ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
BATTERIES
Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, EXPLOSION or
risk of injury.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries
could explode. Check with local codes for possible spe-
cial disposal instructions.
Keep all metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects away from the battery
and battery terminals that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause serious burns or a fire.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, brace-
lets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat
and cause burns.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Do not charge battery in an area of extreme heat or cold.
Batteries will charge best at temperatures from 50 ° F to
100 ° F
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
Do not expose the battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 ° F may cause explosion.
Do not store lawnmower in locations where the tempera-
ture is less than –22° F or more than 120° F If the lawn
mower is stored at temperatures below 50° F or above
100° F, remove the batteries and store separately ac-
cording to the temperature range recommended in the
battery manual. Do not store mower or batteries outside
or in vehicles.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in
tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supple-
ment 998000922.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOWING
Do not tow a cart that exceeds 500 lbs (227 kg) total roll-
ing weight. Never exceed 50 lbs (22 kg) tongue weight.
Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load
while on a slope is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control of your mower.
When towing, never use on steep slopes greater than 5°.
Follow manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights.
Do not put the mower into neutral when on a decline. Try
not to coast when towing.
Only use hitches that are approved for use with your
specific mower. Do not attach towed equipment except
at the approved hitch point.
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of
load being towed. Travel slowly and allow plenty of time
and distance to stop.
Do not turn sharply when towing. Make wide turns to
avoid jack-knifing. Use additional caution when turning
or operating under adverse surface conditions. Use care
when reversing.
Do not attempt to pull or dislodge stationary objects with
the tow hitch. The machine may pivot about the rear drive
wheels and lift upwards, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not use a chain, cable, or rope to pull accessories not
intended for towing. Only tow accessories that include
a tow attachment.
Use low speed when towing.
