Maintenance and Care

General

• Always keep the mower clean and free of grass clippings.
• After each cutting session, scrape or blast with water the 

built up grass from the underside of the blade housing.

• Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents 

or cleaning fluids on plastic components.

• Check all nuts, bolts and screws before each use.
• Store the mower in a dry area.

Blade Maintenance

The steel blade is designed to provide a fine cut in long or 
tough grass. Deterioration in the quality of cut indicates blade 
wear or damage. Follow these steps to determine if the blade 
needs to be repaired or replaced: 

1.

 

Disconnect

 the electrical supply to the mower.

2. 

Turn the mower on its side so the underside of the 
blade housing is exposed.

3.

  Check the blade.

a.

  If the blade is blunt or has minor wear, then  

re-sharpen.

b. 

If the blade has major wear or damage  
(i.e.: gouged, bent), replace. Please call Sun 
Joe customer service (1-866-766-9563) for 
assistance.
