11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
11.1 Cleaning
▪ Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
▪ We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using
it.
▪ Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no
water can seep into the device.
Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These
solvents may damage the plastic parts.
11.2 Blade maintenance
▪ Regularly remove grass and dirt from the blade.
▪ At the beginning of the gardening season, carefully examine the condition of the blade.
▪ If the blade is very blunt, sharpen or replace the blade.
▪ If the blade is damaged or worn, fit a new blade.
If the blade is slipping, put the screwdriver into the location hole, tighten the blade by wrench.
Warning! Observe the following precautions:
▪ Be careful not to cut yourself. Use heavy-duty gloves or a cloth to grip the blade.
▪ Only use the specified replacement blade.
▪ Do not remove the impeller for any reason.
11.3 Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade replaced by an authorized professional.
