• Regularly check the grass collector and empty it before it becomes completely full to maintain optimal cutting performance and prevent blockages.

WARNING: Always disconnect the mower from the power supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning tasks.

6.1. Puhdistus

• After each use, clean the mower deck, grass collector, and wheels.

• Ensure all ventilation openings are clear of debris to prevent overheating.

6.2. Blade Inspection and Care

• Regularly inspect the cutting blade for wear, damage, or imbalance. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting performance and increased motor strain.

• Terää käsitellessä on aina käytettävä tukevia käsineitä.
