9. CLEANING
Warning! Anytime when possible, clean the equipment immediately after the use.
Neglecting regular cleaning and maintenance can result in a damage of the equipment or its
malfunction.
Warning! Mind a risk of injury during maintenance and cleaning of the knives. Therefore
use protective gloves!
Note: Anytime when possible, clean the equipment immediately after the use.
Take-of the collection box if used. Empty it and clean after each use.
Always put the equipment aside on a solid surface and cog the wheels so that accidental
starting cannot occur.
Incline the equipment forwards.
Clean the bottom part of the cover around the blades and the safety cover with the help of a
wooden scraper or a rough brush. Never rinse the aerator with water!
Put the equipment back onto all four wheels, clean the exhauster and remove grass or other
dirt.
Storage
Store the garden verticutter in a dry and dust-free place out of the reach of children.
When storing for a longer time, for example in winter, make sure the equipment is protected
against frost and corrosion.
At the end of the season or if not using for longer than one month:
- Clean the verticutter.
- Wipe all metal surfaces by a cloth saturated with oil so that they are protected against
corrosion (anticorrosion oil) or spread fine oil film on them.
- Fold the handle down and store on an appropriate place.
