◾
To increase the speed, increase the lap bar's distance from neutal. The farther forward the lap bars are from the
neutral, the faster the mower will travel forward. The farther back the lap bars are from the neutral, the faster the
mower will travel in reverse.
DANGER : Stay at least two mowing widths (7ft) away from any ditches, drop-offs, or water. Front wheels can rotate
when the mower is stopped, even with the parking brake applied, and cause the mower to go over the edge or into the
water and result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING: Be aware of what is behind the mower before backing up. 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. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict death or serious injury.
WARNING: Be certain you have correctly set your intended direction of driving with the lap bars before depressing the
parking-brake pedal. Failure to do so could result in you driving the mower in an unintended direction, which could cause
loss of control or an accident.
WARNING: Be cautious when crossing over gravel paths or driveways. 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 traction
and control.
MOWING TIPS
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 mower's cutting
blades or motors. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and could cause serious
personal injury to the operator and to others.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motors and remove the batteries. 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.
◾
The mowing result will be the best with a high cutting blade speed and low driving speed. If the grass is not too long
and dense, the driving speed can be increased without negatively affecting the mowing result.
◾
When cutting heavy grass, reduce the driving speed to allow for a more effective cutting and a proper discharge of
the clippings.
