Procedure: Clean after every use, especially after mowing wet grass.
Required steps:
- Remove the battery pack.
- Tip the mower onto its side, with the air filter cover facing up. Never tip it with the filter facing down.
- Use a brush, plastic scraper, or hose to remove caked grass from the underside of the deck and the blade area.
- Ensure the discharge chute and all openings are clear.
Additional checklist:
- Inspect the blade for damage. Replace if bent or deeply nicked.
- Ensure the mower is completely dry before storage.
- Store in a dry, covered location.
If problem persists: You are mowing grass that is too wet or too tall. Mow when grass is dry, and never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height per session.
