Cleaning
Caution!
Clean the appliance after every use.
Failure to clean the appliance can
damage the materials and cause
malfunctions. Do not use high-
pressure media for cleaning.

all other cutters to move at the same
time. Clean with caution.

The appliance must be tilted back on
its back wheels only. This prevents
fuel or oil from damaging the engine.

wheels, and remove all visible
grass residue and other soiling.
