10.1 Cleaning the mower housing
Dirt deposits make the start difficult, affect the quality of the cut and the discharge of the grass.
Dirt and grass residues are easiest to remove immediately after the mowing. To avoid fouling
the floor, the underside must be cleaned on the grass.
 Remove the mulching plug / grass
catcher.
 Fit the hose connector to the lawn
mower and turn on the water tap.
 Start the lawn mower and switch it off
again after about 30 seconds. The
rotating blade bar will throw the water
onto the underside of the lawn mower
and thus clean it.
 Turn off the water tap and remove the
hose connector.
 Clean the top with a cloth (do not use
any sharp objects).
10.2 Cleaning
Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud
accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next start-up difficult.
The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of
the cut
grass; in this case, intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to
prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the screws and clean around the transmission
and drive belts with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels should be cleaned internally. Remove both wheels.
Clean the gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt using a brush or compressed
air.
10.3 Changing the blade
To replace the blade, undo the screw. Empty the oil tank before removing the blade.
Install a new blade as showed in fig. 5 tighten the screws properly. Tightening torque 45Nm.
