ADJUSTING THE DRIVE LEVERS
See Figure 33.
To maximize operator comfort and control, the height and
angle of the mower drive levers can be adjusted.
To adjust the drive lever height:
 Remove the hex head bolts from the drive lever mounting
bracket.
 Shift the drive lever up or down as needed.
 Reinstall the bolts and tighten securely.
To change the drive lever angle:
 Loosen the hex head bolts on the drive lever mounting
bracket, but do not remove.
 Move the lever forward or backward to achieve the desired
angle.
 Retighten the bolts to secure.
NOTE: Always keep both drive levers at the same height
and angle. Neutral position for the drive levers should always
be even.
STORING THE MOWER
The following steps should be taken before storing the
mower for the season.
 Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the
motor cover. Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. Do
not spray with a garden hose, water, or liquids to clean.
 Plug the mower up to charge for the entire time of stor-
age.
NOTE: If it is not possible to leave the mower charger
connected during storage, charge the batteries at least
once a month during storage.
 Store mower in a clean, dry place that is inaccessible to
children. Do not store near any appliance that operates
with flame such as a gas water heater, clothes dryer, or
furnace.
NOTE: Set the parking brake and do not leave the key
in the mower during storage. Place the key in a location
that is inaccessible to children.
 If the mower must be stored outside, make sure it is
covered completely to protect it from the elements.
 Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemi-
cals and de-icing salts.
