STORAGE

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.
STORING THE MOWER
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
• Clean the mower as described in the previous section.
• Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Maintenance section).
• Lubricate the mower (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 rock salt.
• Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover the
lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower,
which causes rust and corrosion.
The handle may be folded away completely for storage.
• Lift up the cam locks on the sides of the handle to unlock, and fold the upper handle
down.
• 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.
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every
two months when not in use in order to increase its life.
• Remove the key and store in a secure location out of the reach of children. Removal of the
battery is not required for storage.
WARNING
This battery must be charged when in storage to maintain running life.
