For best results, mower blade must be kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged blades.

CLEANING

Release Operator Presence Control Switch to turn mower off, wait for the blade to stop, and unplug mower!

Turn off, let the blade come to a stop and then unplug mower!

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.

PREVENTING CORROSION

CAUTION: DO NOT pour or spray water on the mower.

Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion.
