Operation
4. MOWING TIPS
NOTE:
Always inspect area where mower is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wire,
metal and other debris which might be thrown by the rotating blade.
1) It is recommended to mow your lawn more frequently, walk at normal pace, and not to
start/stop the mower too often during operation.
2) For best performance, please ensure use of a fully charged battery pack and always cut
off 1/3 or less of the grass height.
3) Walk slowly when cutting long grass, so as to have more effective cutting and properly
discharge the clippings.
4) Avoid cutting wet grass; otherwise it will stick to the underside of the deck and the
clippings cannot be collected or discharged properly.
5) Use a higher cutting height for new or thick grass—it will extend the battery duration.
6) Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always maintain
good footing.
7) Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” when crossing any gravelled area (stones can
be thrown by the blade).
8) Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds.
Removing too much grass at one time can cause circuit breaker to trip, which stops
mower.
9) If a grass bag is used during the fast growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at
the discharge opening. Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF”. Remove the grass bag
and shake the grass down to the back end of the bag. Also clean out any grass or debris
which may be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the grass collection bag.
10) If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release switch lever to turn mower “OFF”.
Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower
until a service check has been made.
11) ALWAYS RELEASE SWITCH LEVER TO TURN MOWER “OFF” WHEN LEAVING IT
UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
