Cleaning
Caution! Always clean the application after use. Failure to carry out proper cleaning
can result in damage to the application or cause it to malfunction.
Warning! Injury can occur during work on the tines. Wear protective gloves.
Whenever possible, clean the application straight after you have finished working on
the lawn.
Clean the underside of the housing around the tines and the protective shield and
fender with a scrubbing brush, and brush or soft cloth dampened with a mild soap
and water mixture. Never splash with water!
To remove soil and debris from the tines and transmission, use a stiff brush or a
dampened cloth.
Clean the ventilator, and remove any remaining grass or dirt.
Once cleaned, wipe the tine and shaft dry and apply a light coat of oil.
