1. Disconnect the power supply to the lawn mower.
2. Clean the lawn mower with a damp cloth or hand brush.
3. Inspect the lawn mower carefully for worn, loose, or
damaged parts. Check connections and screws and
tighten if necessary. Pay special attention to the mower
blade and replace/sharpen if it shows signs of wear. Refer
to the Maintenance section.
4. Store the lawn mower indoors in a dry, clean, and cool
area out of the reach of children. Do not store the unit next
to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and rock salt.
5. Wipe the extension cord to remove any foreign
substances, such as oil or stains. Replace the extension
cord immediately if it is cut or damaged in any way.
6. Wind the cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it
from tangling.

Plastic coverings trap moisture around the lawn mower,
which can damage the unit.

compact storage or hanging. Follow the instruction below.
