MOWING
See Figure 23, page v
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones,
sticks, wires, and other objects that could
damage the lawn mower blades or motor.
Such objects could be accidentally thrown by
the mower in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy plot of grass, always cut off
one-third or less of the total length of the
grass blades.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting and
a proper mulching or discharge of the
clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the
underside of the deck (12) and prevent
proper mulching or discharge of grass
clippings.
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause the product
damage.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during the operation of this
mower. If the operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
OPERATION

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

18 ― English
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower
cutting swath.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck (12)
after each use to remove grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated
debris. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The
most effective pattern for mowing lawns is
straight lines parallel to one of the sides.
This will keep the rows even and ensure that
all the lawn is cut without missing any spots
(Fig.23).

AFTER USE

pack (21) and let it cool down.
■ Check, clean and store the mower as
described in Storing The Mower in the Care
And Maintenance section of this manual.
WARNING
Do not use any attachment or accessories not
listed in this manual. The use of attachments
or accessories not listed in this manual can
result in serious personal injury.
■ Do not at any time make any maintenance
to the lawn mower without first stopping
the motor and removing the safety key
and battery pack.
■ Adjust the handle bar or make other
adjustments as illustrated in the manual.
■ Periodically check all screws, nuts and
bolts for proper tightness to insure the safe
operation of the mower.
■ Remove any buildup of grass and leaves
on or around the motor cover and battery
compartment. Wipe the mower clean with a
dry cloth occasionally. Do not use water.
