Mowing Tips (Fig. A)
WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE
MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL
STONES, STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER
DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE
ROTATING BLADE.
WARNING: Mow across the face of slopes, never
up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively
steep slopes. Always maintain good footing.
•
Release bail handle to turn mower "OFF" when crossing
any gravel area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
•
Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing
in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much
grass at one time can cause the blade motor to be
overloaded and to stop.

is used during the fast
discharge opening. Release bail handle to turn mower
off, remove the safety key and battery pack. Remove the
catcher and shake the grass down to the back end of
the bag. Also clean out any grass or debris which may
be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the
grass catcher.
•
If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail
handle to turn mower off, remove the safety key and
battery pack. Check immediately for cause. Vibration
is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a
service check has been made. Refer to Troubleshooting
Guide in this manual.
•
For best cutting results, keep blade sharpened
and balanced.
•
Inspect and thoroughly clean mower after each use as a
deck with caked grass will degrade performance.
•
Always release bail handle to turn mower off, remove
safety key and battery pack when leaving it unattended
even for a short period of time.
The following suggestions will help you
to obtain optimum run time from your
cordless mower:
•
Slow down in areas where the grass is especially
long or thick.
•
Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or
dew-soaked.
•
Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high
growth periods.
nOTE: It is recommended that your mower be recharged
after use to prolong the battery life. Frequent charging will
not harm your battery, and will ensure that the battery is
fully charged and ready for its next use. Storing battery not
fully charged will shorten battery life.
Transmission Thermal Switch
DANGER: Rotating blades can cause serious
injury. To prevent serious injury, remove safety
key and battery pack when unattended, or when
charging, cleaning, servicing, transporting,
lifting, or storing mower.
The thermal switch protects the self drive motor from
overloading and overheating that could damage the motor.
The thermal switch will automatically shut down power
to the self drive motor (not the blade motor) in the case
of overheating.
The reset of the thermal switch is automatic when the
transmission's internal temperature drops below 158° F
(70° C) and the self drive bail handle is in the released
(off) position.
When the thermal switch activates:
1. Remove safety key and battery pack.
2. Clean the self drive motor housing of debris. This will
keep the transmission cool. Refer to Troubleshooting
Guide in this manual.
3. Check that the wheels are spinning freely.
