WARNING!
Dangers when cleaning!

During all cleaning work:

Switch  off  the  engine  and  remove

the ignition key.
Remove the spark plug connector.
Protective  devices  removed  for

cleaning  must  be  reinstalled  after-

wards.
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not clean

the  lawn  tractor  until  it  has  cooled

down. The engine, transmission and

silencer get very hot!
DANGER  OF  LACERATIONS:

When working on the cutters, pay at-

tention  to  the  sharp  blades.  In  mo-

wers with more than one blade, mo-

ving one cutter can cause the other

to move as well!

Cleaning the grass catcher

To do this, remove the grass catcher and clean it

by spraying inside and out with water from a hose.

Firmly  adhering  contamination  must  be  scraped

off carefully, such as by using a brush. Especially

in grass catchers with a fabric covering, take care

not to damage the fabric.

ADVICE

Empty the grass catcher before cleaning

as 

"Rasentraktor  reinigen"

  described.  A

full  grass  catcher  is  too  heavy  to  be  re-

moved safely.

Removing a grass catcher

1. Switch off the engine.
2. Tilt the grass catcher slightly.
3. Remove the grass catcher upwards.

Removing an electrically operated grass

catcher

1. Switch off the engine.
2. Make sure that the electrically operated grass

catcher is closed.

3. Tilt the grass catcher (approx. 30°).
4. Remove the grass catcher upwards.

Cleaning the deck, engine and transmission

Do  not  use  water  or  a  high-pressure  cleaner  to

spray down the engine or any of the bearing points

(wheels, transmission, blade bearing).
Water penetrating the ignition system, carburettor

and air filter can cause malfunctions. Water in the

bearing points can lead to loss of lubrication, and

thus cause irreparable damage to the bearings.
Use a cloth, hand brush, long-handled paintbrush

or similar for removing dirt and grass residues.

CAUTION!
Damage  to  the  electrical  system  by

penetrating water!

Take care when cleaning the tractor with

water  to  ensure  that  no  water  gets  into

the electrical system!

Cleaning the discharge channel

Regular  cleaning  ensures  that  the  cutting  height

adjustment can be moved easily.
The discharge channel consists of two parts pus-

hed one inside the other. The lower part is firmly

engaged in the lower deck. The upper part can be

pulled out for cleaning.
1. Remove the grass catcher.
2. Remove the screws (17a) on the left and right

of the discharge channel.

3. Pull  the  discharge  channel  through  the  back

wall and out to the rear.

4. Thoroughly clean the upper and lower disch-

arge channel.

5. Insert  the  discharge  channel  into  the  back

wall. When doing this, make sure that the up-

per  and  lower  parts  fit  neatly  one  inside  the

other.

6. Screw  it  on  tight  using  the  two  fastening

screws.

7. The grass catcher can be reinstalled.

Cleaning the mowing system

There are connections for a half-inch water hose

coupling  (18a)  on  the  mower  deck.  The  mowing

system  can  be  cleaned  by  connecting  a  water

hose.
The grass catcher or a suitable accessory such as

a  deflector  must  be  installed  during  the  cleaning

process.
1. Connect  the  water  hose  to  the  lawn  tractor

(18a) and turn on the water.

2. Start the engine and set it to a medium engine

speed.

3. Lower  the  mower  mechanism  to  the  lowest

cutting height.

4. Switch on the mower mechanism.
5. The  mowing  system  will  be  cleaned  within  a

few minutes.

6. Switch off the mower mechanism.
