MAINTENANCE
After each use remove all grass clippings that may have collected in and around the wheels, roller and
blades.
We recommend a regular application of oil or lubricant (i.e. WD-40). This should be applied to all cutting
surfaces, the cutting reel axle shaft and roller and will keep your lawnmower in tip-top condition.
