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?


Well, that's about 5:2 against, by my reckoning! Will have to have a think about it...

FYI I always do scrape it down after use - does anyone not do so?

Once every five years whether it needs it or not. ;-). Mine isn't a hover
mower however.
