MAINTENANCE

Before performing any maintenance or cleaning the lawn
mower, make sure the mower blades come to a complete
stop and the batteries and start key are removed to avoid
accidental starting and possible serious personal injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
Never use a hose, water, or any liquids to clean or rinse
off the lawn mower. Corrosive liquids, water, fertilizers,
and chemicals used to treat lawns can enter the lawn
mower and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and
serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of grass
and leaves on or around the mower housing and/or
underneath the mower deck. Wipe the mower clean with
a dry cloth occasionally.
NOTICE
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged,
missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts,
caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and
do not operate this product until all missing or damaged
parts are replaced. Please contact customer service or
a qualified service center for assistance.

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.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which can result in serious personal
injury.

Replacing the Cutting Blade

See Figures 13 - 15.
NOTE: Only use authorized replacement blades.
 Stop the motor and remove the start key. Allow blade to
come to a complete stop.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Turn the mower on its side.
 Wedge a block of wood between the blade and mower
deck to prevent the blade from turning.
 Loosen the blade nut by turning it counterclockwise (as
viewed from bottom of mower) using a 15 mm wrench
or socket (not provided).
 Remove the blade nut, spacer, blade insulator, and blade.
 Make certain the blade holder and motor shaft bushing
are pushed completely against the motor shaft.
 Place the new blade on the blade holder. Ensure blade
is properly seated with shaft going through center blade
hole and the two blade posts inserted into their respec-
tive holes on the blade. Make sure it is installed with the
curved ends pointing up toward the mower deck and
not down toward the ground. When seated properly, the
blade and blade holder should be flat against the motor
shaft bushing.
 Replace the blade insulator and spacer, then thread the
blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten.
NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact
order in which they were removed.
 Torque the blade nut down clockwise using a torque
wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is properly
tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is
350-400 in. lbs.
