Maintenance

WARNING: Always remove the battery before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

1. Cleaning

• After each use, clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass clippings from building up, which can affect cutting performance. Use a stiff brush or scraper.
• Wipe down the exterior of the mower with a damp cloth. Do not use water hoses or pressure washers directly on the mower.
• Clean the grass collection bag regularly to ensure proper airflow.

2. Blade Care

• Inspect the blade regularly for sharpness and damage. A dull blade can tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
• If the blade is dull, it can be sharpened by a qualified service technician or replaced with a genuine CUSHYBITE replacement blade.
• Ensure the blade is balanced after sharpening to prevent excessive vibration.

3. Storage

• Store the mower in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove the battery from the mower before storing for extended periods. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
• The handle can be folded for compact storage.
