11. STORAGE
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
1. Remove the battery pack from the mower and store it at room temperature in a dry location.
2. Clean the mower as described earlier in the maintenance section.
3. Inspect the blade and replace it or sharpen it if required.
4. Check and lubricate where possible.
5. Store the mower in a dry and clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or
rock salt.
6. Store the mower in a covered, enclosed space, that is cool and dry and out of the reach of children.
7. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower,
which causes rust.
