ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
The mulching plug MUST be removed if collection bag is used during mowing operation.
This mulching plug prevents grass from being collected by blocking the collection chute. This allows
the grass clippings to be deposited back on the lawn during cutting. This finely cut grass acts as a
nutrient for the lawn.
To install the mulching plug:
■ Lift the deflector guard and detach the grass collection bag.
■ Lift and hold the deflector guard up with one hand.
■ With other hand grasp the mulching plug by its upright handle and insert the plug into the rear
discharge chute. Ensure that the locking latch snaps into place (Fig. 8 & 9).
■ Release the deflector guard back into position during operation.
To remove the mulching plug:
■ Lift and hold the deflector guard up with one hand.
■ With other hand squeeze the mulching plug’s upright handle to release the locking latch. Pull
the mulching plug up and out of the discharge chute.
Installing and Removing the Battery Packs (See Figs. 10-11)
NOTE: Both batteries should be installed into the compartments in order to start the mower.
To install the battery packs:
■ Make sure both batteries are fully charged.
■ Lift the battery compartment cover on the lawnmower deck.
■ Align the support rails located within the battery compartment with the guides in the battery
pack, and then insert the battery packs into the compartment (Fig. 10).
■ Push the battery packs until you hear a “click”.
■ Insert the isolator key into the keyholes located within the battery compartment.
■ Close the battery compartment cover.
NOTE:
Make sure that battery packs firmly snap into place and are secured to the mower before
starting operation.
To remove the battery packs:
■ Stop the machine. Lift the battery compartment cover and remove the isolator key.
■ Press the release button on the battery pack, grasp the battery pack firmly and pull out of the
battery compartment. Remove the second battery in the same way (Fig. 11).
■ Close the battery compartment cover.
If any parts are broken or missing, do not attempt to attach the battery packs to the mower or
operate the mower until the broken or missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury. Do not connect the batteries and/or the isolator key before the product is completely
assembled. Ensure the isolator key is not fitted before you install the batteries.
