5.4.2 Washing the inside of the cutting deck
The machine has to be put on firm ground with the
stone-guard or grass-catcher in position. Washing
the inside of the cutting deck and the collector
channel is done by attaching a water hose to the
connector (1) and running water through for a few
minutes, with:
– the operator seated;
– the engine running;
– the drive in neutral;
– the blade engaged.
HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
When washing, the cutting deck should be in the fully lowered position. Take off the
grass-catcher, empty and rinse it, and then put it in a position to assist quick drying.
5.4.3 Storage and inactivity for long periods
If the machine is likely to be unused for a long period
(more than 1 month), disconnect the cables from the
battery and follow the instructions in the engine manual.
Lubricate all joints as directed in chapter 6.
! WARNING! Carefully remove any dry grass
cuttings which may have collected around the
engine or silencer to prevent their catching fire
the next time the machine is used!
Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the tube situated
at the inlet of the fuel filter (1) and follow the instructions in the engine booklet.
IMPORTANT The battery must be kept in a cool and dry place. Before a long
storage period (more than 1 month), always charge the battery, and then recharge
before using again (chapter 6).
The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks from the tubes,
