Getting started
Open the battery door. Install one or
two battery packs. Make sure that
the latch snaps in place and that the
battery pack is secured to the product
before operating.
NOTE:
The on/off lever must be
continuously held during use. To turn
the product off, release the on/off lever.
For bagging operation, insert the metal
frame of the grass catcher into the
magnetic slot on the mower, and make
sure that the grass catcher fully covers
and aligns with the rear discharge
chute.
NOTE:
The grass catcher collects
grass clippings preventing them from
being discharged across the lawn
while mowing. The product will not
start without a catcher or mulch plug
securely installed.
Fully extend the upper handle.
Make sure that the upper handle is fully
extended.
Rotate the handle lock levers
counterclockwise to unlock the upper
handle.
