MOWING TIPS
WARNING:
Do not mow on wet grass, which can cause you to slip
and fall and result in possible serious personal injury.
NOTE: Fully charge battery before each use for optimal
runtime.
„ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, tree nuts, sticks,
wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn
mower blade or motor. Do not mow over property stakes
or other metal posts. Such objects could damage the
blade or be accidentally thrown by the mower in any di-
rection and cause serious personal injury to the operator
and others.
NOTE: It is recommended not to remove more than 1/3 of
the total grass length at one time.
„ When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings. It is recommended using the side discharge
cutting configuration when cutting in heavy conditions.
„ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the
deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass
clippings.
„ New or thick grass may require operating the mower at
a higher cut setting.
„ Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blade to completely stop,
remove the start key and remove the battery pack from
the battery port before cleaning underneath the mower.
OPERATION
SLOPE OPERATION
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
that can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes
requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope,
do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to mow
slopes greater than 15 degrees and mow across the face
of slopes, not up and down.
„ Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exer-
cise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
„ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
„ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your bal-
ance, release the upper blade control lever immediately.
„ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER
See Figure 14.
„ Stop the mower and allow the blade to completely stop.
„ Open the battery cover.
„ Remove the start key and battery pack from the battery
port.
„ Lift the rear discharge door.
NOTE: The handles are designed to allow the grass bag to
pass through between them for easy removal.
„ Empty grass clippings.
„ Reinstall the grass catcher as described earlier in this
manual.
„ Release the rear discharge door.
„ Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are
ready to mow.
