Storing; Service - Murray EC370 Assembly And Owner's Manual

Storing

The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the machine for storage.
• Clean the machine as described in the previous section.
• Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Maintenance
section).
• Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials,
such as fertilizer or fuel.
• Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
The handle may be folded away completely for storage. (See Figure 17).
Note: Option only available in 37cm model.
• Switch off the mower and disconnect the plug from the mains.
• Release the handle locks on the sides of the handle to unlock, and fold the upper handle
down.
• Release the lower handle locks to unlock and disengage the cams from the mounting
bracket. Fold the lower handle forward. Make sure not to bend or kink the power cord.

Service

Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a
qualified service technician. For service we suggest you return the product to your nearest
Authorized service centre for repair. When servicing, use only genuine replacement parts.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the motor free of grass, leaves, and debris build-
up.
• Check the blade and motor mounting bolts for proper tightness frequently. Visually
inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, or worn).
• For best and safest performance, maintain the mower with care. Keep the mower blade
sharp and clean. Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the equipment is in safe
