GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this lawn mower does not 
cover items that have been subjected to 
operator abuse or negligence.  To receive 
full value from the war ranty, operator 
must maintain mower as instructed in this 
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made 
periodically to properly maintain your unit.  
All adjustments in the Service and Adjust-
ments section of this manual should be 
checked at least once each season.
•   Once a year, check blade for wear.
•   Follow the Maintenance Sched ule in this 

manual.

BEFORE EACH USE
•   Check for loose fasteners.
•   Charge the battery.  The three green 

LEDs on the battery will light when the

* Use a scraper to clean under deck      ** Replace blades more often when mowing in sandy soil

IMPORTANT:  Do not oil or grease plastic 
wheel bearings.  Viscous lu bri cants will 
attract dust and dirt that will short en the 
life of the self-lu bri cat ing bearings.  If you 
feel they must be lu bri cated, use only 
a dry, pow dered graphite type lubricant 
sparingly.
