mower doesn’t drive adequately it may
be necessary to adjust the drive cable as follow:
Slacken nut 29, turn adjuster 30 a few turns anti-
clockwise.

gaged when released.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly
using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water,
solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and de-
bris, especially from the ventilation slots 8.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the
blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in
the blade area, remove with a wooden or plas-
tic implement.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place. Do not
place other objects on top of the machine. To
save space, fold up the handle fully.
