Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not
operate this product until all missing or damaged parts are
replaced. Please call Greenworks tools customer service
for assistance. Avoid using solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt,
dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness to
ensure safe operation of the mower.
Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally. Do
not use water.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further bearing lubrication is required.
WARNING
Always protect hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or
wrapping the cutting edges of the blade with rags and
other material when performing blade maintenance.
Contact with the blade could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING
Do not lubricate any of the wheel components.
Lubrication may cause the wheel components to fail
during use, which could result in serious personal injury
to the operator and/or mower or property damage.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
See figure 9-10.
NOTE:
Only use authorised replacement blades. Replace
worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve
balance.
1. Stop the motor. Allow blade to come to a complete
stop.
2. Turn the mower on its side.
3. Wedge an obstruction between the blade and mower
allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge
of the clippings.
NOTE:
Always stop mower, allow blade to completely
stop, and remove the isolator key before cleaning
underneath the mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall
accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to
mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by
the blade.
■
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing
your balance, release the power lever immediately.
■ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
