Cleaning 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.
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every
three months when not in use in order to increase its life.
• Remove the battery and store in a secure location out of the reach of children.
This battery must be charged every 3 months while in storage to maintain maximum capacity.
NOTE: Refer to figure 11.

• Lift the mower by the front end to the vertical position.

position.
When storing vertically, ensure the location is out of reach of children.
