WARNING
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges with rags or
other materials when performing any maintenance on the blades. Always remove the battery when
servicing or transporting the mower.

battery.
While wearing leather padded gloves, wedge a block
of wood between the blade and the mower deck in
order to prevent the blade from turning when the nut is
being removed.
Using a 15 mm wrench or socket (not included),
loosen the blade nut and remove the blade. Turn the
nut counterclockwise to loosen it and clockwise to
tighten it.
Remove the blade nut, the square washer, the

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To re-install the blade, position the blade with the
cutting edges toward the ground. Assemble the blade
nut, the square washer, and the insulator washer as
shown. Using a 15 mm socket or wrench, turn the
blade nut clockwise in order to secure the blade.
Note:

which they were removed. When installing the cutting

Cleaning the mower
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water.
The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
other debris will accumulate causing rust and corrosion.
Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Wipe the
mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
If debris builds up on the underside of the unit while in use, stop the motor and disconnect it from
the power supply. Tilt the mower forward, or on its side, and scrape it clean with an appropriate tool.
