MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE MOWER
WARNING: 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 forward
or 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).
• Lubricate the mower.
• 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.
The handle may be folded away completely for storage. (See Figure 2-3)
• Lift up the nuts on the sides of the upper handle to unlock and fold the upper handle down.
• Loosen the foldable release handle on each side of the mower. Lift the sides of the lower
handle past the edges of the handle mounting brackets. Fold the lower handle forward.
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every
two weeks when not in use to increase its life.
• Remove the battery and store in a secure location out of the reach of children. Removal of the
battery is not required for storage.
WARNING: This battery must be charged when in storage to maintain running life.
