NOTE: Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order in which they were removed. When installing
the cuttingblade, verify that it is installed with the curved ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not
toward the ground.
CLEAN THE MOWER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water.
The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt 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.
