Preparing to Use Your Mower
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the Mower before starting.
•
Never operate the NEUTON Mower without the proper guards, safety switches, or other safety and protective devices in
place and properly connected. Inspect the machine and cutting blade to determine proper installation of these devices,
and they are in good repair, and operate properly. If the condition or operation of these devices is questionable, you must
repair them or replace them before using the machine.
•
Follow the instructions for the proper installation and operation of accessories. Use only accessories approved by the
manufacturer. Do not alter any aspect of the Mower, Attachments, or Accessories in any way. Modifying or changing your
Mower or its Attachments and Accessories in any way could cause personal injuries and property damage, and will void
your warranty.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where you will be using the Mower, and remove all stones, lawn toys, wire, bones, sticks, pet
supplies, and any other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the Mower blade. Objects struck by the
Mower Blade can cause severe injuries. Also, note the location of holes, ruts, bumps, stumps, and other possible hazards to
avoid.
•
Never turn the Mower over while the motor is running. The Blade may throw objects or come loose and cause injury.
•
Mow only in daylight or in an area well lit by artificial light.
•
Do not charge the Mower battery in wet or rainy conditions.
Operating Your Mower Safely
Your Mower can operate as a Discharging, Mulching, or Bagger Mower. Learn how to use the Side Discharge Chute, Mulching
Plug, and Rear Bagger as appropriate.
•
Always stop the Motor, wait for the Blade to stop moving, and remove the Safety Key whenever you leave the operating
position (behind the handlebar) for any reason. In addition, remove the Battery when inspecting and cleaning the
machine, performing routine maintenance, clearing grass, making adjustments, and attaching or removing accessories.
•
Never insert the Safety Key into the Mower until you are ready to operate the Mower. Store the Safety Key away from
children and people not authorized to use the Mower.
•
The Cutting Blade always turns when the Motor is running. To quickly stop the machine’s Motor – simply release the
orange Control Bar. Remember that the Blade will continue to rotate for up to three (3) seconds after you release the
Control Bar.
•
Always stop the Motor completely before changing modes (Mower/Auxiliary).
•
Do not put your hands or feet near or under the rotating Blade. Keep clear of the discharge area at all times.
•
Never operate the Mower in the rain or when the grass is wet. Always be sure of your footing.
•
Keep a firm hold on the Handlebar, and walk – never run.
•
Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
•
Watch out for traffic when mowing near roadways.
•
Stop the Motor when crossing over loose materials such as gravel drives, walks, or roads, as objects discharged by the
Mower can be hazardous.
•
Do not operate the machine when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
•
Remove the Safety Key when the machine is not in use.
