Check for loose fasteners.
Check to make sure all guards are in place and working
properly.
Clean debris from mower.
Test safety interlock system.
Adjust seat to desired position.
Verify battery charge level.
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.
NOTE: If the mower becomes stranded away from the
charger, it will be necessary to turn the key switch to the
off position and push the mower back to the charging
location. Never attempt to tow it over 5 mph.
Mowing:
Raise the mower deck to its highest position.
Insert start key and turn to ON position.
Release the parking brake.
Press the accelerator pedal and drive to desired mowing
location.
Stop the mower, turn key to OFF position, and set the
parking brake.
Lower cutting deck to desired position.
Turn start key to ON position and release parking brake.
Raise blade engage knob to activate blades and press
accelerator pedal to mow as desired.
DANGER:
Stay at least two mowing widths (7 feet) away from any
ditches, drop-offs, or water.
WARNING:
Use caution when crossing over gravel paths or drive-
ways. Before crossing, disengage the blades and raise
the cutting deck to the highest position to minimize the
possibility of ricochet. Drive slowly to avoid loss of trac-
tion and control.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not attempt to change direction suddenly between
forward and reverse while the mower is in motion. Always
come to a complete stop before changing the mower
direction to avoid loss of control and prevent death or
serious personal injury.
Reverse mode operation:
NOTICE:
The mower will emit a constant beeping sound when
operated in reverse with either the blade off or in reverse
mode operation.
Depress the brake pedal and bring the mower to a com-
plete stop.
Push blade engage knob down to turn blades off.
Press the reverse mode button.
Raise the blade engage knob, slowly press reverse pedal,
and reverse mow as needed.
WARNING:
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while backing
to make sure no children, bystanders, or pets enter the
mowing area. Be aware that the reverse mode operation
is activated when the reverse mode button is illuminated
in red and a constant beeping sound is emitted. Remem-
ber that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict death or serious injury.
