Maintenance And Storage - Makita UM401DW Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
1. REMOVE KEY. Store it in a safe place out of the
reach of children.
2. Clean your mower using only mild soap and a
damp cloth. Do not spray or pour water on your
mower when cleaning.
3. Turn mower on its side and clean grass clippings
that have accumulated on the underside of mower
deck.
4. Check all nuts, bolts, knobs, screws, fasteners,
etc. for tightness.
5. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage, and
wear. Have repairs made on any damaged or
missing parts.
6. Recharge the batteries to a full charge. Do not
store mower with discharged batteries. Battery
failure will occur in a very short time if mower is
stored without having a full charge. We recom-
mend that you charge batteries continuously while
in storage and during the off season.
7. Store mower indoors in a cool, dry place. Don't
store the mower and charger in locations where
the temperature may reach or exceed 40°C
(104°F).
CAUTION:
Always be sure that charger is unplugged and discon-
nect charging plug from the mower before attempting
to perform inspection or maintenance.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by
Makita Authorized Service Center.
