CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
• 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.
