MAINTENANCE AND STOARGE
Before beginning:
• Make sure direction control switch is in neutral (N) position and blade engage knob is down.
• Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking pedal.
• Raise the height of the cutting deck to its highest position.
To make side-to-side adjustment:
• Position the blades so that the ends point toward the sides of the mower.
• On the outside edge of each blade, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the side of the blade
to the ground. If the distance between the two sides is greater than 3 mm, a side-to-side adjustment is
necessary.
• On the side you wish to adjust, loosen the jam nuts as shown.
• Turn the adjustment nuts clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the side of the cutting deck.
Each full turn of the adjustment nut will change the deck height approximately 5mm.
NOTE:
If raising the side, you will need to turn the top adjustment nut first. If lowering, turn the bottom nut
first.
• Measure again. Continue to adjust and measure until the difference between the distance on each side
is 3 mm or less.
• Proceed to front-to-back adjustment or retighten jam nuts to secure.
To make front-to-back adjustment:
NOTE:
Always level the deck side to side before making a front to back adjustment.
• Position the blade nearest the side discharge chute so that the ends now point toward the front and
back of the mower.
• Measure the distance from the tip of the blade to the ground. For best results, the front tip of the blade
should be from 3 to 10 mm lower than the rear tip.
• If front-to-back adjustment is needed, turn the adjustment nuts clockwise to raise or counterclockwise
to lower the back of the cutting deck. Each full turn of the adjustment nut will change the deck height
approximately 3 mm.
NOTE:
Make sure to turn the adjustment nuts on both sides equally to prevent throwing the side-to-side
measurement off again.
• Measure again to verify the front tip is now 3 to 10 mm. lower than the rear tip. If not, continue to adjust
and measure until they are.
• Without moving the adjustment nuts, retighten the jam nuts to secure the adjustment nuts in place.

STORING THE MOWER
The following steps should be taken before storing the mower for the season.
• Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover. Wipe the mower clean with a
dry cloth. Do not spray with a garden hose to clean.
• Fully charge the mower before long time storage.
• NOTE:
If possible check the battery capacity each month, charge the mower if the battery volume is
lower than 30%.
• Store mower in a clean, dry place that is inaccessible to children. Do not store near any appliance that
operates with flame such as a gas water heater, clothes dryer, or furnace.
NOTE:
Do not leave the key in the mower during storage.
• If the mower must be stored outside, make sure it is covered completely to protect it from the elements.
• Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and deicing salts.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
The following steps should be taken before using the mower after it has been stored:
• Review maintenance chart.
• Fully charge the batteries.
• Check tyre pressure and inflate as needed.
• Briefly drive the mower and check all systems and components to ensure they are functioning correctly.
WARNING!
Upon removal, cover the battery’s terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery or remove any of its components. Li-Ion batteries must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as
short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result
in fire and/or serious injury.
