CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always remove battery when servicing or transporting the mower.
• 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, chute 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.
