BATTERY
Recharge the battery to a full charge. Do
not store mower with a discharged
battery. Battery failure will occur in a very
short time if mower is stored without
having a full charge. We recommend that
you charge battery continuously while in
storage and during the off season,
OTHER
If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.
Cover your unil with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do
not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe
which allows condensation to form and
will cause your unit to rust.
