Maintenance + Care
mWARNING! Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting
the mower, disconnect the power supply by plugging out the
safety key and verify that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
General
• Always keep the mower clean and free of grass, dirt or
other debris.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
• After each cutting session, remove accumulated grass
clippings and debris using either a dry cloth or handbrush.
You may also clean the equipment with a damp cloth and
some soft, non-abrasive soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or harsh solvents as they may damage the equipment's
plastic components. Make sure that no water penetrates
the equipment's interior as intake of water can destroy the
switch/plug mechanism and the electric motor.
• Do not clean the lawn mower with running water,
particularly with high-pressure water.
• Check all nuts, bolts and screws for proper tightness
before each use.
• Frequently inspect the grass collection bag assembly for
signs of wear and replace immediately with a genuine

part if damage is found.
• Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
• To maximize your mower's longevity, all screwed parts,
including the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and
lubricated. There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance or lubrication.
