CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Wipe
the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
• If debris builds up on the underside of the unit while in use, stop the motor and disconnect it from
the power supply. Tilt the mower forward, or on its side, and scrape it clean with an appropriate tool.
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, if required.
•
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.
•
Remove the battery, store it in a cool dry location, if
possible.
Service
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. For service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service center
for repair. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING
•
When servicing the mower, use only replacement parts that are available from the manufacturer.
In order to obtain replacement parts, call the toll-free helpline, at 1-888-356-2258. The use of parts
that do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance, and
may compromise safety.
•
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, verify that the blade and all moving parts have come to a
complete stop. Remove the battery when making any adjustments or when any of the four wheels
must be lifted off the ground.
•
Follow the instructions for changing accessories.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
•
In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the motor free of grass, leaves, and debris build-up.
•
Check the blade and motor mounting bolts for proper tightness frequently. Visually inspect blade
for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, or worn).
•
For best and safest performance, maintain the mower with care. Keep the mower blade sharp
and clean. Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when servicing.
•
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check them regularly for proper operation.
•
After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage.
Repair any damage before operating the mower.
