• Clear the mowing area of any debris before starting.

• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Mower Deck

After each use, disconnect the battery and clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup. Use a stiff brush or scraper. Do not use water directly on electrical components.

2. Blade Inspection and Sharpening

Regularly inspect the mower blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting performance. If necessary, have the blade sharpened or replaced by a qualified service technician. Always disconnect the battery before handling the blade.

3. Battery Care and Storage

Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity. Avoid fully discharging the battery before recharging to prolong its lifespan.
