SERVICE

Double Insulated Lawn Mower

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! 

1. When servicing the mower, use only replacement parts that are listed in this manual. The use of 

    parts that do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance, 

    and may compromise safety.

2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, verify that the blade and all moving parts have come to 

    a complete stop. In order to prevent accidental start-ups, disconnect the power cord when the 

    mower is not in use.

3. Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

4. Inspect the lawn mower's power cord and extension cords regularly, and replace them immedi

    ately if they are damaged. In order to obtain replacement parts, call the toll-free helpline, at 

    1 866 523-5218

5. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.

6. In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the motor free of grass, leaves, and debris build-up.

7. Check the blade and the motor mounting bolts for proper tightness frequently. Visually inspect 

    blade for damage (e.g.: bent, cracked, or worn).

8. 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.

9. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the mower is in safe working 

    condition.

10. Do not tamper with safety devices. Check them regularly for proper operation.

11. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor and disconnect the power cord. Thoroughly 

      inspect the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower.

12. The grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail shield are subject to wear and 

       damage, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. As a safety precau

       tion, check the components frequently, and immediately replace any parts that show signs of 

       wear, or that are cracked or broken. Use original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) parts only, 

       as listed in this manual.

13. When it is not in use, store the mower indoors in a dry area, locked up or out of the reach of 

      children.

Double insulation eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord and grounded 

power supply system. Wherever there is electric current in the mower, there are two complete sets 

of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor 

components by protecting insulation.

                IMPORTANT: Servicing a lawn mower with double insulation requires extreme care and 

                knowledge of the system, and should only be performed by a qualified service techni-

cian. If repairs are required, call the toll-free helpline, at 1-866-523-5218.

Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
