Storage
Follow the steps below to prepare the electric lawn mower +
mulcher for storage:
• Disconnect the power supply to the unit.
• Clean the unit with a dry cloth or hand brush.
• Inspect the mowing blade and replace/sharpen if it shows
signs of wear. Refer to the maintenance section.
• Store the unit indoors in a dry, clean, and cool area out
of the reach of children. Do not store the unit next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and rock salt.
• Wipe the extension cord to remove any foreign
substances, such as oil or stains. Replace the extension
cord immediately if it is cut or damaged in any way.
•
Wind the cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it
from tangling.
• Do not cover the electric lawn mower + mulcher with a
solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around
the unit, which can corrode the unit.
• The handle can be completely folded for compact storage
of your electric lawn mower + mulcher. Start by loosening
the handle knobs on each side of the upper handle and
fold down the upper handle (Fig. 14).
• Next, loosen the handle knobs on each side of the lower
handle. Pull outwards on each side of the lower handle
and lift the sides of the lower handle past the edges of the
handle mounting brackets. Fold the lower handle forward,
making sure not to bend or kink the power cord (Fig. 14).
