To clean it, there are two ways to tip the deck (body of machine) either
tip it up on the back wheels/roller - completely safe but painful way to
do
it. Or tip it on its side with the air filter up. If you tip it with
exhaust
up you will get oil in the filter and it won't run very well or not start
at
all. If you tip it up with filter side up it will be fine, you may get a
bit
of oil in the exhaust but the smoke will disappear quickly after you have
re-started it.

Thank you, that's a helpful tip.
