Maintenance
WARNING
When the key is in the plug receptacle, the mower is operational.
Someone could accidentally start the mower, causing serious
injury to you or to bystanders.
Remove the key from the plug receptacle when you leave the
mower unattended, even for a short period of time.
Cleaning the Mower Housing
Before cleaning the mower, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and remove the key from the plug receptacle.
NOTICE! Do not spray or pour water on the mower when cleaning.
Moisture can get trapped in the mower and cause corrosion of
internal parts.
Cleaning after Each Use
•
Clean the underside of the mower housing. Be particularly careful
to keep the front cavity clear of all grass clippings and debris.
Remove dirt and grass clippings with a hardwood scraper. Avoid
burrs and sharp edges.
•
Brush all grass clippings and debris off the top of the mower
housing after every use.
Cleaning after Each Season
•
Remove the top shroud and clean out any grass clippings and
debris from underneath it and around the battery with compressed
air, a vacuum cleaner, or a brush.
NOTICE! Do not use metal objects to clean around the battery.
If metal objects contact the positive and negative posts at the
same time, this may short out the battery. The battery or the
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
•
Check for any discolored or charred wires and battery and switch
contacts. If any are damaged, contact an Authorized Service
Dealer for repair.
Maintaining the Blade
Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without
tearing or shredding the grass blades like a dull blade does.
WARNING
If the key is plugged into the plug receptacle, someone could
accidentally start the mower, causing serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to inspect, remove, or replace the blade without
first removing the key from the plug receptacle.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can cause serious
personal injury.
Always wear gloves or wrap the sharp edges of the blade with a
rag.
1.

2.

3.

4.
Remove the blade by turning the blade bolt counterclockwise

Note: Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or a thickly padded
glove.
