Servicing Double-insulated
Mower
In a double-insulated mower, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
mower, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the mower. Servicing a double-insulated mower
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
mower must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated mower is marked with the words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE
INSULATED." The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the mower.
