SERVICE
•
When servicing the mower, use only replacement parts that are available from the
manufacturer. In order to obtain replacement parts, call the toll-free helpline, at 1-888-266-
7096. The use of parts that do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to
improper performance, and may compromise safety.
•
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, verify that the blade and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop, and remove the safety pin. In order to prevent accidental start-ups,
remove the safety pin when the mower is not in use. Remove the battery when making any
adjustments or when any of the four wheels must be lifted off the ground.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
•
•
Frequently check the blade and motor mounting bolts for proper tightness. Visually inspect
blade for damage (e.g.: bent, cracked, or worn).
•
For best and safest performance, maintain the mower with care. Keep the mower blade sharp
and clean. Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use
extra caution when servicing.
•
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check them regularly for proper operation.
•
After striking a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the safety pin. Thoroughly inspect
the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower. Blades are
sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing.
•
Lawn mower components are subject to wear and damage, which could expose moving parts
or allow objects to be thrown. As a safety precaution, frequently check components and
replace those that show signs of wear or damage.
•
When it is not in use, store the mower indoors in a dry area, with the safety pin removed, and
out of the reach of children.
