Well, I'd not say you should use the highest pressure on old plastic as its
very brittle. As long as you do not get it in the aire inlets, usually
protected by foam, you will probably get away with it. There should not be
any ingress from the bottom, unless they hav changed, being visually
impaired I've mown into puddles and all sorts in the past! The bloomin thing
still carried on. However really and I'm sure somone will point this out one
should really clean the crud after use when its soft and remove it from
around the main bearing as well, though I suppose this might remove some of
the grease there., brobably not as much as a pressure washer might do!

Looking at the years of buildup of crud underneath the 'skirt' of my
electric Flymo, I was just wondering whether using a pressure washer to
clean it down occasionally would be as potentially foolhardy as it sounds,
or whether the electrics are IP protected from moisture underneath anyway?
I've never dismantled one to find out - anyone know?
