CleasisgMower
• Clean underside of the mower deck after each use to prevent build-up of grass clippings or other debris. Follow
the steps below for this job.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure washers or garden hose to clean your unit. These may cause
damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened
life and reduce serviceability.

2. Tip the mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Hold the mower firmly.
,_ WARNING: Never tip the mower more than 90 degrees in any directions and do not leave the mowertipped for any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
3. Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable tool. Do not spray with water.
4. Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you had put plastic under the gas cap earlier, make sure to
remove it now.
