FORWARD MOWING
OPERATION
To make a zero turn, slow down, but make sure the rear
wheels are still in motion. Then move the drive levers
in opposite directions one past neutral and one before
neutral. Which lever is in which position determines the
direction of the turn.
NOTE:
Perform zero turns at slow speed to help prevent
damage to your lawn.
OPERATING THE MOWER
See Figures 9 - 14.
WARNING:
Clear the area of bystanders before operating the mower.
If anyone enters the mowing area, stop immediately and
do not return to mowing until the bystanders leave the
area.
Before starting the mower:
Ensure work area is clear of children, bystanders, and
pets.
Clear the work area of objects that may be thrown by the
mower blades.
Check brake operation.
Check tire pressure.
Check for loose fasteners.
Check to make sure all guards are in place and working

NOTICE:
When the level of battery charge reaches the red zone on
the battery charge indicator, the blades will automatically
shut off. Return immediately to recharge. Continuing to
mow when the battery charge level is in the red zone
can cause the mower to become stranded away from
the charging area.
NOTE:
If the mower becomes stranded away from the
charger, it will be necessary to place the drive levers
in neutral and push the mower back to the charging
location.
