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 Y-1over a nail or

 

 

round shank screwdriver Y-2, clamped horizontally in a vise Y-3. If

 

 

either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly

 

 

balanced when neither end drops.

 

 

LUBRICATION

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 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 fertilizersor 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.

WARNING: Mower should not be lifted by the handle when in storage position. Use the metal side plates and deck as grab points.
