in place and working. Never operate the mower
with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury.
The trailing shield is subject to wear and
damage, which could expose moving parts
or allow objects to be thrown. For safety
protection, frequently check the trailing
shield and replace it immediately with only
the identical replacement part. Contact SKIL
service center for support.
1. Remove the battery.
2. Turn the mower on its side with the upper surface against a wall.
3. Remove the three screws with a screwdriver, then remove the trailing shield (Fig. 33).
4. Replace with a new trailing shield.
Storing the Mower
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
1. Remove the battery pack from the mower and store the battery pack at room temperature
in a dry location.
2. Clean the mower as described earlier in the maintenance section.
3. Inspect the blade and replace it or sharpen it if required.
4. Lubricate the mower.
5. Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such
as fertilizer or rock salt.
6. Store the mower in a covered, enclosed space, that is cool and dry and out of the reach of
children.
7. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture
around the mower, which causes rust and corrosion.
The handle assembly can be folded away completely for storage:
1. Remove the grass bag.
2. Move the cutting-height adjustment lever toward the front and engage it in the lowest
setting.
3. Open the handle-locking clamps and fully recess the side rails to the compact position.
4. Gently pivot the handle toward the front of the mower; turn the handle adjustment knob to
lock the handle in the locked storage position. Make sure that the lock pin has engaged in
the locked storage position.
