OPERATING THE MOWER
See Figures 13 - 14.
WARNING:
Clear the area of bystanders before operating the mower.
If anyone enters the mowing area, stop immediately and
do not return to mowing until the bystanders leave the
area.
Before starting the mower:
Ensure work area is clear of children, bystanders, and
pets.
Clear the work area of objects that may be thrown by the
mower blades.

NOTICE:
When the level of battery charge reaches the red zone on
the battery charge indicator, the blades will automatically
shut off. Return immediately to recharge. Continuing to
mow when the battery charge level is in the red zone
can cause the mower to become stranded away from
the charging area.

charger, it will be necessary to place the joystick in neutral
and push the mower back to the charging location.
