Maintenance & Storage

1.REMOVE KEY. Store it in a safe place out of the reach of children.

2.Clean your mower using only mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not spray or pour water on your mower when cleaning.

3.Turn mower on its side and clean grass clippings that have accumulated on the under- side of mower deck.

4.Check all nuts, bolts, knobs, screws, fasteners, etc. for tightness.

5.Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage, and wear. Have repairs made on any dam- aged or missing parts.

6.Recharge the batteries to a full charge. Do not store mower with discharged bat- teries. Battery failure will occur in a very short time if mower is stored without having a full charge. We recommend that you charge batteries continuously while in storage and during the off season.

7.Store mower indoors in a cool, dry place. Don’t store the mower and charger in loca- tions where the temperature may reach or exceed 40°C (104°F).

CAUTION:

Always be sure that charger is unplugged and disconnect DC output plug from the mower before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
