NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 7
Maintaining and Storing Your Mower
Maintain the lawn mower with care — keep cutting edges sharp and clean for the best and
safest performance. K eep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the mower is in safe
operating condition. Follow the instructions in this manual for changing accessories.
Periodically inspect the cords on the charger unit and the handlebar for damage. If damage
occurs, do not use the mower until the cords have been replaced or repaired.
Do not operate the mower if it does not start normally or does not stop normally when the
control levers are released.
Use identical replacement blades only. Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Keep mower clean and dry. Use a damp cloth when cleaning. Never use water, gasoline,
solvents, or other petroleum-based or solvent-based products for cleaning.
When not in use, store the lawn mower indoors in a dry place and out of the reach of children.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the mower free of grass and leaves.
Handling the Battery Safely
Do not charge the lawn mower battery in the rain or in wet locations.
Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short-circuit it with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. When short-circuited, the battery or conductor may overheat
and cause burns.
Do not attempt to replace the individual battery cells inside the battery. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery.
Improper wiring within the battery could result in leakage or explosion.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, as the battery cells may explode. Do not open or mutilate
the batteries. Released electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive and will cause damage to eyes, skin,
or clothes. Battery acid is toxic if swallowed or if the fumes are inhaled.
WARNING! Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your
local hazardous materials regulations.
WARNING! ALWAYS remove the safety key before performing any adjustments
or repairs, or when storing your mower.
