CLEANING
Wash the deck. Never use a high-pressure water cleaner to wash out the engine compartment; use compressed
air or a vacuum cleaner.
LENGTHY PERIODS IN STORE
The machine should be stored in a dry place protected from the weather; cover it with a sheet of canvas if
possible.
If it is to be out of use for more than 1 month, disconnect the red battery lead and follow the instructions in the
engine handbook also lubricate all the joints.
Check the battery voltage periodically, ensuring that it does not drop below 12,5 Volts. If this occurs, charge the
battery.
Use the preservative additive for unleaded petrol.
If the machine is to be out of use for more than 30 days, drain the fuel from the engine to prevent sticky deposits
from forming in the fuel intake system or in vital parts of the carburettor.
To protect the engine, we advise you to use the Briggs & Stratton fuel additive, available from all Briggs & Stratton
authorised service centres. Add the additive to the fuel in the tank or in the fuel container. Run the engine a little
to circulate the additive through the carburettor. The engine and carburettor can be stored for up to 24 months.
N.B.: If no additive are used or the engine is running on petrol which contains alcohol, drain the fuel tank and run
the engine until there is no fuel left.
TRANSPORT
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, lower the deck, engage the parking brake and ensure that the
mower is secured to the conveyance by means of ropes, cables or chains.
IMPLEMENTS
SIDE DISCHARGE KIT
If you do not want to collect the grass, the cutting deck is planned to lodge the side discharge baffle (fig. 25 "A").
Unhook the doorstop and put the baffle; please remember to check that it is well locked.
MULCHING KIT
This is for cutting and shredding grass 10/12 cm high. This operation is best done with dry grass as the turbulence
inside the deck mulches it better.
It is advisable not to stop the machine after cutting but to continue for a few minutes over the already cut lawn to
discharge the grass from inside the deck.
The kit is made of a closing lid which has to be fitted, and of a mulching blade which has to be changed with the
deck blade with collection.
