Servicing Double-insulated
Mower
In a double-insulated mower, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
mower, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the mower. Servicing a double-insulated mower
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
mower must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated mower is marked with the words
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE
INSULATED.” The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the mower.
Storage
Store mower in a cool, clean, dry place. Do not store
mower if it contains a battery in a warm basement.
Cover mower to keep it clean and protected.

Your mower has been designed to be safe if left

continually on charge when it is not in use
during the mowing season. During the
non-mowing season, the mower can be
unplugged and stored if the battery is fully
charged.
