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
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.
• 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.
