MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE MOWER
W A R N I N G
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water.
The underside of mower d eck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, d irt
and other debris will accumulate causing rust and corrosion.
• Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water).
Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
• If debris build up on the underside of the unit while in use, stop the motor and disconnect
it from the power supply. Tilt the mower forward, or on its side, and scrape it clean with an
appropriate tool.
STORING THE MOWER
The following steps should be taken to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
• Make certain the power cord is disconnected.
• Clean mower as instructed in previous section.
• Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required. Refer to the Maintenance section.
• Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer
and rock salt.
• Wipe extension cord to remove any foreign substances such as oil or stains. Replace
extension cord if cut or damaged in any way.
• Wind cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it from tangling.
• Store mower indoors,in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover lawn
mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower causing
corrosion.
The handle may be folded away completely for storage.
(See Figure 2)
• Lift up the cam locks on the sides of the handle to unlock, and fold the upper handle down.
• Loosen the handle knobs, pull outwards on each side of the lower handle, and lift the sides
of the lower handle past the edges of the handle mounting brackets. Fold the lower handle
forward. Make sure not to bend or kink the power cord.
