6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lawn mower. Always disconnect the battery before performing any maintenance.

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the mower deck and grass catcher. Remove any grass clippings or debris from the blade area. Use a damp cloth; do not use water jets or harsh chemicals.
