- Clean the equipment before putting it away to prevent
caking of grass residue, which is pesky to remove.

Note:
Store the batteries as indicated in the specific
battery manual (BM46-36V, "GL-3609 User manual") or in
the engine's manual (BM46-82V and Instart models).
Caution!
Do not store the lawn mower in sunlight or at home because
petrol vapours may leak out.
