STORAGE
Storage Safety
Always shut off the mower, wait for all moving parts
to stop, remove the electric start button and allow the
mower to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or
storing it.
Preparing the Mower for Storage
•
Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the
mower.
•
On the last refuelling of the year, add fuel stabiliser
to the fuel as directed on the label.
•
Dispose of any unused fuel properly. Recycle it
according to local authority guidelines.
IMPORTANT: Old fuel in the fuel tank is the leading
cause of hard starting. Do not store the fuel without
fuel stabiliser more than 30 days, and do not store
stabilised fuel beyond the duration recommended by
the fuel-stabiliser manufacturer.
•
Run the mower until the engine shuts off.
•
Start the engine again and allow it to run until
it shuts off. When you can no longer start the
engine, it is suffi ciently dry.

•
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
•
Remove the electric start button from the electric
starter and store it in a memorable place.
•
Remove the spark plug, add 30 ml (1 fl oz) of
engine oil through the spark-plug hole, and pull the
engine start cord slowly several times to distribute
oil throughout the cylinder to prevent cylinder
corrosion during the off-season.
•
Loosely install the spark plug.
•
Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
•
Lubricate the mower and treat metal parts with a
water repellent anti-corrosion product.
•
Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store
it in a dry, ventilated area.
Storage
When storing your mower away, ensure that cables do
not become snagged at the pivot points. Disengage
the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged
through potential contact with the engine.
To store the handle, unscrew the two securing hand
bolts suffi ciently, to allow it to be pivoted forwards to
rest against the mower.

Battery Pack & Charger Storage
When not in use, disconnect the battery and store in
a cool, dry area. Wet, damp areas can cause corrosion
of terminals and electrical contacts. If stored for
long periods in high temperatures (120° F / 49° C),
permanent damage to the battery pack can result.
Check electrical terminals and contacts on battery
packs and charger. Wipe with clean cloth or blow clean
with compressed air.
After storage, a normal charge may be required. To
check available charge, press the Battery Charge
Gauge button (E) and charge if required. Refer to
Before Operation - Battery Charge Gauge.
