STORAGE
Immediately prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit
will not be used for 30 days or more.
EXTENSION CORD
• Wipe extension cord to remove any
foreign substances such as oil or stains.
IMPORTANT: Replace extension cord if
cut or damaged in any way.

prevent it from tangling.
OTHER

cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable pro tec tive
cover that does not retain mois ture. Do
