MAINTENANCE
• Use a stick or similar instrument to clean under the mower, making sure that no part of the body --
especially arms and hands -- is under mower.
•
Keep your machine clean and remove any deposits of trash and clippings. These can cause fires and
overheating. Allow machine to cool before storing.
•
Prevent fires by keeping battery compartment, deck and operator’s station clean of accumulated trash,
grass clippings, and other debris.
• Clean battery compartment, drive motor compartment, mower deck, seat, etc., of all dirt and debris. To
clean, use only compressed air. DO NOT use water, solvents, hard cleaners or abrasives.
• Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the batteries or when grinding mower blades
and removing accumulated debris. Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the mower’s
drive system, mower deck or any attachment while the traction drive system is running. Repairs or
maintenance requiring power should be performed by trained maintenance personnel only.
• Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack stands. Make
certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands.
• The jack stands should not allow the machine to move when the traction drive system is running and
the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a
minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds (907.2 kg) to block the unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the
instructions supplied with the vehicle stands.
• Do not touch hot parts of machine.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good working
condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• Turn the key to the “OFF” position before unclogging the discharge chute.
• Never clear the discharge chute with the machine running. Turn the key to the “OFF” position and be
sure the blades have stopped before cleaning. Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area. Never
use your hand!
• Stop unit and allow blades to stop before unclogging chute. Grass collection system components are
subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be
thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when
necessary.
• Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wear gloves
and use extra caution when servicing them.
• Use only genuine Greenworks Mower parts to ensure that original standards are maintained.
• Always disconnect batteries when transporting unit. Keep unit free of grass clippings, leaves and other
debris.
