MAINTENANCE
• When servicing the mower, use only identical replacement parts that are
available from the manufacturer. In order to obtain replacement parts, call
the toll-free helpline, at 1-800-317-7833. The use of parts that do not meet
the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance,
and may compromise safety.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, verify that the blade and all moving
parts have come to a complete stop. Remove the battery when making any
adjustments or when any of the four wheels must be lifted off the ground.
• Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the motor free of grass, leaves, and
debris build-up.
• Check the blade and motor mounting bolts for proper tightness frequently.
Visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, or worn).
• For best and safest performance, maintain the mower with care. Keep the
mower blade sharp and clean. Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap
the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the equipment
is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check them regularly for proper
operation.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Thoroughly inspect the mower
for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower.
• The grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail shield are subject
to wear and damage, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to
be thrown. As a safety precaution, check these components frequently, and
immediately replace any parts that show signs of wear, or that are cracked
or broken. Use original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) parts only, as
listed in this manual.
• When it is not in use, store the mower indoors in a dry area, and out of the
reach of children.
