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.
• 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.
• Lift up the cam locks on the sides of the handle to unlock and fold the upper handle down.
• Loosen the handle knobs, push inwards on each side of the lower handle, and lift the sides of
the lower handle past the edges of the handle mounting brackets. Fold the lower handle forward.
Make sure not to bend or kink the power cord.
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry location.
Service
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a qualied 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.
• When servicing the mower, use only replacement parts that are available from the manufacturer.
In order to obtain replacement parts, call 1-888-356-2258. The use of parts that do not meet the
original equipment specications 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 lubricating and changing accessories.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• In order to reduce the risk of re, 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.
