11. Operation and protection tips

Mower overload protection
11.1
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to
remove too much grass at one time. Slow
down your cutting pace or raise the cut
height. Your mower has built-in overload
circuit protection. When the mower is
overloaded, the motor will stop and the
power indicator on the mower will flash red.
Remove the battery pack from the mower.
Check to see if grass has collected beneath
the deck and clear it if necessary, then
install the battery and restart the mower.
Battery high temperature protection
11.2
The battery pack will generate heat during
operation. The heat dissipates more slowly
in hot weather. If the battery temperature
exceeds 70°C during operation, the
protection circuit will immediately turn off
the mower to protect the battery pack from
heat damage. The power indicator on the
mower will shine orange and the LED on the
battery will flash red.
Release the bail handle, wait until the
battery pack cools down to approximately
65°C, then restart the mower.
Mowing tips
11.3
NOTICE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance
the performance of the mower, especially
when cutting tall grass. Make sure to check
the sharpness of the blade before mowing.
• Verify that the lawn is free of stones,
sticks, wires, and other objects which
could damage the lawn mower or motor.
Such objects could be accidentally
thrown by the mower in any direction
24
and could cause serious personal injury
to the operator and to others.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object,
stop the motor and remove the battery.
• Thoroughly inspect the mower for any
damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the mower.
Excessive vibration of the mower during
operation is an indication of damage.
The unit should be promptly inspected
and repaired.
• For best results, do not mow in circles.
Travel back and forth across the lawn.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce your
walking speed in order to allow for a
more effective cut and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
• To maintain a healthy lawn, cut off only
one-third or less of the total length of the
grass. The average lawn should be
approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches long
during cool months, and between 2 to
3-1/4 inches long during hot months.
Slope gauge
11.4
WARNING: Do not mow a slope that has an
angle of greater than 15° (a rise of
approximately 2 1/2' (0.75m) every 10'
(3m)). Mow across the face of a slope and
never up and down.
Mulching tips
11.5
WARNING: Inspect the area where the
mower is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wire and other debris that might be
thrown by the rotating blade.
• Release the switch to turn off the mower
blade rotation when crossing any
graveled areas; stones can be thrown by
a rotating blade.
• Set the mower to the highest cutting
height when mowing on uneven ground
or in tall growth.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet
grass; it tends to stick to the underside of
the deck, preventing the proper mulching
of grass clippings. The best time to mow
grass is in the late afternoon, when the
grass is dry and the newly cut area will
not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• For the best mulching performance, set
the cutting height to remove
