recommended that the unit be charged overnight to
ensure that the battery is fully charged.

the life and performance of your battery.

wait for the mower to completely stop. Mower
blades continue to rotate after the machine is
switched off and a rotating blade can cause injury.

7. MOWING TIPS
NOTE: Always inspect area where mower is to be
used and remove all stones, sticks, wire, metal and
other debris which might be thrown by the rotating
blade.
1. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep
slopes. Always maintain good footing.
2. Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” when
crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown
by the blade).
3. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing
in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too
much grass at one time can cause circuit breaker
to trip, which stops mower.
4. If a grass bag is used during the fast growing
season, the grass may tend to clog up at the
discharge opening. Release switch lever to turn
mower “OFF” and remove the safety key. Remove
the grass bag and shake the grass down to the
back end of the bag. Also clean out any grass or
debris which may be packed around the discharge
opening. Replace the grass bag.
5. If mower should start to vibrate abnormally,
release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” and
remove safety key. Check immediately for cause.
Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate
mower until a service check has been made.
6. ALWAYS RELEASE SWITCH LEVER TO TURN MOWER
“OFF” AND REMOVE SAFETY KEY WHEN LEAVING IT
UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

safety key before removing the grass bag.

BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT CUT
GRASS CLEANLY.

Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has
sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.
