9. Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance and repairs
Before beginning cleaning, adjustment, repair and
maintenance operations, park the machine on firm,
level ground, engage the parking brake, stop the en-
gine, allow it to cool down and remove the ignition
key.
Allow the machine to cool down before working on or
around the engine, exhaust manifold or muffler; this
also applies in particular to all maintenance opera-
tions on the mowing deck. Temperatures of 80 °C and
above can be reached.
Danger of burns!
Direct contact with engine oil can be dangerous. En-
gine oil must not be spilled.
Cleaning:
Following operation, the entire ride-on mower and the
attachments must be cleaned. In particular, all grass
residues must be removed because the moisture
these contain leads to damage in the long term.
SCHEPPACH does not recommend the use of high
pressure cleaners.

Clean the device with water as follows.
• Place the hose connection piece onto the water
connection (4) of the mower and open the tap.
• Start the mower and switch off again after about 30
seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water
onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off the tap and remove the hose connection .
• Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp
objects).
Note: Dirt and grass is easiest to remove immedi-
ately after you have finished mowing the grass. Dried
on grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing per-
formance. Check that the grass chute is free of any
residual grass. Remove any such residue.
Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high-
pressure cleaner. The engine must remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold
cleaner or petroleum ether.
Never drive close to an edge or a ditch for the purpose
of cleaning (e.g. the frame of) the ride-on mower.
In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the engine,
cooling ribs, battery compartment, area around the
fuel tank and exhaust free from grass, leaves or es-
caping oil (or grease).
Always clean the grass catcher box.
