MAINTENANCE will accumulate, which will cause rust and corrosion. Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Occasionally wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. If debris builds up on the underside of the mower during use, stop the motor, disconnect it from the battery, and then tilt the mower forward or on its side, and scrape it clean using an appropriate tool. WARNING: This battery must be charged when in storage to maintain running life. STORING THE MOWER The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage. • Clean the mower as described in the previous section. • Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Maintenance section). • Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rock salt. • Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. 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 may be folded away completely for storage. • Remove the battery, store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every two months when not in use in order to increase its life. 15
