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 (refer to the Replacing the cutting blade
section).
•
Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertiliz-
er 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. Ensure that the handles "click" or lock into
place in the storage position.
•
Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location.
STORAGE SWITCH:
When the handle is rotated into the fully locked storage position, the mower is equipped with a stor-
age switch that will disable the mower from running in the storage position. The storage switch does
not replace the need to remove the battery to prevent accidental start-up or unauthorized use.
