Operating Instructions
Pre-Start Checks
If the mower battery pack is not fully charged, or if you are unpacking a new mower for the
first time, read the section on Battery Care & Charging on page 6 before operating the
mower.
!
WARNING! Do not insert the safety key until all pre-start checks have been made and you
have moved to the mowing area.
Þ
Check under the mower deck and make sure you are using the correct blade (for mulching or
grass collection), and that the blade is attached properly. Inspect for any visible damage to the
blade or deck, and remove any accumulation of dirt, dust or dried grass clippings.
Þ
Select the desired cutting height. See the instructions on Adjusting the Cutting Height on
page 14.
Þ
Attach the grass catcher, or install the discharge chute block for mulching. See the section on
Using the Grass Catcher on page 15.
Þ
Push the mower to the lawn area to be mowed.
Note: The lawn mower battery pack has been fully charged at the factory. However, since
batteries self-discharge over time, you must recharge the battery pack to a full charge
before using your mower for the first time
.
Reminder: The length of time that a battery pack can hold its charge while mowing a lawn depends
upon lawn conditions; tall or thick grass make the mower work harder and cause the battery pack to
discharge faster.
To Start the Motor and Engage the Blade

WARNING!
Starting, stopping and restarting an electric motor repeatedly within a
few seconds can generate a great deal of heat and damage the motor. To protect the
long life of your DR

allow the blade to stop rotating while the
motor is running.

(page 11, Figure 13). The safety key can
