Soft-Start
This LI-ION mower is equipped with a “soft-start” feature. When initially starting up, the mower will
take approx. 3 seconds to get up to full speed. If the mower does not initially start: Remove the
battery and check under the mower deck to ensure there is nothing obstructing the blade and that
the blade can spin freely by hand. Even a small amount of grass blocking the mower blade will
prevent the mower blade from accelerating and engaging.
C A U T I O N
Do not attempt to override the operation of the safety lock-out button or bail lever.
W A R N I N G
The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower and while
performing any adjustments or repairs.
INSPECT THE CUTTING AREA.
Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris that might
be thrown by the rotating blades.
