Adjusting the self-propelled speed (Fig. V)
This lawnmower features a self-propelled function. The self-propelled speed also can be
changed by pushing the speed adjustment lever forwards and backwards. It is variable
speed, so the lever can be stopped at any position to get required speed.
Operating the lawnmower
Operating on a slope:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Do:
-
Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
-
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects or bumps which can cause you to slip or
trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do not:
-
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or
balance.
-
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
-
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
Mower overload protection
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to cut too much grass at one time. Slow your
cutting pace or raise the cutting height. Your mower has built-in overload circuit protection.
When the mower is overloaded, the motor will stop. Switch OFF the mower. Check to see if
grass has collected beneath the deck and clear it if necessary, then restart the mower.
Battery temperature protection
The battery pack will generate heat during operation. The heat dissipates more slowly in hot
weather. If the battery temperature exceeds more than 70
o
C during operation, the protection
circuit will immediately turn off the mower to protect the battery pack from damage. Release
the bail handle, wait until the battery pack cools down and then restart the mower.
Function of full indicator (Fig. W)
If the grass collection bag is empty or it is not filled with grass, the grass full indicator will be
open.
If the grass collection bag is filled with grass the grass full indicator will be closed.
Emptying the grass collection bag
As soon as the grass collection bag indicator closes while you are mowing this means that it
is time to empty the grass collection bag.
OPERATION

switched off.
Using the Self-propelled function

2. Push the self-propelled rear switch bar towards the handle and hold it in position. The
lawnmower will start to move automatically.
