CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STORING THE MOWER:
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
•
Clean the mower as described in the previous section.
•
Inspect the blade and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Replacing the cutting blade
section).
•
Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertiliz-
er or rock salt.
•
Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover the lawn
mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which causes
rust and corrosion.
•
The handle may be folded away completely for storage (see Figure 3). Ensure that the handles
"click" or lock into place in the storage position.
•
Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location.
STORAGE SWITCH:
When the handle is rotated into the fully locked storage position, the mower is equipped with a
storage switch (O) that will disable the mower from running in the storage position. The storage
switch (O) does not replace the need to remove the battery to prevent accidental start-up or
unauthorized use.
