GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.

Never use a hose, water, or any liquids to clean the
lawn mower, as water can damage electronic

on or around the motor cover. Wipe the mower clean

Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness
to ensure safe operation of the mower.
