OPERATION
OPERATE THE LAWN MOWER
Operation on a slope:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
WARNING:
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 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. Check to see if grass has collected
beneath the deck and clear it if necessary, then restart the mower.
BATTERY HIGH 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 158˚ F 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, then restart the mower.
FUNCTION OF GRASS BAG FULL INDICATOR (See fig. 21)
Fig. 21
1. If the grass bag is empty or it is not filled with grass, the grass full indicator will open.
2. If the grass bag is filled with grass the grass full indicator will close.
EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG
When the grass bag full indicator starts to close during grass cutting, it is time to empty the grass bag.
NOTE:
before taking off the grass bag, switch OFF the power and wait until the blade has come to
a stop.
1. To take off the grass bag, use one hand to lift up ejector flap and the other to grab onto the carry
handle. The ejector flap automatically falls down after removing the grass bag and closes off the rear
chute opening.
2. Empty the grass debris in the grass bag, and refit grass bag.
NOTE:
If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. Do not remove
grass debris in the discharge chute or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that the cut grass can be collected into grass bag, the
discharge opening and inside the discharge chute must be cleared of any blockage.
