MAINTENANCE
STORING THE MOWER
• Remove the safety key and batteries from the mower.
• Turn mower on its side and clean grass clippings that have accumulated on the underside of the
mower deck.
• Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth.
• Check all nuts, bolts, knobs, screws, fasteners, etc., for tightness.
• Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage, and wear. Have repairs made on any damaged or
missing parts.
• Store mower indoors in a clean, dry place out of the reach of children.
• Do not store near corrosive materials such as fertilizer or rock salt. To lower the handle before
storing:
- Loosen the locking knobs on both sides of the handle and fold the upper handle down.
- Push inward on each side of the lower handle, and lift the sides of the lower handle past the
edges of the handle mounting brackets (Fig. 17).
- Fold the lower handle forward, making sure not to bend or kink the power cord.
