MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE MOWER
W A R N I N G
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to
water. The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use,
because grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate, which
will cause rust and corrosion.
Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover
(do not use water).Occasionally wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. If
debris builds up on the underside of the mower during use, stop the motor,
disconnect it from the battery, and then tilt the mower on its side, and scrape
it clean using an appropriate tool.
STORING THE MOWER
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for
storage.
• Clean the mower as described in the previous section.
• Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required, refer to the
Maintenance section.
• Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive
materials, such as fertilizer or rock salt.
• Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings
trap moisture around the mower, which causes rust and corrosion.
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location.
• Remove the battery and store in a secure location out of the reach of
children.
W A R N I N G
