BLADE BALANCING
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade R-1 over a nail
or round shank screwdriver R-2, clamped horizontally in a vise R=3. If
either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly
balanced when neither end drops.
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have plastic
bearing surfaces which require no lubrication.
CLEANING
Release bail handle to turn mower off, let the blade come to a stop and
then remove safety key and battery pack. Use only mild soap and a
damp cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any clippings which may have
accumulated on the underside of the deck. After several uses, check all
exposed fasteners for tightness. Ensure that the mower battery
compartment and terminals are kept clear of debris.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you mow in areas where fertilizers or
chemicals have been used, the mower should be cleaned immediately afterward as,_ollows: (1) Release bail handle to turn mower off and
remove safety key and battery pack. (2) Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth. _.v CAUTION: DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON
THE MOWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT. Do not store the toot on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
/_ DANGER:
Rotating blade can cause serious injury. Release bail
handle to turn mower off and remove the safety key before lifting,
transporting or storing the mower. Store in a dry place. Note: The mower
will not be as heavy to lift if the battery pack is removed first. Do not use
the latch as a lift point for the mower.
STORAGE POSITION
For more compact storing the mower can be stored in an upright
position, with the handle folded over as shown in figure S. The mower
can also be charged In this upright position.
Loosen the two lower knobs S=1 and lower the handle section S=2 into
place. Be careful not to pinch power cord. Tighten the two lower knobs
and stand the mower upright so that it rests on its handle and back
wheels and the blade side is against a wall.
/_ CAUTION:
Pinch point. To avoid being pinched, keep fingers away
from area between handles when lowering.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
1. In warmer climates to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended
that the battery be maintained on constant charge.
2. The mower may be stored with the charger disconnected if all of the
following conditions are met.
- the battery is fully charged before storing. (Failure to store fully
charged will shorten battery life).
- the average temperature of the storage location is below 50°F (10°C).

BATTERY SERVICE AND INSTALLATION
When service or repair is required, it is recommended that you take your
mower to an authorized Black & Decker Service Center.
When servicing or replacing batteries, please note:
• Use only the same type and size of battery as originally supplied.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. See Battery Recycling information below.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
THE RBRC
TM
SEAL (BATTERY RECYCLING)
The RBRC
TM
(Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the lead acid battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to
recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal
to place spent lead acid batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to
facilitate the collection of spent lead acid batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the lead acid
battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1=800=544=6986.
