Lubrication

No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the
wheels. They have plastic bearing
surfaces which require no lubrication.

Cleaning

A STOP AND THEN UNPLUG MOWER!
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the mower. Clean out any clippings
which may have accumulated on the
underside of the deck. After several uses,
check all exposed fasteners for tightness.

the corrosion of metals. If you mow in
areas where fertilizers or chemicals have
been used, the mower should be cleaned
immediately afterward as follows: (1) Be
sure the tool is turned off and unplugged.
(2) Wipe all exposed parts with a damp
cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY
WATER ON THE MOWER IN AN
ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT.
do not store the tool on or adjacent to
fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can
cause rapid corrosion.

Storage

Your mower should be stored in a dry
place.
