BATTERY
=Recharge the battery to a full charge. Do not store mower with a discharged battery. Battery failure will occur in a very short time if mower is stored without having a full charge. We recommend that you charge battery continuously while in storage and during the off season.
OTHER
=If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and dirt+
•Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do
not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and will cause your unit to rust.
