underside of the deck. After several uses, check all exposed fasteners for

 

 

 

 

tightness.

 

 

 

 

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. (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. Donot store the tool on or adjacent to fer-

tilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion.

DANGER: Rotating blade can cause serious injury. Release bail handle to turn mower off and remove the safety key before lifting,

 

transporting or storing the mower. Store in a dry place.

 

 

 

 

STORAGE POSITION

 

 

 

 

For more compact storing the mower can be stored in an upright position,

 

 

 

 

with the handle folded over as shown in figure Q. The mower can also

 

 

 

 

be charged in this upright position.

place. Be careful not to pinch power cord. Tighten the two lower knobs

 

 

 

 

and stand the mower upright so that it rests on its handle and back

 

 

 

 

wheels and the blade side is against a wall.

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: Pinch point. To avoid being pinched, keep fingers away

 

 

 

 

from area between handles when lowering.

 

 

 

 

OFF-SEASON STORAGE

 

 

 

 

1. In warmer climates to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended

 

 

 

 

 

that the mower battery be maintained on constant charge.

 

 

 

 

2. The mower may be stored with the charger disconnected if all of the

 

 

 

 

 

following conditions are met.

 

 

1

 

 

- the battery is fully charged before storing. (Failure to store fully

 

 

 

 

charged will shorten battery life).

 

 

 

 

 

- the average temperature of the storage location is below 50°F (10°C).

 

 

 

 

 

- storage duration is less than 6 months.

 

 

 

 

SERVICE AND INSTALLATION

 

 

 

 

When service or repair is required, it is recommended that you take your

 

 

1

 

mower to an authorized Black & Decker Service Center.

 

 

 

 

When servicing or replacing batteries, please note:

 

 

 

 

•

Use only the same type and size of battery as originally supplied.

 

 

 

 

•

Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. See Battery Recycling information below.

 

 

•

Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

•

Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The

 

 

battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

 

 

 

 

THE RBRC™ SEAL (BATTERY RECYCLING)

 

 

 

Pb

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the lead acid battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to

 

recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lead acid batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to

facilitate the collection of spent lead acid batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the lead acid bat- tery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call1-800-544-6986
