BLADE SHARPENING |
|
| |||
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES |
|
|
|
| |
NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY. |
|
|
|
| |
USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND |
|
|
|
| |
INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY AND BATTERY PACK IS |
|
|
|
| |
REMOVED. |
|
|
|
| |
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal |
|
|
|
| |
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more |
|
|
|
| |
frequent sharpening may be required. |
|
|
|
| |
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY. |
|
|
|
| |
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE: |
|
|
|
| |
1. | Make sure blade remains balanced. |
|
|
|
|
2. | Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle. |
|
|
|
|
3. | Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends. |
|
|
| |

BLADE BALANCING |
|
| |
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade |
|
| |
round shank screwdriver |
|
| |
end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly | 1 |
| |
balanced when neither end drops. |

LUBRICATION |
|
| 2 |
No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have plastic |
|
| |
bearing surfaces which require no lubrication. |
|
| |
CLEANING |
|
|
|
Release bail handle to turn mower off, let the blade come to a stop and |
|
| |
then remove safety key and battery pack. Use only mild soap and a damp |
| 3 | |
cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any clippings which may have |
| ||
accumulated on the underside of the deck and in discharge chute. After |
|
| |
several uses, check all exposed fasteners for tightness. Ensure that the |
|
| |
mower battery compartment and terminals are kept clear of debris. |
|
| |
PREVENTING CORROSION |
|
| |
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate 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) Release bail handle to turn mower off and remove safety key and battery pack. (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 | ||
lawn mower on or adjacentto fertilizers or chemicals.Such storagecan cause rapid corrosion. |
|
| |
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE |
|
| |
Rotating blade can cause serious injury. Release bail handle to turn mower off and remove the safety key before lifting,
transportingDANGER:or storing the mower. Store in a dry place. Note: The mower will not be as heavy to lift if the battery pack is removed first. Do not use the latch as a lift point for the mower. Do not lift the mower by the battery handles.
WARNING: Mower should not be lifted by the handle when in storage position. Use the metal side plates and deck as grab points.
