MAINTENANCE
Before each mowing session unplug the mower and ensure that the blade has
stopped. Check all nuts, bolts and screws to ensure proper tightness, Be sure to
check the blade fastening system.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified
service organizations. Use only identical replacement parts.
Inspect and thoroughly clean your mower at the beginning of each mowing season
for longer life and better performance.
From time to time turn the mower off and wait for the blade to stop. Then unplug
the power cord and turn the mower on its side. Using an object such as a stick or
rag, wipe out any accumulation of grass in the blade area. Also clean out any
grass or debris which may be packed around the discharge/mulch door area. Be
careful of the sharp edges of the blade.
