actuated, release the on/off lever. Press the
start button, and squeeze the on/off lever to
restart the product.
The battery pack has overheat protection.
Excessive temperatures cause the battery
to stop powering the product. If the battery
pack is too warm, allow it to cool down before
resuming operation. If the product still does
not work, recharge the battery.
NOTE: The battery pack LED indicator stops
working if the battery protection feature has
caused the battery pack to stop powering the
product. Release the on/off lever or remove
the battery pack from the product to resume
normal function of the battery pack LED
indicator.
GENERAL MOWING TIPS
The run time of the battery depends on the
condition, length, and density of the grass.
Adjust the cutting height of the lawnmower to
suit the current condition of the lawn.

■ For best performance, always cut off one-
third or less of the total height of the grass.
■ When cutting long grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting
and a proper discharge of the clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. Wet grass sticks to
the underside of the deck and prevents
proper collection or discharge of grass
clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a higher
cutting height.
■ Empty the grass catcher regularly to
prevent the discharged chute from getting
blocked with grass cuttings.
■ The product is designed to operate and cut
most effectively when moving forwards.
■ A higher cutting height extends the run
time of the battery.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■ Turn off the product, and remove the
isolator key and the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop. Allow the product to cool
down before storing or transporting.
■ Remove all foreign materials from the
product. Store the product in a cool, dry, and
well-ventilated place that is inaccessible
to children. Keep the product away from
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts. Do not store the product
outdoors.
■ For transportation in vehicles, remove
the isolator key, and secure the product
against movement or falling to prevent
injury to persons or damage to the product.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting
the product for maintenance, cleaning,
storage, or transportation. The blade is
sharp, keep all body parts away from the
blade while it is exposed.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local
and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging
and labelling when transporting batteries by a
third party. Ensure that no batteries can come
in contact with other batteries or conductive
materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-
conductive caps or tape. Do not transport
batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check
with the forwarding company for further
advice.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer’s
replacement parts, accessories, and
attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor
performance, and may void your warranty.
