STORAGE
20
IMPORTANT: This battery must be charged when in storage to maintain running life.
Dispose of batteries according to local by-laws because this Lead-acid batteries
contain lead and sulphuric acid that are hazardous materials.
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
1. Clean the mower as described in the previous section.
2. Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Maintenance section).
3. Lubricate the mower (refer to the Maintenance section).
4. Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer or rock salt.
5. 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.
6. The handle can be folded away completely for storage. Loosen the hand knobs on the sides of
the handle, and fold the upper handle down. Loosen the lower knobs, push each side of the lower
handle inward, and lift the sides of the lowerhandle past the edges of the handle mounting
brackets. Fold the lower handle forward. Be careful not to bend or kink the power cord.
7. Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every two
weeks when not in use in order to increase its life.
