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 on start up will prevent the “soft-start”
from turning the mower on.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to override the operation of the start button.
WARNING: 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.
