CARE AND MAINTENANCE
‡ Remove the blade nut, the square washer, the
insulator washer, and the blade.
‡ To re-install the blade, position the blade with the
cutting edges toward the ground. Assemble the blade
nut, the square washer, and the insulator washer as
shown. Using a 15-mm socket or wrench, turn the
blade nut clockwise in order to secure the blade.
Note: Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order
in which they were removed. When installing the
cutting blade, verify that it is installed with the curved
ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward
the ground.
Cleaning the mower
WARNING
‡ To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water.
‡ The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
other debris will accumulate causing rust and corrosion.
‡ Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Wipe the
mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
‡ If debris builds up on the underside of the unit while in use, stop the motor and disconnect it from
the power supply. Tilt the mower forward, or on its side, and scrape it clean with an appropriate tool.
Storing the mower
The following steps should be taken to prepare the lawn
mower for storage.
‡ Make certain the power cord is disconnected.
‡ Clean mower as instructed in previous section.
‡ Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required.
‡ Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and rock salt.
‡ Wipe extension cord to remove any foreign substances
such as oil or stains. Replace extension cord if cut or
damaged in any way.
‡ Wind cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it from
tangling.
‡ Store mower indoors in a cool, dry place, out of the
reach of children. Do not cover lawn mower with a solid
plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower causing corrosion.
‡ The handle may be folded away completely for storage.
‡ Lift up the cam locks on the sides of the handle to unlock and fold the upper handle down.
‡
Lift up the cam locks on the side of the lower handle to unlock, pull outwards on each side
of the lower handle, and lift the sides of the lower handle past the edges of the handle
mounting brackets. Fold the lower handle forward. Make sure not to bend or kink the power cord.
