CLEANING AND STORAGE
Warning! Be sure the tool is unplugged.
Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the mower and inside of
guard before storage. Store under cover. See MAINTENANCE section.
NOTE: Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such
storage can cause rapid corrosion to metal parts.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that greatly accelerate
the corrosion of metals. If you use the tool in areas where fertilizers or
chemicals have been used, the tool should be cleaned immediately
afterwards. Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth. You may lubricate only
metal parts with a light petroleum based oil. Do not lubricate wheels.
Cleaning out the underside of the mower is done easiest immediately after
mowing (ENSURE MOWER IS UNPLUGGED AND BLADE HAS
STOPPED). A rag, crumpled newspaper or paper towels, can be used to
wipe out caked clippings. A clean mowing deck improves the efficiency of the
blade and maintains high performance. When cleaning, DO NOT immerse
tool in water or squirt it with a hose or pressure washer. Use only mild soap
and damp cloth to clean the mower. Never let any liquid get inside the
mower; never immerse any part of the mower into a liquid.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER

ON THE MOWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT.
