Chapter 5: Caring and Servicing Your Mower
1.
Never make adjustments or repairs with the Motor running. Always stop the Motor, wait for the
Blade to stop moving, and remove the Battery to prevent accidental starting.
2.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
3.
Never attempt to make wheel-height adjustments while the Motor is running.
4.
Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow the Blade to throw objects. Check components frequently, and replace them
with the manufacturers recommended parts when necessary.
5.
Check the Blade and Motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Use only
authorized NEUTON replacement parts.
Mowing & Lawn Care Tips
•
For best results, mow at steady pace. If you try to walk too quickly, especially in tall grass, the quality of
the cut may not be uniform.
•
Mow often as needed so that you are only cutting 25mm – 50mm of grass each mowing session.
Cutting more 50mm may reduce the charge life of the battery.
•
For the healthiest lawn, avoid removing more than one third of the leaf blade during any one mowing
session. When more than one third of the blade is removed, the grass plant produces less food for it
and therefore becomes weaker and more susceptible to disease and insect damage.
•
Keep your mower blade sharp! A sharp mower blade cuts the grass quickly and cleanly, using less of
the mower’s power, which conserves battery pack life. For best results , inspect the blade often and
have an extra, sharp blade ready to install as a replacement while the dull blade is being sharpened.
•
Under normal use of the mower, it is suggested that the blade be replaced with a new one every two
years of use.
•
Alternate the mowing pattern on your lawn frequently. By changing the pattern and direction of the cut,
you’ll improve the health and appearance of your lawn.
•
Following the same mowing pattern cause soil compaction and turf wear from the mower wheels.
•
Mow across slopes; never up or down.
Cleaning
•
Remove battery pack.
•
Use a damp or sponge, with a mild soap or detergent if necessary, to clean the mower.
•
Do not use water or solvents for cleaning. Clean out any clippings that have accumulated on the
underside of the deck and in the discharge chute. A soft nylon brush or non-metallic scrubbing pad may
be used. Do not use a wire brush.
•
You may use water to clean the grass catcher. It is important for proper grass collection that the grass
bag is clean and that its mesh holes are not clogged. Allow the grass catcher to dry before use. A wet
grass catcher will clog quickly and hamper the grass collection.
