Mower overload protection
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to cut too much grass at one time. Slow down your
cutting pace or raise the cut height. Your mower has built-in overload circuit protection. When
the mower is overloaded, the motor will stop. Switch the mower off and remove the battery
pack, check to see if grass has collected beneath the deck and clear it if necessary, then
restart the mower.

The battery pack will generate heat during operation. The heat dissipates slower in hot
weather. If the battery temperature exceeds more than 70

circuit will immediately turn off the mower to protect the battery pack from damage. Release
the trigger, wait until the battery pack cools down and then restart the mower.
